He who is above the Cherubim
Today appeared in Jerusalem
Riding on a colt in great glory
Surrounded by ranks of the angels.

Hosanna khen ni et chose
Fai pe epouro empe-Israel

On the way they spread garments
And from the trees they cut branches
Shouting song of joy and praise
Hosanna ep-sheeree en Daveed.

Today the sayings were fulfilled
From the prophecies and the proverbs
As Zechariah prophesied and said
A prophecy about Jesus Christ.

Branches of palm trees in their hands
And voices heard throughout the land

Olive and palm branches we bring
With unceasing voices we sing
