CHIRIBIM


 

Ksheharabi sof kol sof hechlit isha lakachat
Hit'asfu hachasidim lir'ot et hamutzlachat
Et harabi sha'alu
"Mma nedunya titen la?"
Az hashiv lahem harav
"Eten la ma she'ein la"

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 cooked him noddles
and sewed his socks
Every night he helped her close the shutters
And the Chasidim heard
how he sings to 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...
