Mashiach Hazaken

The Old Messiah
In God's name lives the old messiah,
Alone at home without a wife or son.
He gathered silver for seventy years,
In order to buy a wife for his wedding.
How many dinars did he collect?
No one knows.
Maybe three dinars?
Maybe a hundred mouths.
Maybe thirty dinars?
Maybe double.
Maybe three hundred dinars?
Let's drink to life!
Good for the messiah, good - hooray!
But he won't bring him good luck - hooray!
In God's name lives the old messiah,
In his old age he went to get married.
The simple woman he bought with all his money,
Children were born, they all carried his name.
How many children did he have?
Seven, God willing.
If he only had six,
Praise God.
Maybe only five,
Strength is already gone.
If God wants, he will give him one.
Good for the messiah...
In God's name lives the old messiah,
Day and night he prayed for a son.
In God's name, not even one believed,
For fate was angry seven times.
Who was the first born?
The daughter Jamila.
And who was born second?
The daughter Jalila.
And who was born third?
The daughter Kamila.
And who was born last?
Tzila and Gila.
No man will carry his name - hooray!
Until the messiah comes, he will arrive - hooray!
