אין אומרים קינה זו במוצאי שבת
On Saturday night, we skip the following Kinnah
אוֹי כִּי יָרַד אֵשׁ מִן הַשָּׁמַיִם. לִירוּשָׁלַיִם. עֵינִי עֵינִי יוֹרְדָה מַּיִם:
Alas for fire came from the sky. To Jerusalem. My eye, my eye is full of water.
טִירַת קֹדֶשׁ אֵיךְ נְשַׁמָּה. יוֹשֵׁב בַּשָּׁמַיִם עַד מָה. בַּת מֶלֶךְ אָמָה. הַקְּדֵשָׁה הִיא בָעֵינַיִם: לִירוּשָׁלַיִם. עֵינִי עֵינִי יוֹרְדָה מַּיִם:
Holy castle, how did it become wilderness? Oh heaven dweller, why? The daughter of the king is a slave. The harlot is in the eyes. To Jerusalem. My eye, my eye is full of water.
יֶרַח אָב בּוֹ־שִֽׁמְשִׁי קָדַר. אַהֲרֹן הַכֹּהֵן בּוֹ נֶעְדָּר. וְגַם עִיר הֶהָדָר. בּוֹ חָֽרְבָה פַּעֲמָיִם: לִירוּשָׁלַיִם. עֵינִי עֵינִי יוֹרְדָה מַּיִם:
The month of Av darkened the sun. It's the one when Aharon died. And the splendid city was destroyed twice. To Jerusalem. My eye, my eye is full of water.
מָרָה הַלַּיְלָה הַזֶּה אָרִים. וַיְהִי לִבְכִי לֵיל שִׁמּוּרִים. וְאוֹתִי הֶחֱרִים. אֵל מוֹצִיאָם מִמִּצְרַיִם: לִירוּשָׁלַיִם. עֵינִי עֵינִי יוֹרְדָה מַּיִם:
The night is bitter. It's a night of crying. He destroyed us, God who took us from Egypt. To Jerusalem. My eye, my eye is full of water.
(יִבָּקַע אוֹרִי יָהּ כַּשַּׁחַר. עַל רְשָׁעִים צוּר אַפּוֹ יִחַר. וּבְעַמּוֹ יִבְחַר. הַבּוֹחֵר בִּירוּשָׁלַיִם:)
(May my light, God, shine like dawn. He'll throw his anger on the wicked. And choose His people. He who chose Jerusalem). Note: I could not preserve the rhyming scheme. In most stanzas it is three identical syllables, followed by a verse that ends with -aim, and then the -aim twice again in the refrain. In the first stanza it is just three -aim, and in the last stanza the refrain does not appear.
