EN DEN DINO
EENIE MEENIE MINEY MO

 

Bo'u nesachek velo lehidachek
velo lehidachef,
ki yesh makom po lekulanu.
Mi yihye rishon?
Hizmin po kvar Amnon.
Umi yihye sheni?
Ani metsia' en-den-dino.

(chorus)
En-den-dino, sof al hakatino,
sof al hakati kato,
elik belik bom.

Dani mebalef, ani lo mishtatef.
Veruti mastira, ani metsia' she'od pa'am,
od hapa'am bum, shuv lo yatsa li klum.
Tamid ani acharon, tamid ani omed rishon.

(chorus)

Lo milifnei, gam lo me'achorei,
velo mishnei tsdaday,
umi shelo yishma omed,
Gili al tivrach ve'Uri al tismach.
Ra'iti et kulchem, hine higia' ba torchem.

(chorus)

En-den-dino shuv,
tir'u ze lo chashuv,
tamid bein ko vacho mi shenish'ar az ba toro,
Uri shuv yotse veDani lo rotseh.
Shavru et hakelim velo mesachakim!

(chorus)
Let's go and play, don't force your way in
and don't push,
because there's room for all of us.
Who'll be first?
Amnon already reserved his place.
And who'll be second?
I suggest "en-den-dino."

(chorus)
En-den-dino, sof al hakatino,
sof al hakati kato,
elik belik bom.

Dani's bluffing, I won't take part.
And Ruti's in the way, I suggest we do it again,
do it again "bum," but it never helps me.
I'm always last, I'm always first in line.

(chorus)

Not in front, also not behind,
and not on either side,
and whoever doesn't hear stands up,
Gili don't run away, and Uri don't smile.
I saw you all, here it is, here's your turn.

(chorus)

"En-den-dino,"
look, it's not important,
no matter what whoever's left it comes his turn,
Uri left again and Dani doesn't want to.
We broke the dishes and we won't play!

(chorus)
