>Hi, uncharacteristically, I'm looking for some words
>to songs in Hebrew and one in Yiddsh. A friend here in
>MAdrid was asked to do a concert, and invited me to
>join her, for a small town which has just discovered
>the remains of a medieval synagogue and also been
>declared "Mudejar capital of Castilla" (quite a
>distinction, huh? ) They want us to do a "Mudejar
>Evening" concert.... Anyway, as they want Hebrew more
>than Judeo-Spanish and my travelling word-book
>(written out by hand though everyone tells me to do it
>on computer - it's my last
>written-tradition-holdout....) doesn't contain much in
>Hebrew, I've been combing through my memory. Many old
>Eretz songs I learned as a kid in summer camp are
>pretty much engraved on my inner hard disk, as it
>were, but does anyone have the full words for "Et
>dodim kala" and
>"El ginat egoz"? Also, some words were cut off a
>photocopy I had brought along of a song to memorize
>for my sister's wedding in the summer, "Shpilt zey
>klezmer", which appears on an old recording of Nama
>with Pearl Rottenberg singing. I´m missing the last
>words in the line "freyt zikh kinder, freyt zikh
>mit....???"  Here in Spain I can find words to
>Sephardic ballads easily but not for these.... Anyway,
>I'm at a downtown internet cafe in MAdrid, it's
>pouring rain, and I'm off to have lunch with the -
>ahem! Canadian ambassador.... Cheers, Judith
