With the FrisGing Csun, on her Amwedding day
She Craised her Geyes to the Fheavens
And she Fthanked GHasAmhem, for the Fman of Gtruth
With whom she Fwould build a Gnation.
But with FnightGfall cCame, destiAmny betrayed
The Cveil conGcealing aFnother
Yet a FsisGter's Amshame, not her sFhattered dGreams
Took Ghold of her heart & her Amsenses
[Chorus]
Mama Rochel Amcry for us Gagain
Won't you shed a Emtear for your dear Amchildren
If you raise your Dmsweet voice now as Gthen the day will Amcome
Mama Rochel Amcry for us Gagain
Won't you shed a Emtear for your dear Amchildren
Bi'zechuDmtaich v'shavu Gvonim lig'vuAmlom
In a FroadGside Cgrave, she was Amlaid to rest
In CsoliGtude forFever
But her Fvoice Ggave Amhope to the Fbroken hGearts
Of her daughters and Fsons - bound for Gexile
When her FplaintGive Ccry gained DAmivine consent
A Cchallenge Gto her FMaker
Can the FmerGcy Amof mere Fflesh & Gblood
Run Gdeeper than yours our AmCreator?
[Chorus]
Mama Rochel Amcry for us Gagain
Won't you shed a Emtear for your dear Amchildren
If you raise your Dmsweet voice now as Gthen the day will Amcome
Mama Rochel Amcry for us Gagain
Won't you shed a Emtear for your dear Amchildren
Bi'zechuDmtaich v'shavu Gvonim lig'vuAmlom
Now your Fvoice Gis sCtill as you Amheed the call
Of m'Cni kolGaich mi'Fbechi
It's our FFathGer's Amwill, He who Fmade us Gall
Dare we ask of Fyou - to deGfy Him?
Yet a fFrighGtened Cchild, numb from Ampain and grief
RemCains forlGorn and Funcertain
Clinging Fto Gthe Amfaith, that it Fcan be hGeard
As iGt cries out Amto its mother
[Chorus]
Mama Rochel Amcry for us Gagain
Won't you shed a Emtear for your dear Amchildren
If you raise your Dmsweet voice now as Gthen the day will Amcome
Mama Rochel Amcry for us Gagain
Won't you shed a Emtear for your dear Amchildren
Bi'zechuDmtaich v'shavu Gvonim lig'vuAmlom
Mama mama Amvain nochamGol
Trerren zolttz du Emgissen un a tzoAmhl
Beten fun Dmbashefer in Ghimmel, b'kol Amrom
Mama mama Amvain nochamGol
Trerren zoltz du Emgissen un a tzoAmhl
Bi'zechuDmsaich v'shovu Gvonim lig'vuAmlom
Rachel ImeAminu s'ee kGolaich

Chords in this song · guitar

F G C Am

With the rising sun, on her wedding day

C G F

She raised her eyes to the heavens

F G Am F G

And she thanked Hashem, for the man of truth

F G

With whom she would build a nation.

F G C Am

But with nightfall came, destiny betrayed

C G F

The veil concealing another

F G Am F G

Yet a sister's shame, not her shattered dreams

G Am

Took hold of her heart & her senses

[Chorus]

Am G

Mama Rochel cry for us again

Em Am

Won't you shed a tear for your dear children

Dm G Am

If you raise your sweet voice now as then the day will come

Am G

Mama Rochel cry for us again

Em Am

Won't you shed a tear for your dear children

Dm G Am

Bi'zechutaich v'shavu vonim lig'vulom

F G C Am

In a roadside grave, she was laid to rest

C G F

In solitude forever

F G Am F G

But her voice gave hope to the broken hearts

F G

Of her daughters and sons - bound for exile

F G C Am

When her plaintive cry gained Divine consent

C G F

A challenge to her Maker

F G Am F G

Can the mercy of mere flesh & blood

G Am

Run deeper than yours our Creator?

[Chorus]

Am G

Mama Rochel cry for us again

Em Am

Won't you shed a tear for your dear children

Dm G Am

If you raise your sweet voice now as then the day will come

Am G

Mama Rochel cry for us again

Em Am

Won't you shed a tear for your dear children

Dm G Am

Bi'zechutaich v'shavu vonim lig'vulom

F G C Am

Now your voice is still as you heed the call

C G F

Of m'ni kolaich mi'bechi

F G Am F G

It's our Father's will, He who made us all

F G

Dare we ask of you - to defy Him?

F G C Am

Yet a frightened child, numb from pain and grief

C G F

Remains forlorn and uncertain

F G Am F G

Clinging to the faith, that it can be heard

G Am

As it cries out to its mother

[Chorus]

Am G

Mama Rochel cry for us again

Em Am

Won't you shed a tear for your dear children

Dm G Am

If you raise your sweet voice now as then the day will come

Am G

Mama Rochel cry for us again

Em Am

Won't you shed a tear for your dear children

Dm G Am

Bi'zechutaich v'shavu vonim lig'vulom

Am G

Mama mama vain nochamol

Em Am

Trerren zolttz du gissen un a tzohl

Dm G Am

Beten fun bashefer in himmel, b'kol rom

Am G

Mama mama vain nochamol

Em Am

Trerren zoltz du gissen un a tzohl

Dm G Am

Bi'zechusaich v'shovu vonim lig'vulom

Am G

Rachel Imeinu s'ee kolaich

Em Am

Shuv shifchi kamayim dimataich

Dm G Am

B'chi nah al banim asher galu v'al sivlam

Am G

Rachel Imeinu s'ee kolaich

Em Am

Shuv shifchi dimah lifnei konaich

Dm G Am

Bi'zechutaich v'shavu banim ligvulam
