YESH YELED SHE'ABA SHELO

Yesh yeled she’aba shelo rofeh

Yesh yeladim she’aba shelahem ani
V’yesh yeladim sheham’karer shelahem tamid maleh

Yesh yeled she’aba shelo chayat
Beme’il shelo lo tir’u chorim
V’yesh yeladim she’aba shelahem sapar

Yesh yeladim she’aba shelahem nehag
(Al yad habait omed lahem otobus!)
V’yesh yeled she’aba shelo rosh ha’ir
Ve’hu medaber tamid benimus

Yesh yeladim she’aba shelahem chazak
(Harbeh yeladim omrim sh’ha’aba’im shelahem giborim)
Yesh yeladim im aba galak
V’yesh yeladim im aba’im dokrim

Yesh aba’im sh’holchim beshmonah le’avodah
Vebechamesh vechetzi chozrim
Yesh aba’im shebekoshi ro’im
Ve’aba sheli yoshev vekotev shirim

THERE IS A CHILD WHOSE FATHER

There’s a child whose father is a doctor
And there are children whose father is sick
There are children whose fathers are poor
And there are children whose fridge is always full

There is a child whose father is a taylor
And in his coat you will not see holes
And there are children whose father is a hairdresser
And they are always badly cut

There are children whose father is a driver
(Beside their house stands a bus!)
And there is a child whose father is mayor
And he always speaks politely

There are children whose father is strong
(Many children say that their fathers are heroes)
There are children with a smooth father
And there are children whose father who prick

There are fathers who go to work at eight
And at half past five return
There are fathers that are rarely seen
And my father sits and writes songs
