    Sheb'khol haleilot anu okhlin hametz umatzah; halailah hazeh, kuloh matzah.

    Sheb'khol haleilot anu okhlin sh'ar y'rakot; halailah hazeh, maror.

    Sheb'khol haleilot ein anu matbilin afilu pa'am ehat; halailah hazeh, shtei f'amim.

    Sheb'khol haleilot anu okhlin bein yoshvin uvein m'subin; halailah hazeh, kulanu m'subin.

    		  

    Translation

    Why is this night different from all other nights?

    On all other nights we eat leavened products and matzah, and on this night only matzah.

    On all other nights we eat all vegetables, and on this night only bitter herbs.

    On all other nights, we don't dip our food even once, and on this night we dip twice.

    On all other nights we eat sitting or reclining, and on this night we only recline.
