was born the child of life
lit up high mountains
days since he crushed that snake
lit up high mountains
lit up the moon by daylight
redeemer who wore his crown
lit up high mountains
darkness was here no longer
-- had not come from holy places --
redeemer showed the way the torah
lit up high mountains
was born the sun that heals
healed the Shekinah
her wisdom came on us
lit up high mountains
he MY REMEMBRANCE says I'm faithful
to believers in Zevi Sultan
my belief in him a tree
lit up high mountains
days since he crushed that snake
lit up high mountains
lit up the moon by daylight
