Lyrics:
Chorus:
May you be sealed for a good year,
For a sweet year, for a healthy year.
May you be written in the book of life,
G’mar chatima tova (repeat)
A holy day, a solemn day, a day to set aside,
On Yom Hakipurim
From our sins, we will not hide (chorus)
We make amends to others
for the wrongs that we have done,
Then we ask God for forgiveness,
Yes, we face the Holy One. (chorus)
When day turns into night
The final shofar blast we hear
As the book of life is closed we say
In Jerusalem next year. (chorus)
