Ribbons, pearls, golden flags

the Messiah, son of David, is above us

he holds a goblet in his right hand

and gives his blessing to the whole earth.

Amen, amen, this is the truth

the Messiah will come this year.

If he comes by riding, good years are ahead.

If he comes by horse, new times are ahead.

If he comes by foot, every Jew will be settled in Eretz

Yisroyl.
