Hora at the Tables

Текст песни

[Intro] (Clarinets laughing, violins weeping, a fast tambourine shake) Yai-dai-dai, dai-dai-dai-dai! [Verse 1] The lanterns are glowing, the tables are set A night that the village will never forget The challah is braided, the wine has been poured Step into the circle and lift up your sword! The bubbe is dancing, she’s waving her shawl The sweetest simcha in the town for us all! [Chorus] Oh, spin the circle, leap to the sky! Yai-dai-dai-dai, let the fiddle fly! The bride and the groom, up on their chairs Floating like angels, high in the air! Mazel tov! Mazel tov! Shout it out loud! The happiest guests, the proudest crowd! [Verse 2] The clarinet wails like a laugh and a cry Under the chuppah, under the sky A glass has been shattered, a promise is made Now dance to the tune that the klezmorim played! We stomp on the floorboards, we shake the old floor When the music is playing, nobody is poor! [Chorus] Oh, spin the circle, leap to the sky! Yai-dai-dai-dai, let the fiddle fly! The bride and the groom, up on their chairs Floating like angels, high in the air! Mazel tov! Mazel tov! Shout it out loud! The happiest guests, the proudest crowd! [Outro] Faster and faster, the dance-tempo grows! Where the clarinet leads, everyone goes! Yai-dai-dai-dai! Mazel Tov! (Big final crash)
