Hosha'anot is part of the Sukkot service of the traditional weekday siddur. The full Hebrew text with English translation appears below; open it in the free interactive siddur to follow along.
During Sukkot one is to recite a specific section of Hasha'anot immedatly after Hallel (where indicated), but before Kaddish. First the introduction below is recited. Then the section for the corresponding day should be recited, this should be done while walking around the bimah. On Hoshanah Rabba all the sections are recited, and the bimah encirled seven times, walking with the lulav and etrog in hand. On Shabbat one should not recite Hasha'anot, however the section relating to Shabbat should be said during the next morning before saying the portion relating to Sunday; however, one need not circle when making up for the Shabbat. In many congreagations the word “הוֹשַׁעֲנָא” is said before each stanza, thought it is not shown in most editions of siddurim. In many cases it also applies the each stanza for the day as well; example, making first day read: “הוֹשַׁעֲנָא לְמַעַן אֲמִתָּךְ. הוֹשַׁעֲנָא לְמַעַן בְּרִיתָךְ ”. Each individual line is recited by the chazzan, then repeated by the congregation.

Grant salvation to the eternal people; to David and his descendants forever—the voice heralds.
Deliver Your people and bless Your heritage; tend them and exalt them forever. May these words of mine, which I have pleaded before the Lord, be near to the Lord our God day and night, so that He may provide the needs of His servant and the needs of His people Israel according to the requirements of each day; so that all the nations of the earth shall know that the Lord is God, there is nothing else.
