A long road of suffering ahead of you
Say the prayer for the dead
Muster your strength and don’t lose heart
Yitgadal veyitkach shmé raba
In the air that smelled of burning flesh
Say the prayer for the dead
You’re going to be burned
Yitgadal veyitkach shmé raba
Frizzled away
Say the prayer for the dead
Turned to ashes
Yitgadal veyitkach shmé raba
Poor devils you’re going to the crematory
Say the prayer for the dead
Where is the humanity?
Yitgadal veyitkach shmé raba
Humanity? Humanity is not concerned with us
Say the prayer for the dead
Today anything is allowed
Yitgadal veyitkach shmé raba
Never shall they forget
Say the prayer for the dead
Face to face with the angel of death
Yitgadal veyitkach shmé raba
Condemned to death a child
Say the prayer for the dead
He had the face of a sad angel
Yitgadal veyitkach shmé raba
Where is god?
Say the prayer for the dead
He is hanging here on the gallows
Yitgadal veyitkach shmé raba
Sparse rations tormented by hunger
Say the prayer for the dead
We shall all see a day of liberation
Yitgadal veyitkach shmé raba
Muster your strength and don’t lose heart
Say the prayer for the dead
Yitgadal veyitkach shmé raba
