1. O Jack, you are unique in your time
And every age has one that cannot be matched

2. Those before have lived with you and missed
Hearing you, as if they were never created

3. Moses came with a staff, and you came to us
With a lute singing in your hands and speaking

4. So when you improvised songs for us, we were all
Smitten, with passions set ablaze

5. Some calling for repetition, some
For more, applauding and cheering

6. Ears competing towards you whenever
You sang them yearningly, and they would hug

7. And hearts wishing if they could hang
By their fringes onto you

8. A nature as the companion desired, an essence
That makes the bosom of the friendly radiant and fragrant

9. And a generosity that if it were
Divided among the Jews, they would excel and give charity
