Sapari tomo temimo sapari nogil batemo, Sapari nogil batemo.

Onato yeno sa'adio li bafalterin aliyo, li bafalterin aliyo.
Va'ani toh lev annyo bayofi e'to me'ili, bayofi e'to me'ili.
Sapari , Sapari , Sapari tomo temimo
Sapari nogil batemo, sapari nogil batemo
It soared from the ark the dove within me
It sings forever, it flies free.
I call to thee my torch in darkness, thou art born.
Ornaments of gold shine so bright
You are the way, you are the light
I dwell in this my shelter and thy birth do I foresee.

(The poet) Tell me, pure and perfect one,
tell me so that we may rejoice here in taima -
O wise princess, tell me where do you make your home?
(The Dove) Saadiah, there is a high chamber reserved for me in the palace.
But though I could robe myself in beauty my heart is full of lamentation
It soared from the ark the dove within me
It sings forever, it flies free
I call to thee my torch in darkness, thou art born
Ornaments of gold shine so bright
You are the way, you are the light
I dwell in this my shelter and thy birth do I foresee
