    Lyrics:

    Yiddish:
    Shnirele perele gilderne fon
    meshiekh ben dovid zist oybn on
    halt a beckher in der rekhter hant
    makht a brockhe afn gantsn land.
    Oi, omeyn veomen dos iz vor
    meshiekh vet kumen hayntiks yor.
    Vet er kumen tsu forn
    veln zayn gute yorn
    vet er kumen tsu raytn
    veln zayn gute tsaytn
    vet er kumen tsu geyn
    veln di yidn in Eretz Yisroyl aynshteyn

    English:
    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.

  5. I'd kinda wanna see a Fried/Helfgott duet on this but without them Friedifying or Helfgottizing it.

    Possible? Doubtful.

    His קאפשטימער at 1:55 reminds me of Pinchik's רבונו של עולם (ספירת העומר) at 1:43.

  7. And no Avi, its impossible for Fried and Helfgot NOT TO Helfgotiez/Avremelieze other compositions.

If it's not worth taking credit for, it's probably not worth saying!
