Pesah ala mano LADINO LYRICS  (BY FLORY JAGODA)

Purim, Purim, Purim lano,

Pesah, Pesah ala mano;

Las matsas si stan faziendo,

Los japrakis si stan koziendo.

Aman (4x)

Il Diyo Bendicho mos da mazal (repeat)

Purim, Purim, Purim lano,

Pesah, Pesah ala mano;

La Nona sta diziendo a los nyetos,

Alimpiya il puelvo, kantones i loz techos.

Aman…

Purim, Purim, Purim lano,

Pesah, Pesah ala mano;

Il Sinyor Rubi disho a las tiyas

No kumer il pan ocho diyas. Aman…

ENGLISH

Purim, Purim, Purim is over,

Passover is at hand;

Matzot are being made,

The stuffed grape leaves are being baked.

Amen (4x)

Almighty God give us good fortune.

Purim, Purim, Purim is over,

Passover is at hand;

The grandmother is telling the grandchildren,

Clean the dust, the corners and ceilings.

Aman…

Purim, Purim, Purim is over,

Passover is at hand;

The Rabbi tells the aunties

Not to eat bread for eight days.

Aman…

 

Please don't talk about the massacre at the end of book.
