Translated lyrics
Three years have passed in an instant I'm standing with joy at the entrance to the Talmud Torah I'm holding my child close, he is wrapped in a tallis. Help me give him a Torah life So that he only serves You. For You, Almighty, I allow a tear to fall I beseech and beseech You, Hashem, endlessly. Wrapped in a tallis he is holding his first schoolbook Dear Father, help him learn the aleph bais. Chorus: With the help of heaven, help my son, Dear Father, Protect him with grace, favor and kindness, Give him strength, sharpen his mind, So that he can reach high, Fill all his days with blessings and success, Without any end. I'm licking the letter, the sweet honey And sense the good taste, It warms my spirit with the flame of Torah, Wrapped in a tallis, as I look around and see And say aloud the aleph bais. Wrapped in a tallis, so pure, my little boy, May you strive your whole life to remain so.
