Pesach is a time to thank God for deliverig our ancestors from slavery to freedom, and to be grateful for the miracles that occurred. We say the Dayeinu to show that any one of those miracles would have been enough.

As each stanza is read, let us all agree in unison with 'Dayeinu'.

If God had only created the world and not brought us out of Egypt, it would have been enough. Dayeinu.

If He had brought us out of Egypt and had not carried out judgements against them, Dayeinu.

If God had only carried out judgements against them, and not given us their wealth, Dayeinu.

If He had given us their wealth, and had not split the Red sea for us, Dayeinu.

If God had only divided the sea but not helped us cross on dry land, Dayeinu.

If He had taken us through the sea on dry land, and not drowned our oppressors in it, Dayeinu.

If God had drowned our oppressors, but not supplied our needs in the desert for forty years, Dayeinu.

If He had supplied our needs in the desert and had not fed us the manna, Dayeinu.

If God had fed us the manna and not given us the Shabbat, Dayeinu.

If He had not given us the Shabbat and only given us the Torah, Dayeinu.

I-lu ho-tsi, ho-tsi ano, hotsianu mi-mitsrayim, hotsianu, mi-mitsriyim, dai-yenu.

Chorus: Dai-dai-yenu, dai-dai-yenu, dai-dai-yenu, daiyenu, dai-yenu!

I-lu na-tan, natan la-nu, natan-lanu et ha-shabbat, natan lanu et-ha-shabbat, Daiyenu.

(Chorus)

I-lu na-tan, natan la-nu, natan-lanu et ha-torah, natan lanu et-ha-torah, Daiyenu.

(Chorus)
