Hebrew Lyrics to Shir HaFalafel

מַיִם לְדָוִד הַמֶּלֶךְ

וְדָוִד חָשַׁק בְמַיִם מִן הַבְּאֵר שֶבְּיַד פְּלִשְׁתִּים,
לְמַלֵּא אֶת רְצוֹנוֹ יָצְאוּ שְׁלוֹשָה גְּבָרִים,
מִהֲרוּ הֵם אֶל בֵּית-לֶחֶם מֵי הַבְּאֵר לְהַעֲלות,
זֶה לָזֶה סִפְּרוּ בַּדֶּרֶךְ מַעֲשֵׂי גְּבוּרוֹת.

מַיִם לְדָוִד הַמֶּלֶךְ, מַיִם, מַיִם לְדָוִד,
מַיִם לְדָוִד הַמֶּלֶך, מַיִם לְדָוִד.

סָח אֶחָד מֵהֶם: "שִׁמְעוּ נָא – עַל דַּרְכִּי נִצַּב לוֹ הַר,
אֶת כַּפִּי עָלָיו הִנַּחְתִי – הִתְמוֹטֵט הָהָר".
הַשֵּׁנִי אָמַר: "הַקְשִׁיבוּ – אֶת דַּרְכִּי חָסַם נָהָר,
בְּקוֹלִי עָלָיו רָעַמְתִי – הַנָּהָר עָצַר"

מַיִם לְדָוִד הַמֶּלֶךְ, מַיִם, מַיִם לְדָוִד,
מַיִם לְדָוִד הַמֶּלֶך, מַיִם לְדָוִד.

הַשְּׁלִישִי, לְלֹא כָּל אֹמֶר, אֶת מַחֲנֵה פְּלִשְׁתִים שִׁיסַע,
אֶת הַבְּאֵר עִל כָּל מֵימֶיהָ עַל גַּבּוֹ נָשָׂא.
אָז דָוִד מִזְמוֹר הִשְמִיעַ לִשְׁלוֹשָׁה הַגִיבּוֹרִים,
לַתַּנַּ"ך פָּסוּק הוֹסִיפוּ וּמֵאָז שָׁרִים:

מַיִם לְדָוִד הַמֶּלֶךְ, מַיִם, מַיִם לְדָוִד,
מַיִם לְדָוִד הַמֶּלֶך, מַיִם לְדָוִד.

Mayim mayim leDavid!

English translation of Shir HaFalafel

Water for King David

And David thirsted for water
from the well in the hands of the Philistines.
To fulfill his wish
three heroes went forth.

They hurried to Bethlehem
to draw from the well.
On the way they told each other
tales of valour.

Water for David the King.
Water, water for David!
Water for David the King.
Water, water for David!

Said one of them:
"Listen! A mountain barred the way -
I laid my hand on it and
the mountain gave way.

The second said:
"Listen! A river blocked my path.
I raised my voice and -
the river stopped."

Water for David the King.
Water, water for David!
Water for David the King.
Water, water for David!

The third without a word
cleft the Philistine camp
and carried off the well and all its water
on his back

Then David sang a song
to the three heroes.
They added a verse to the Bible
and since then we sing -

Water for David the King.
Water, water for David!
Water for David the King.
Water, water for David!
