Shanah tovah lecha, Aba,
Shanah tovah lach, Ima,

Shanah tovah umetukah
Lechol yaldah veyeled!
Shanah tovah, shanah tovah!

A GOOD YEAR
A year went, a year is coming
I raise my hands;
A good year to you, Dad,
A good year to you, Mom,
A good year, a good year!
A good year to uncle-hero
Who is on guard duty
And to each guard, in the city or village
A "be strong" blessing is passed to them
A good year, a good year!
A good year oh brave pilot,
Riding in the heights of heavens,
And much peace oh Hebrew sailor,
Making his way in the water
A good year, a good year!
A good year to everyone toiling
In a field or in a mortar
A good and sweet year
To every girl and boy!
A good year, a good year!
