The title of the song itself translates to "Freedom Shall Sing," and the first line, "D'ror yikra," directly translates to "Freedom will call out." The song describes a father singing the praises of his daughter, imagining her as a symbol of the redemption that he hopes for.

The next line, "V'yin-tzar-chem k'mo vavat," refers to the father's hope that his children will be numerous and difficult to count, like a swarm of locusts.
