הייתה במועד שמחת תורה
פרצו בגבול ועשו שחיטה שכנינו צחקו ובגדנו כשחטפו את אחינו כבר עברה שנה ועוד בלי נוח ובלי שלום תגן את עמך, תחזיר שבוייך שיהיה לנו שוב מועד שמחה |
It happened on the festival of Simchat Torah
They broke through the border and committed a massacre Our neighbours laughed and betrayed us When they kidnapped our brethren A year already passed and more Without rest and without peace Protect Your nation, return Your captives So that we’ll once more have a festival of joy |
