Standing so unsure there in the threshold,
Esther is faced with a decision,
A heavy cloud enveloping her very soul,
Her heart so heavy with a burden!

Oh how to choose between the blurry choices?
When a life’s at stake, surrounded by danger,
A part of her does shout “Just do all that you can,
Protect yourself now and forever!”

I would rather take the risk, protect my dignity,
And gain reward for eternity!

Chorus:
Oiy Biti Al Telchi Al Telchi,
Oh my daughter, remain here with me,
Stay within the fields of dignity,
Hold on tight to your nobility!

Esther chose to embrace what is real,
To go out like a Yid; to appear,
Like a princess, daughter of a King,
Holding tight to her nobility!

She starts her journey now to safety,
Small footsteps full of fear,
her heart is pounding,
When suddenly she passes soldiers on her way,
______________________

An invisble shield of strong protection,
Guided her to her destination,
Then she realizes with fright that on her neck thatday,
Was a Magen David necklace on display!

I would rather take the risk, protect my dignity,
And gain reward for eternity!

Chorus:
Oiy Biti Al Telchi Al Telchi,
It was because of her bravery,
Stayed within the fields of dignity,
She was rewarded for her nobility!

Esther chose to embrace what is real,
To go out like a Yid; to appear,
Like a princess, daughter of a King,
Holding tight to her nobility!
