Al kal entri me desmayi
De ver la teva me namuri
Un banko tupi me asenti
Al lado del Mashiah a-Ben David
Adonai Elohenu arahamim ve asilihot
When I entered the synagogue, I felt faint,
Seeing the podium, I fell in love.
I found a seat and I sat down,
Beside the Messiah, son of David.
O Lord our God, full of mercy and forgiveness.
