    (Free Translation)
    On Judah’s hills a shepherd plays his soft melody
    The soft morning notes tell oft heard tales of Judea’s fate
    A man there was so strong and bold
    With a song on his lips went forth for Israel in days of yore.
    Long years he defied our enemies
    His people’s freedom he defended and battling met his end.
