Lyrics

אַתְקִינוּ סְעוּדָתָא דִמְהֵימְנוּתָא. שְׁלֵמָתָא חֶדְוָתָא דְּמַלְכָּא קַדִּישָׁא.

אַתְקִינוּ סְעוּדָתָא דְמַלְכָּא. דָּא הִיא סְעוּדָתָא דְדָוִד מַלְכָּא מְשִׁיחָא. אַבְרָהָם יִצְחָק וְיַעֲקֹב אַתְיָן לְסַעֲדָא בַּהֲדֵיהּ.

דָּוִד מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל חַי וְקַיָּם.

סִימָן טוֹב וּמַזָּל טוֹב יְהֵא לָנוּ וּלְכָל יִשְׂרָאֵל אָמֵן.
