Dos Kelbl (Donaj Donaj)

Versão original de Aaron Zeitlin e Shalom Secundo.


Oyfn forl ligt a kelbl,
ligt gebunden mit a shtrik.
Hoykh im himl fligt a foygl,
fligt un dreyt zikh hin un tsrik.

Lakht der vind in korn,
lakht un lakht un lakht.
Lakht er op a tog an gantsn,
un a halbe nakht.

Donaj Donaj Donaj.....

Shrayt dos kelbl zogt der poyer.
Ver she heyst dikh sayn a kalb ?
Volst gekent dokh sayn a foygl,
volzt gekent dokh zayn a shvalb.

Lakht der vind in korn,
lakht un lakht un lakht.
Lakht er op a tog an gantsn,
un a halbe nakht.

Donaj Donaj Donaj.....

Bidne kelblekh tut men binden,
un men shlept zey un men shekht.
Ver z hot fligl, fligt aroyf tsu
i bay keynem nisht keyn knekht.

Lakht der vind in korn,
lakht un lakht un lakht.
Lakht er op a tog an gantsn,
un a halbe nakht.

Donaj Donaj Donaj.....

Little Boxes

de Malvina Reynolds (1962)

Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky tacky,
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes all the same.
There's a pink one and a green one
And a blue one and a yellow one,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.

And the people in the houses
All went to the university,
Where they were put in boxes
And they came out all the same,
And there's doctors and lawyers,
And business executives,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.

And they all play on the golf course
And drink their martinis dry,
And they all have pretty children
And the children go to school,
And the children go to summer camp
And then to the university,
Where they are put in boxes
And they come out all the same.

And the boys go into business
And marry and raise a family
In boxes made of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
There's a pink one and a green one
And a blue one and a yellow one,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
