Chad Gadya
Our father bought for two zuzim
one kid, one kid
Our father bought a kid for two zuzim
So the legend says
The cat came and preyed on the kid
A little kid, a white kid
The dog came and bit the cat
that preyed on the kid
that our father brought
Our father bought for two zuzim
one kid, one kid
Then a big stick appeared from somewhere
and beat the dog, who barked loudly
tha dog that bit the cat that preyed
on the kid that our father brought
Our father bought for two zuzim
one kid, one kid
And the fire came
and burned the stick
that beat the dog that walked around
that bit the cat
that ate the kid
that father brought
Our father bought for two zuzim
one kid, one kid
And the water came that quenched the fire
that burned the stick
that beat the dog that bit the cat
that ate the kid that father bought
Our father bought for two zuzim
one kid, one kid
And the ox came and drank the water
that had quenched the fire
that burned the stick
that beat the dog that bit the cat
that ate the kid that father brought
Our father bought for two zuzim
one kid, one kid
And the slaughterer came and slaughtered the ox
that had drunk the water
that had quenched the fire
that burned the stick
that beat the dog that bit the cat
that ate the kid that father brought
Then came the Angel of Death and killed the slaughterer
that had slaughtered the ox
that had drunk the water
that had quenched the fire
that burned the stick
that beat the dog that bit the cat
that ate the kid that father had brought
Our father bought for two zuzim
one kid, one kid
Why are you singing "Had Gadya" ?
Spring has not come yet, passover isn't here
what has changed for you ? what has changed ?
I myself have changed this year
And on all nights, on all nights
I have asked only four questions
Tonight I have another question:
How long will the cycle of horror last ?
Hunter and hunted, beater and beaten
When will this madness stop ?
And what has changed for you. what has changed ?
I myself have changed this year
I used to be a sheep and a calm kid
Today I am a leopard and a predator wolf
I've been a dove and I've been a deer
Today I don't know who I am
Our father bought for two zuzim
one kid, one kid
Our father bought a kid for two zuzim
And we're starting again from the beginning.....
