IMA VEDANI


 

Ima v'Dani halchu layam
Peta pagshu b'livyatan.
Dani kafatz bal'shono
Teichef nivlah
B'toch bitno.

Babeten pagash navi zaken,
Politikai v'chayat misken.
"Mi acharon?" sha'al otam.
"Zeh sheh-tzochek"
Anu sh'loshtam.

El hashamayim hadag richek
Hachevre v'Dani yoshvim b'kef.
Peta he'iru hash'latim:
Lo l'ashen, anu nochatim.

Al anan lavan kasid
B'racut otam hinchit.
Mei hadag yatzu kulam,
Lo t'nachshu
Ma ra'u mulam.

Melech kachol al kisei zahav,
Shnei m'shartim im sakin bagav.
Kelev yarok b'chatzo ishah
V'kof
Sheh-roked lo cha cha cha.

"Eifo anachnu?" Dani chakar,
"Karov l'vadai" hamelech amar.
"V'im t'vakshu latzeit chayim,
Sapru li davar sheh-ein yodim."

Hitlakdu hachaveirim,
Bein atzmam mitya'atzim
Dani hitzia et t'shuvato
V'az amar l'rom'muto.

"Yeish paroshim sheh-yodim lashir,
V'yeish gamadim
Sheh-holchim al kir.
V'yeish aliyot bay'ridah"
Ach et kol zot hamelech kvar yadah.

Hamelech shalaf kartis adom,
Shnei m'shartim avru l'dom.
Pil mutznach
Pizer ashan
V'nasu hachevre al nafsham.

Ratzu atzu arbatam
L'kivun halivyatan.
Hanavi v'hachayat,
Politikai v'yeled kat.

Ruach yamit yashva k'rira
Ima mudeget hitorerah.
Histoveva ra'ata mismol
Dani boneh armon bachol.

MOM & DANNY


Mom and Danny went to the sea
All of a sudden they met a whale.
Danny jumped on its tongue
He was immediately swallowed
Into its stomach.

In its stomach he met an old prophet,
A politician and a poor tailor.
"Who is last?" he asked them,
"The one who laughs"
The three responded.

The fish drifted toward the sky
The group and Danny sit enjoyably.
All of a sudden the signs were lit:
No smoking please, we're landing.

On a whitewashed cloud
It softly landed them.
They all exited the fish,
You won't guess
What they saw in front of them.

A blue king on a gold chair,
Two servants with a knife on their back,
A green half dog/half woman,
And a monkey
Who is dancing the cha cha cha.

"Where are we" Danny inquired,
"Probably close" said the king,
"And if you request to leave alive,
Tell me something that nobody knows."

The friends were smart,
They consulted each other.
Danny suggested his response
And then said to His Majesty:

"There are fleas that know how to sing,
And there are midgets
That walk on the wall,
And there are ups in down,"
But the king already knew all of this.

The king pulled out a red ticket,
Two servants quietly moved away.
An elephant parachuted down
Scattering smoke
And the group ran for their lives.

The four of them ran quickly
Toward the whale,
The prophet and the tailor,
The politician and the young boy.

A cool ocean breeze blew
Mom was worried and woke up.
She turned around and saw to her left
Danny building a sand castle.
