Aerial views of Israel set to various soundtracks. Part 2 - music by The Klezmatics - Shnirele Perele (lyrics below)
--------------------------------------
King David seen exactly in the eschatological light of Seder Night also foresees the figure of the Messiah, as he is described in this beautiful Hassidic song:
A string of pearls, a golden banner
The Messiah, son of David sits on high
Holding a goblet in his right hand
Making a blessing on the whole land.
Amen and amen, this is sure:
The Messiah will come this year.
If he comes by chariot,
There will be good years.
If he comes on horseback,
There will be good times.
If he comes on foot,
The Jews will go into the Land of Israel.
Shnirele perele, gildene fon
Meshiakh ben Dovid zitst oybn on
Er halt a bekher in der rekhter hant,
Makht a brokhe afn gantsn land.
Omeyn veomeyn, dos iz vor,
Meshiakh 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 erets yisroyl aynshteyn.
Kata recounts that when the Klezmatics at the very end of the 80's -- among the first signs of the political opening of Hungary -- gave a concert in Budapest, and they had been frolicking throughout all the night with such modern klezmers like
at the very end they suddenly stopped short, and then silently started this song: The Messiah will come this year.

Ribbons, pearls, golden flags
the Messiah, son of David, is above us

and gives his blessing to the whole earth.
