Перевод:Translation:
Давайте, детки, запоемCome, children—let us raise our voices,
Все вместе песенку,Let us entwine a song in gentle chorus,
Веселенький мотивчикA melody as sprightly as a lark at dawn,
С веселыми словами.With words that dance like sunlight on the water.
Нам мама варит суп с лапшой,Mother conjures for us a steaming broth with noodles,
Клёцками и кашу…Pearled with dumplings, and the hush of porridge…
Придет праздник Пурим,Soon, Purim will sweep in on bright-winged laughter,
Будем мы крутить волчкиWe shall set our spinning tops—planets whirled by joy,
Чирибим, чирибом…Chiribim, chiribom…
Как-то раз наш ребе шел по дороге.Once, our Rebbe strode the winding road alone.
Вдруг откуда ни возьмисьSuddenly, from nowhere,
Пошел сильный дождик.A rain descended—wild, relentless, drumming.
Кричит наш ребе туче:The Rebbe called out, hailing the sullen cloud:
«Прекрати лить воду!»“Cease your pouring, let your rivers rest!”
Все хасиды вышли сухими-All the Hasidim emerged as dry as parchment—
Только-Only—
Ребе полностью промокThe Rebbe stood, his robes a sodden tapestry.
Чирибим, чирибом…Chiribim, chiribom…
Говорят в местечке Хелем,They say in the town of Chelm,
Живут только дураки.Only fools abide there, weaving folly’s thread.
Если были бы мы умны,Had we been wise,
Были бы у нас красивые лица.Would we wear such radiant faces?
Они хохочут день и ночь,They laugh from dawn to dusk, from dusk to dawn,
И плакать не желают.And tears refuse to visit their bright eyes.
Ну, скажи еще кто глуп,So tell me—who among us is truly foolish,
А кто умен!And who is wise?
Чирибим, чирибомChiribim, chiribom
