Chad Gadya

חַד גַּדְיָא, חַד גַּדְיָא

דְזַבִּין אַבָּא בִּתְרֵי זוּזֵי

חַד גַּדְיָא, חַד גַּדְיָא

Chad gadya, chad gadya

Dizabin abah bitrei zuzei

Chad gadya, chad gadya.

My father brought a goat for two zuzim.

Chad gadya, chad gadya.

Then came a cat came and ate the goat,

My father bought for two zuzim.

Chad gadya, chad gadya.

Then came a dog and bit the cat

That ate the goat,

My father bought for two zuzim.

Chad gadya, chad gadya.

Then came a stick and beat the dog

That bit the cat that ate the goat,

My father bought for two zuzim.

Chad gadya, chad gadya.

Then came a fire and burned the stick

That beat the dog that bit the cat

That ate the goat,

My father bought for two zuzim.

Chad gadya, chad gadya.

Then came some water and quenched the

Fire that burned the stick

That beat the dog that bit the cat

That ate the goat,

My father bought for two zuzim.

Chad gadya, chad gadya.

Then came an ox and drank the water

That quenched the fire

That burned the stick that beat the dog That bit the cat that ate the goat,

My father bought for two zuzim.

Chad gadya, chad gadya.

Then came a butcher and killed the ox,

That drank the water

That quenched the fire

That burned the stick that beat the dog That bit the cat that ate the goat,

My father bought for two zuzim.

Chad gadya, chad gadya.

Then the angel of death came and slew

The butcher who killed the ox,

That drank the water

That quenched the fire

That burned the stick that beat the dog That bit the cat that ate the goat,

My father bought for two zuzim.

Chad gadya, chad gadya.

Then came HaKadosh Barechu and

Smote the angle of death who slew

The butcher who killed the ox,

That drank the water

That quenched the fire

That burned the stick that beat the dog That bit the cat that ate the goat,

My father bought for two zuzim.

Chad gadya, chad gadya.

Chad gadya, chad gadya.
