Translated lyrics
Approximate translation (I don't speak Yiddish): Verse 1 Suddenly news is heard, everything stops -- all at once People run from all sides, from the whole world -- countless Around Jerusalem a sound that goes on millions of shofars (ram's horms) calling -- nobody tires It's Yom Tov (a Holiday) and the streets are all full. Chorus Yidden (Jews), come home. Maschiah (The Messiah) is crying out In the streets of Jerusalem. Yidden come along with love, with peace -- This is the truth -- it's not a dream. (First ending, chorus) Lechaim (To life), dear Yidden Be happy and content Hashem (the Almighty) our G-d, Hashem is One. (Second ending, chorus) Lechaim, good brothers, Dance and be happy again Hashem elokenu, Hashem is One. Verse 2 Now, just as at the giving of the Torah, everyone was cured -- all at once All hearts are gladdened with pleasure -- all Israel To give all your love for every Jew To see only good by everyone -- so well, so good, He comes, he comes .... even today if all will want Back to Chorus
Notes
These lyrics were printed in hebrew script on one of the Mordechai ben David cassettes (probably Jerusalem Not For Sale). I don't speak Yiddish, so the translation is approximate. Wherever I'm not sure of the meaning, I have put two question marks (??) adjacent. This song was was performed by a German rock group in 1979 (Obviously with German words). Whom do you think got it from who?
