[HANASHIR:5592] Re: Children's Songs for Pesach

[Greg <wehner5...>]

Hi!  I only know the first song...it is by Ariella Savir out of Israel.  Not 
written in manuscript due to her blindness, but everything is on tape!

Good luck!

  Subject: [HANASHIR:5579] Children's Songs for Pesach


  Dear Chevre,
   
  A teacher in our area (Southern New Jersey) just returned from Israel having 
learned two new children's songs for Pesach. She performed them at a workshop 
for classroom teachers in the community, and gave out songsheets with the words 
in Hebrew, transliteration, and translation. I'd like to find out who composed 
them. Does anyone recognize the 2 songs below, or does anyone have a suggestion 
how to find out (a) who wrote them, and (b) if musical notation is available?

  Avadim hayinu l'faro b' mitzrayim
  U-vaninu piramidot b'zei'at apayim
  Leveinah, leveinah,
  Od shanah, v'od shanah
  Leveinah, leveinah,
  Kacha zeh haya.

  Loosh, loosh, loosh,
  Lahsh, lahsh, lahsh, 
  Kemach v'gam mayim
  Loosh, loosh, loosh,
  Lahsh, lahsh, lahsh,
  Batzek bayadayim.
  Yeladim v'yeladot
  Ofim matzot, ofim matzot
  Ha-batzek m'rad'dim
  U-matzot kulam ofim.


  Thanks for your help.
