Dayenu (It Would Have Been Enough for Us!): Hebrew Lyrics, Part 1
Dayenu (It Would Have Been Enough for Us!): Hebrew Lyrics, Part 2

English Translation:

It Would Have Been Enough for Us!

If He had brought us out of Egypt
but had not executed judgments against
(the Egyptians),
it would have been enough for us!

If He had executed judgments against
(the Egyptians)
but had not acted against their gods,
it would have been enough for us!

If He had acted against their gods,
but had not killed their firstborn,
it would have been enough for us!

If He had killed their firstborn,
but had not given us their wealth,
it would have been enough for us!

If He had given us their wealth,
but had not split the sea for us,
it would have been enough for us!

If He had split the sea for us,
but had not brought us through it on dry land,
it would have been enough for us!

If He had brought us through it on dry land,
but had not drowned our oppressors within it,
it would have been enough for us!

If He had drowned our oppressors within it,
but had not satisfied our needs in the wilderness
for forty years,
it would have been enough for us!

If He had satisfied our needs in the wilderness
for forty years,
but had not fed us the manna,
it would have been enough for us!

If He had fed us the manna,
but had not given us the Sabbath,
it would have been enough for us!

If He had given us the Sabbath,
but had not brought us before Mount Sinai,
it would have been enough for us!

If He had brought us before Mount Sinai,
but had not given us the Torah,
it would have been enough for us!

If He had given us the Torah,
but had not brought us into the land of Israel,
it would have been enough for us!

If he had brought us into the land of Israel,
but had not built the temple for us,
it would have been enough for us!
