Chiribim Chiribom

English · Walter J. Kin (RIGLI)

Chiribim, chiribom
Chiribim, chiribom
Yesterday within our village I heard a joyful song
Sparrows on the branches, pigeons on the roofs sing along
Mama makes a soup with noodles and dumplings with leek
Holiday world is so bright, the dreidel spins all week
There once was a wise old rebbe praying every single day
He told us he and heaven made a pact along the way
There is a town called Chelm where day and night the fools all play
All the fools they sing and dance and laugh at their foolish ways
Chiribim, chiribom
Chiribim, chiribom
