The complete lyrics to Dayeinu tell the entire story of the Exodus from Egypt as a series of miracles God performed for us. Dayeinu means "that would have been enough." This is a song of thanksgiving that reminds us that each of our lives is the cumulative result of many blessings, small and large. 

אִלּוּ הוֹצִיאָֽנוּ מִמִּצְרַֽיִם, דַּיֵּנוּ

Ilu hotzi- hotzianu, Hotzianu mi-mitzrayim Hotzianu mi-mitzrayim, Dayeinu

If God had only taken us out of Egypt, that would have been enough!

אִלוּ נָתַן לָנוּ אֶת הַשַׁבָּת, דַּיֵינוּ

Ilu natan natan lanu, natan lanu et ha-Shabbat, Natan lanu et ha-Shabbat, Dayeinu

If God had only given us Shabbat, that would have been enough.

אִלּוּ נָתַן לָֽנוּ אֶת־הַתּוֹרָה, דַּיֵּנוּ

Ilu natan natan lanu, natan lanu et ha-Torah, Natan lanu et ha-Torah, Dayeinu

If God had only given us the Torah, that would have been enough.
