SONG FOR PURIM
On this night of Purim,
the bakers do not sleep,
they are making cakes,
for the brides.
Long live you, and me,
long live all the Jews;
long live queen Esther,
who gave us so much pleasure.
Haman before dying,
called for his family members, around his bed,
a day before Purim.
Long...
Be quiet, you mad Zeres,
it is not your time to talk;
the hanging rope is for you
to be used on Purim.
Long...
And your son Porata,
sells bargain clothes,
thus do not talk to anyone
on this day of Purim.
Long...
Dalfon, your second son, such your life be matched,
miserable you'll leave this world, on the day of Purim.
Long...
And Shimshi the scribe, was killing himself, not leaving a bone intact, on the day of Purim.
Long...
Behold verybody; eat fish, fried, baked and grilled,
with a lot of salt, to have us want drink more.
Long...
And the grooms send to the brides,
roses and cakes,
and jewels and more, binding the brides in return.
Long...
COPLAS DE PURIM
Esta noche de Purim
No duermen los ḥalwiyim
haziendo alḥalwinadas
para las despozzadas.
Refrán
Vivas tu y Viva Yo
Vivan todos los judiós
Viva la reina Ister
que tanto plazer mos dio.
Haman antes que muriera
llamo a su parentela
los puzzo a su cabecera
un día antes de Purim.
Vivas tu...
Calla tu Zeres la loca,
que a ti hablar no te toca,
que por ti hizieron la horca
y la estranó en Purim.
Vivas tu...
Y tu hiĵo Porata
vende la ropa barata
y no hables con quien tratas
en el día de Purim.
Vivas tu...
Dalfon tu hiĵo segundo ansí tengas preto mundo tuerto te vayas del mundo en el día de Purim.
Vivas tu...
Y Shimshi el escribano
se mataba con sus manos,
no deshaba hueso sano
en el día de Purim.
Vivas tu...
Miren de comer pescado
frito cocho y assado
y que no manque salado
porque haze bien beber.
Vivas tu...
Y los novios a las novias
envien dulces y rozas
y joyas y algunas cozzas
que les queden a deber....
Vivas tu...
