My brothers, sons of Yemen,
call to Almighty God. (2x)

He will return the exiles of Zion
to his praised city. (3x)

My brothers, sons of Yemen,
call to the Most High King.
My brothers, sons of Yemen,
doing the will of the Great One.
My brothers, sons of Yemen, call to Almighty God.

My song I will raise to the exalted God of Heaven. (2x)

He has mercy on the people of Israel and has redeemed those in exile.

* Translator's note:
Transliterated according to Yemenite Hebrew pronunciation, as it is sung.
A few sounds are different from standard Israeli Hebrew.
I'm not sure of the first phrase in the last line.
There is also a final verse, which I don't have. Corrections or additions are welcome.

MEUS IRMÃOS, FILHOS DO YEMEN
(LIVRE TRADUÇÃO)
Meus irmãos, filhos do yemen
Clamem a d'us superior

Assentar° os que retornam a tzion
Numa cidade adorada

Meus irmãos, filhos do yemen
Clamem ao anjo do céu
Meus irmãos, filhos do yemen
Façam um grande desejo
Meus irmãos, filhos do yemen
Clamem a d'us superior


Meu canto elevarei
A d'us do céu subir°
Para a dor ter° compaixão
E resgatar° os filhos da paz

Meus irmãos, filhos do yemen
 Clamem ao anjo do céu
Meus irmãos, filhos do yemen
Façam um grande desejo
Meus irmãos, filhos do yemen
Clamem a d'us superior
