Cuando el rey Nimrod

When King Nimrod

When King Nimrod went out to the field
He looked at the sky and the stars
He saw a holy light in the Jewish quarter
From which Abraham our father would be born

Abraham our father, beloved father
Blessed father, light of Israel

Then he commanded the midwives
That every pregnant woman should give birth
And if she did not give birth immediately, she should be killed
For Abraham our father would be born

Abraham our father, beloved father
Blessed father, light of Israel

Terah's wife became pregnant
And day by day he asked her:
Why is your face changed?
She already knew the good she had

Abraham our father, beloved father
Blessed father, light of Israel

After nine months she wanted to give birth
She was walking through fields and vineyards
She did not reveal it to her husband
She found a cave, there she would give birth

Abraham our father, beloved father
Blessed father, light of Israel

Let us now greet the godfather and also the mohel
That through their merit the redeemer will come to us
And mercy to all Israel
Certainly we will praise the True One

Abraham our father, beloved father
Blessed father, light of Israel

At the binding, the newborn spoke:
Comfort my mother, from the cave
I already found who will bless me
An angel from heaven will accompany me
Because I am a servant of the blessed God

Abraham our father, beloved father
Blessed father, light of Israel
