Lyrics – Transliteration
(Hebrew folk song)
Adir hu, adir hu
Yivneh veito bekarov,
Bimheirah, bimheirah,
Beyameinu beka’rov.
Ehl benei, Ehl benei
Benei veit-cha beka’arov.
English Translation – He is mighty
He is mighty, He is mighty
May He soon rebuild his house
Speedily, speedily and in our days, soon.
God, rebuild! God, rebuild!
Rebuild your house soon!

Hebrew – אדיר הוּא
אַדִּיר הוּא יִבְנֶה בֵּיתוֹ בְּקָרוֹב.
בִּמְהֵרָה,בִּמְהֵרָה, בְּיָמֵינוּ בְּקָרוֹב.
אֵל בְּנֵה, אֵל בְּנֵה, בְּנֵה בֵּיתְךָ בְּקָרוֹב.
אֵל בְּנֵה, אֵל בְּנֵה, בְּנֵה בֵּיתְךָ בְּקָרוֹב.
