Israel Palestine War

"Chad Gadia" is an ancient poem in Aramaic sang in the Jewish passover. It talks about the cycle of butchering and burning- the singer hava alberstein added her own words asking how do we come out of the cycle?

Lyrics:

my father bought it for just two coins.

The lamb! The lamb! My father bought it for just two coins.

Along came the cat and ate up the lamb.

The dog choked the cat that ate the lamb,

that my father bought, for just two coins.

The lamb! The lamb!

Along came the stick, to beat the dog, that choked the cat,

that ate the lamb that my father bought.

That he bought, for just two coins.

The lamb! The lamb!

Then came a fire and burnt the stick, that beat the dog,

that choked the cat, that ate the lamb,

that my father bought, for just two coins.

The lamb! The lamb!

Then water came and quenched the fire,

that burn the stick, that beat the dog,

that choked the cat, that eat the lamb,

that my father bought for just two coins.

The lamb! The lamb!

Then came an Ox and drank the water,

that quenched the fire, that burn the stick,

that beat the dog, that choked the cat, that eat the lamb,

that my father bought for just two coins.

The lamb! The lamb!

Along came a butcher and killed the Ox,

that drank the water, that quenched the fire,

that burn the stick, that beat the dog,

that choked the cat, that ate the lamb,

that my father bought for just two coins.

The lamb! The lamb!

Then came the Angel of Death
and slew the butcher, who killed the Ox,

that drank the water, that quenched the fire,

that burnt the stick, that beat the dog,

that choked the cat, that ate the lamb,

that my father bought for just two coins.

The lamb! The lamb!




Why do you sing, little lamb?

Spring isn't yet here and Passover neither.

Have you changed?

I have changed this year.

And every evening, like each evening,

I have only asked four questions.

But tonight, I have thought of another question.

How long will this circle of horror last?

Of persecutor and persecuted,

of executioner and victim.

When will this madness end?

What has changed this year?

This year, i have changed.

I was a meek lamb.

I have become a tiger and a wild wolf.

I was a dove, a gazelle.

Today, i don't know who i am.

My father bought it for just two coins.

The lamb! The lamb!

Our father bought it for just two coins.

And everything is starting again!
