Farbrengen has ended, everyone is off to bed,
I remain behind to think about what has been said.
Yud Alef Nissan, is already very near,
I cannot wait much longer, this golus I can’t bear.
Rebbe, to you, a birthday gift I want to give,
Making you happy is the reason that I live.
But how can we celebrate, your holy face we cannot see,
This way we can’t continue, with you we must be.
Aha, Hey! Ay-ay-ay!
Rebbe, you promised us, Hinei Zeh Moshiach Ba,
Why must it take so long, we can’t wait anymore.
Aha, Hey! Ay-ay-ay!
Ad Mosai, Hashem, how long will it be,
Unite us with the Rebbe in 770.
With great simcha we prepare, we know the time is very near,
The Rebbe’s words will be fulfilled, everyone will see.
We will dance and sing cuz’ with the Rebbe Shlita we will be,
This Yud Alef Nissan in the Mikdash Hashlishi.
I hate when people change English in order to make a rhyme, case in point:
“But how can we celebrate, your holy face we cannot see,
This way we can’t continue, with you we must be.”
Why not just say normally:
“But how can we celebrate, without your holy face in view,
We can’t continue this way, we must be with you”
