ANI YEHUDI- Yaakov Shwekey- Composed by Yitzy Waldner, Lyrics by Yitzy Waldner & R’ Hillel Eisenberg- Happiness
VERSE 1:
As I look at the years, who can count the tears
So many lost, so many fears,
I often wonder
Will this lion rise again.
Mama born in the DP camps
Hopes inside her heart that she will dance again,
But I often wonder
Repetition of the trend.
PRE-CHORUS 1:
Every generation
Hoping for salvation,
Open up and see – it’s You.
CHORUS 1:
Say it out loud, sing it out proud
Ani Yehudi, Ani Yehudi,
Say it out loud, sing it out proud
Ani Yehudi, Ani Yehudi.
VERSE 2:
Way up on a hill
For all the world to see,
There we were as one with You
So many memories.
How can we forget
The peace and harmony,
Our faith cemented
Lives of purity.
But in our hearts we know
The promise that You made,
That we will sing again
And never to forsake,
To the only nation
That crowned You as our King.
PRE-CHORUS 2:
Every generation
Hoping for salvation,
Open up and see – it’s You.
CHORUS 2:
Say it out loud, sing it out proud
Ani Yehudi, Ani Yehudi,
Say it out loud, sing it out proud
Ani Yehudi, Ani Yehudi.
BRIDGE:
They try to erase us
But we still fight,
’Cause you can’t kill a people
That are made of light.
CHORUS 3:
Say it out loud, sing it out proud
Ani Yehudi, Ani Yehudi,
Say it out loud, sing it out proud
Ani Yehudi, Ani Yehudi.
