English:
The lord God sits on his [?]
Not far from the Garden of Eden
To him come many righteous people
And want to speak with him.
What would you ask, my children?
What is so difficult?
You may come to your senses
With you may be a request
With your head bent to the earth
Stand here, all, in his place
And the lord God sees you with (his) eyes
Hear His name and say (not a) word
You come along with a Yoreh De’ah
And swell with great humility
And you curl by the mouth
And trust the thick beard
Your children have been told
They should have fear for you
Have conscience said a great wonder
And your holy Torah
Honor your God speaking with you
?? makes all yellow
?? few the Garden of Eden
He will see the earth turn below
The cantor will come too,
Stop up the finger digging in his throat
I prayed, he says, full of sweetness
With a voice like an organ
Sabbath, holiday, Day of ??
For you, living Creator,
I prayed, speaking miraculous miracles
And read from your holy Torah
Honor ?? God speaking with you
?? makes all yellow
?? few the Garden of Eden
He will see the earth turn below
Here comes the slaughterer with the knife
?? a cold half
??
And succeed ??? created
And rush a slaughter
