A Niggun - Performed by Magda Fishman

A NIGGUN - LYRICS

Iz a kabtsn a mol gevezn,
Flegt er nor mit got zikh krign.
Once upon a time there was a poor man who would only quarrel with G-d.

Vunder iber vunder hot mit im getrofn,
Ven er hot gezungen ot aza min nign:
Wonder of wonders were bestowed upon him when he sang such a melody.

Tshiri-bim, bam, bam.

Hot fun nign zikh vayn gegosn,
Hot er zup nokh geshlungen,
Wine flowed from the melody and he swallowed gulp after gulp.

Vunder iber vunder hot mit im getrofn,
Ven er got geungen, ot azoy gezungen;
Wonder of wonders were bestowed upon him when he sang such a melody.

Tshiri-bim, bam, bam.

Zingt der yid un s'gist zikh mesikes,
Iz er azkh fun freyd geshprungen,
The Jew sings and bliss pours forth and he leaps for joy.

Vunder iber vunder hot mit im getrofn,
Ven er hot gezungen, ot azoy gezungen:
Wonder of wonders were bestowed upon him when he sang such a melody.

Tshiri-bim, bam, bam.
