[shirona <shirona...>]

Here are some traditionals:

Chag Purim
Ani Purim (translation will follow)
Shoshanat Ya'akov
Leitzan Katan
Lakova Sheli (with hand motions and word-dropping)
Utzu Eitza (a Chasiddic "tongue twister")
Shir Hamasecha (the mask song, also with hand/body)
Achat, shtayim shalosh (still working on a translation)


Ani Purim. Translation by Shirona

A-ni  Pu-rim, a-ni  Pu-rim
Sa-me-ach  um-va-de-ach
Ha-lo  rak  pa-am  ba-sha-na
A-vo  le-hit-a-re-ach

La, la, la, la,la   x4

I am Purim, I am Purim
I'm fun and full of cheer
I come to be with you my friends -
Only once a year!

La la.

Hooray Purim, gee whiz Purim -
Oh tell me, won't you please?
Why can't you stick around some more -
How 'bout twice a week?

La la..
