To life, to life, l'chai-im,! L'chai-im, l'chai-im, to life! Life has a way of confusing us Blessing and bruising us, Drink l'chaim, to life,
To life, l'chaim! L'chaim, l'chaim, to life! A gift we seldom are wise enough Ever to prize enough, Drink l'chaim, to life!
God would like us to be joyful Even though our hearts lie panting on the floor; How much more can we be joyful, When there's really something To be joyful for.
To life, to life, L'chai-im! L'chai-im, l'chai-im, to life! It gives you something to think about, Something to drink about, Drink l'chai-im, to life! l'chai-im !
