עַל זֶה הָיָה דָּוֶה לִבֵּנוּ. וְעַל אֵלֶּה חָשְׁכוּ עֵינֵינוּ:
For this our heart was faint, for these things our eyes dimmed.
עַל שִׁמְמוּת עִיר קָדְשֵׁנוּ. בְּלֵיל זֶה יְגוֹנֵנוּ. נֶהֶפְכוּ נְהִי רְנָנֵינוּ: ועל
On the desolation of our holy city Tonight we feel our sorrow an our joy is overturned.
עַל קִרְיָה נִפְלְאָתָה. אֲשֶׁר הוּשָׁתָה בָתָה. לְתוֹרָה וּמִצְוָתָהּ. הֶאֱטַמְנוּ אָזְנֵינוּ: ועל
On the wondrous city that was made desolate, to the Torah and its commandments which we shut out from our ears.
נִפְרַע הֵיכָלֵנוּ. נִשָּׂא בְּמַר קוֹלֵנוּ. יוֹם הִרְבּוּ חֲלָלֵינוּ. אוֹי מַה בָּא עָלֵינוּ: ועל
Our heichal was disheveled so we raise our ears in bitterness on the day our desecration multiplied. Oy! what has come upon us.
וְסַף מִזְבֵּחַ וְאָרוֹן. כִּי גָבַר הֶחָרוֹן. וְקוֹל הֵרִים זָר בְּגָרוֹן. בְּבֵית אֲדוֹנֵנוּ: ועל
And the alter and ark perished when [Hashem's] anger grew stronger. I picked up a strange voice in my throat in the house of our lord.
וְסַף כּוֹחֵנוּ וְכָשַׁל. בְּלַחַץ מוֹנֶה כָּשַׁל. כִּי הָיִינוּ לְמָשָׁל. וְלַעַג לִשְׁכֵנֵינוּ: ועל
Our strength weakened and we stumbled from the force of our oppressor we fell. We have become a cautionary tale and a mockery to our neighbors.
נִשְׁכַּחְנוּ כְּמֵת מִלֵּב. מוֹנֶה גוֹזֵז וְחוֹלֵב. וְנִצְרַח בְּתִגְרַת אוֹיֵב. לָאֵל וְאֵין עוֹנֵנוּ: ועל
We have been forgotten from the heart like a dead man. Our oppressor has sheared and mauled us. We scream from the provocation of our enemy to God who doesn't answer us.
פִּתְאוֹם בָּא אֵידֵנוּ. וַיִּרְפּוּ יָדֵינוּ. וְגָבְרָה יַד מוֹנֵינוּ. בָּחֳרִי אַף קוֹנֵנוּ: ועל
Our distress came suddenly and our hands were weakened and the hands of our oppressors strengthened and in His flaring wrath, He sold us.
