Lyrics for Our Father, Our King – Avinu Malkaynu

11. Our Father, Our King
Avinu Malkeynu (5:48)

Our Father, Our King, be gracious to us and answer us. This prayer is said during the High Holy Days, expressing humility and repentance for our sins of the past year; asking that we and our loved ones be inscribed in the Good Book of Life for the coming year.

Avinu Malkeynu choneynu va’aneynu,
Avinu Malkeynu choneynu va’aneynu ki eyn banu ma’asim.
Asay imanu tzedakah va’khesed,
Asay imanu tzedakah va’khesed v’hoshi-eynu.

Pardon us when we’re wrong, Our Father, Our King.
We’re trying to be strong, for You this song we sing.
Make this year brand new, forgive the mistakes we made.
Open our eyes and our hearts so our mouths can sing.

Avinu Malkeynu choneynu va’aneynu,
Avinu Malkeynu choneynu va’aneynu ki eyn banu ma’asim.

Inscribe us in the Book of Life.
My mother, my father, my wife, my children don’t forget.
To show us forgiveness, we really want to be good.
Help us in our ways, like we know we should, each and every day.

Asay imanu tzedakah va’khesed.
Asay imanu tzedakah va’khesed V’hoshi-eynu.

We accept the meaning of the words You say,
Renew us for another year today,
Take our hand, show us the way, as we pray.

Avinu Malkeynu choneynu va’aneynu,
Avinu Malkeynu choneynu va’aneynu ki eyn banu ma’asim.
Asay imanu tzedakah va’khesed,
Asay imanu tzedakah va’khesed v’hoshi-eynu.
