עוד ישמע [Od Yishama] [English translation]

This is the day in which the heavens open

This is a dream that materializes at the same time

This is an opportune time, opportune indeed

Great waters cannot extinguish this love1

We will yet hear in this house

The sound of joy, the sound of happiness

We will yet here the voice of the groom, the voice of the bride2

This is a sound that connects souls here

This is a sound, no, there is no need to change

There is a hidden light here that is revealed to all eyes

A pace that makes everyone move, everyone can come and take

Great waters cannot extinguish the love

We will soon hear G-d in the cities of Judah

In the outskirts of the capital, the sound of joy, the sound of happiness

The voice of the groom the voice of the bride.

1. Song of song 8: 72. Jeremiah 33: 11 commentaries loc cit. suggest that 'groom' is a metaphor for G-d and 'bride'

is a metaphor for the Jewish Peope
