CHIRIBIM

 

Ksheharabi sof kol sof hechlit isha lakachat

Hit'asfu hachasidim lir'ot et hamutzlachat

Et harabi sha'alu ma nedunya titen la

Az hashiv lahem harav eten la ma she'en la

 

Chiribim chiribom

Chiribim bom bom bom

Bom bo bom

Chiribim chiribom

Chiribim bom bom bom

Bom bo bom

 

Hu yom yom nasa tfila la'el shebashamyim

Hi yom yom bishla lo lokshen vetafra garbayim

Layla layla et hatris lisgor haya ozer la

Vesham'u hachasidim ketzad hu mezamer la

 

Chiribim...

 

Kach avru mispar shanim nas'u kulam kapayim

Ho rabenu matai sof sof nishte itcha lechayim

Vedavka lasimcha hazot hizmin harav otanu

Umibno asher nolad mila achat shamanu

 

Chiribim....

When the Rabbi finally decided to take a wife

The Chasidim gathered to see the fortunate one

They asked the Rabbi what dowry will you give her

And the Rabbi answered I will give her what she hasn't got yet

Chiribim chiribom

Chiribim bom bom bom

Bom bo bom

Chiribim chiribom

Chiribim bom bom bom

Bom bo bom

 

Every day he prayed to God above

Every day she cocked him noddles and sewed his socks

Every night he helped her close the shutters

And the Chasidim heard how he sings for her -

Chiribim chiribom........

 

A few years passed and they all raised their hands

Well Rabbi when will we drink to life

To this celebration the Rabbi invited us

And from his son when he was born we heard one word -

Chiribim chiribom
