"Mah Nishtana"

Mah Nishtana halayla hazeh mikol haleylot? Mikol haleylot?

Sheb-ch-ol haleylot anu o-ch-lim ch-ametz umatzah, 
Ch-ametz umatzah.
Halaylah hazeh, halaylah hazeh kulo matzah.
Halaylah hazeh, halaylah hazeh kulo matzah.

Sheb-ch-ol haleylot anu o-ch-lim she-ar yerakot. 
She-ar yerakot. 
Halayla hazeh, halayla hazeh maror. 
Halayla hazeh, halayla hazeh maror

Sheb-ch-ol haleylot eyn anu matbilin afilu pa-am e-ch-at. 
Afilu pa-am e-ch-at. 
Halayla hazeh, halayla hazeh sh'tae p'amim. 
Halayla hazeh, halayla hazeh sh'tae p'amim.

Sheb-ch-ol haleylot anu o-ch-lim beyn yoshvin uveyn mesubin. 
Beyn yoshvin uveyn mesubin.
Halayla hazeh, halayla hazeh kulanu mesubin. 
Halayla hazeh, halayla hazeh kulanu mesubin

Translation: The Four Questions

That on other nights we eat leavened bread or matzah, on this night we eat matzah 

That on other nights we eat other greens, on this night we eat bitter herbs. 

That on other nights we do not dip even once, on this night we dip twice. 

That on other nights we eat sitting or reclining, on this night we all recline.
