וועֶן מָשִׁיחַ וועֶט קוּמעֶן
When Mashiach comes,
וועֶט מעֶן זעֶהן דִי מַעֲלָה פוּן הוֹדָאָה אוּן תְּמִימוּת
we will appreciate the distinctive quality of hodaah [i.e., acknowledgment of G‑d and belief in Him] and temimus — artless sincerity,
וואָס אַלעֶ גְלוֹיבּעֶן בֶּאֱמוּנָה טְהוֹרָה אִין גָ-ט בָּרוּךְ הוּא אוּן אִין זַיין תּוֹרָה וּמִצְוֹת
the pure faith with which all [Jews] believe in G‑d, His Torah, and His mitzvos.
תַּלְמוּד — פאַרְשׁטאַנד — אִיז דעֶר גְרעֶסטעֶר פאַרְשׁטאַנד האָט אַ גְרעֶנִיץ
When it comes to study, even the highest levels of understanding have their limits.
אָבּעֶר הוֹדָאָה — גְלוֹיבּעֶן — גְלוֹיבּעֶן אִיז אַ געֶפִיהל אָהן אַ גְרעֶנִיץ
Hodaah, by contrast, is a feeling that has no boundaries.
מֶלֶךְ הַמָּשִׁיחַ וועֶט געֶבּעֶן צוּ פאַרְשׁטעֶהן דעֶם מַעֲשֶׂה גָּדוֹל
The King Mashiach will endow us with an understanding of the superior worth, as expressed in action,
פוּן דעֶר תְּמִימוּת — האַרְצִיגעֶר עֶרעֶנְסטעֶר עֲבוֹדָה
of sincere, heartfelt, earnest Divine service.
