SHIR HARA'ASHAN

SHIR HARAASHAN 

Mi bara’ash, mi bara’am,
Anochi hara’ashan!
Sipuri sh’ma’tem kvar pa’am,
Zeh sipur yashan noshan!
Rash rash, rash rash rash,
Zeh sipur yashan noshan!

Bam’gillah lechu tikra’u,
Zeh sipur yafeh vetov.
Va’ani, im ach tishma’u,
Esaper rak et hasof!
Rash rash, rash rash rash,
Esaper rak et hasof!

Sof sipur – Haman einenu,
Sha’alu ‘anaf uvad.
Ach nish’ar lezecher menu
Rak oznei Haman bilvad!
Rash rash, rash rash rash,
Rak oznei Haman bilvad!

SONG OF THE RATTLE(R)

THE SONG OF THE GRAGGER 

Who by noise, who by thunder,
Here am I, the noisemaker!
My story you have heard before,
An ancient tale of yester yore!
Rish, rash, rish, rish rash,
An ancient tale of yester yore!

Go and in the Scroll do read,
A lovely tale of good, indeed.
While I, if you’ll just attend,
Will tell the story from the end!
Rish, rash, rish, rish rash,
Will tell the story from the end!

The story’s end is Haman’s defeat,
Go ask the branch and leaf.
Yet a reminder do we retain:
The ear-shaped hamantaschen that bear his name!
Rish, rash, rish, rish rash,
The ear-shaped hamantaschen that bear his name!
