When Eliezer prostrated himself on Rabbi Levi Yitzhak's Zion in Ukraine, he saw the words hanging on the Zion, and for him it was a sign - to speed up the production and record the song.
The words, in Yiddish, describe the virtues of the children of Israel, who sacrifice their lives for more Torah and more mitzvot, and despite the difficult exile and all the difficulties - continue to shout "Hosanna, please.".
Here is a poem by Rabbi Levi Yitzhak with a Hebrew translation:
Let us count, let us count and enumerate the virtues of the children of Israel.
First degree - Oh, I am brown,
And secondly, a warm blanket,
Despite and despite - exile and exile,
Still - all of it - resembled Tamar.
We are sorry, we are sorry - the one who was killed is upon you,
You are poor, poor - and you are considered - like a slaughtered sheep,
Despite and despite - scattered among her angers,
Still all of it - bruised and stuck to you,
And even higher - claims you,
And above it - unity with the one,
Despite and despite - occupied in exile,
Still all of it - learns to fear you,
Poor, poor - torn from my cheek,
Poor, poor - subject to beatings,
Despite and in spite of - subject to beatings,
Still the whole thing - endures your suffering,
Despite and despite - a stormy poverty,
Still all of it - Tuvia's redemption,
What are they called? Holy sheep,
How are the flags called? Jacob's communities,
What are they called? Registered in your name,
How do they cry out in supplication? They roar, "Hosanna, please!",
Who are they confident in? They rely on you,
Therefore, therefore we ask: Please save us,
