1. Have mercy on us, O children of the Jews, enough
Of what you have gathered with your cunning of gold

2. And turn a blind eye to our minds, and leave creation
To the secret of the Torah and Talmud

3. Do not add more traps
Of melody between drums and lutes

4. And it rules that Jack went too far
Exceeding his people over David

5. Silence him, lest God silence that
Voice, the voice of the orphan singing

6. Or leave him, his ransom if he sings
Every soul and all that exists
