Words by Shmerke Kaczerginski (1908-1954) and
Music by HaRav Abraham Isaac Kook (1865-1935)
"If you're feeling downhearted, take a little drink
When sorrow keeps you from your rest, sing a little song
If there's not a drop of whiskey, let us drink water
Living water is but life itself --
What more does a Jew need? Let the Redemption come
The Messiah is coming soon!
Trees are dancing in the woods, stars dance in the sky
Reb Yisroel twirls in their midst
The Messiah will awaken from his deep slumber
When he hears our prayerful song
Our generation bears responsibility, let us not be fools --
Were it not for sinning, the Messiah would come sooner
Dear Father in Heaven, we ask for mercy
Please see that the Messiah doesn't come a little bit too late"
