SHIR HAMASECHOT

Zakan aroch li ad birkayim,
Safam aroch li amatayim.

Hayesh tzohelet us’meichah,
Kemoni massechah – ha ha?
Hayesh tzohelet us’meichah,
Kemoni massechah?

Karnayim li karnei hatayish,
Sheinayim li sheinei halayish.

Hayesh tzohelet us’meichah…

Mil’fanai tzamah im seret,
Mei’achorai zanav tif’eret.

Hayesh tzohelet us’meichah…

THE SONG OF MASKS

My beard’s so long, my knees it touches,
My moustache is also long enough.

Is there anyone as excited and happy
As I, the masked disguise – tra la?
Is there anyone as excited and happy
As I, the masked disguise?

My horns are like a goat’s,
My teeth are like a lion’s.

Is there anyone as excited and happy…

In front my hair’s in braid with ribbon,
Behind me trails a tail magnificent.

Is there anyone as excited and happy…
