Milibeinu

 
מִלִּבֵּנוּ


Milibeinu anachnu sharim uvacharta bachayim l’maan tichyeh uz’chor ki baz’chirah sod g’ulah milibeinu.
מִלִּבֵּנוּ אֲנַחְנוּ שָׁרִים וּבָחַרְתָּ בַּחַיִּים לְמַעַן תִּחְיֶה וּזְכֹר כִּי בַּזְּכִירָה סוֹד גְּאוּלָה מִלִּבֵּנוּ.

Translation:

From our hearts we sing: "Choose life that you may live."
And remember, because remembrance is the secret of redemption from our hearts.
