Chi chi bunichi
See Lecture: Sephardic Food
Chichi bunichi | Chichi bunichi, |
Re di lanichi | Ring finger is King, |
Esti dimanda pan | This one asks for bread |
I esti dimanda kezu | This one asks for cheese |
I esti si nu ez bueno djidyo | And if this one is not a good Jewish boy |
Vamuz a yamar al Sinyor Rubi. | We'll go and call the Rabbi. |
Chichi bunichi | Chichi bunichi, |
Re di lanichi | Ring finger is King, |
Esti dizi dami un paketiko | This one says, "Give me a little package." |
La gayinika echo un goviziko | The little hen laid a little egg - |
Aki, aki, aki para aki | Here, here, here, up to here - |
A la bokita di mi ijika (ijiko). | Into the mouth of my little child. |
