English Translation Of GELT- Track 5 Of Lipa B'derech
[Lipa Enters]
A Yid: Tell me, you're coming for money? Lipa: Do i owe you money? Ah, now again money nuu (all everybody talks about is money).
Poor, rich - strong and weak,
It's all about the same thing,
Whoever has enough of it has everyone close to him,
Relatives today - tomorrow enemies,
The day after tomorrow friends again,
If you earn Lira (Italy), Frank (France), Shekel (Israel), Dollar, Pound (Great Britain),
We plow, plant - we borrow, we lend,
We put in, we squeeze and twist (negotiate),
Everybody has the same goal to earn money easily,
We're flying in the way (a hustle and bustle) - weeks and days,
After the money such a going (everyone's going after it),
Another Dollar, Frank, and Pound,
It can even be a Shekel,
Trying to be powerful - his word everyone likes,
Whoever has the hundred has the say,
When it comes to money,
A poor house - puts on a rich face,
Every character for himself he's talented,
When it comes to money,
Instead of worrying - find where to borrow,
When it comes to paying - Where's the money(Kesef M'nalan),
The checks bounce - You run to Gemachs (loan funds),
There is no guarantor/co-signer - he looks for a relative,
From everywhere (he's looking) - who pays until then,
(Oh) How long the year is - I am in trouble,
I disconnect my phone - and knock it down,
Can't pay - Where's the money (gonna come from),
In Shul we collect money,
In the street we talk about money,
I come home - what do they like,
They're begging again for money,
Honor comes with money - wisdom comes with money,
There is a joke - A hater of money (which is one of the requirements to be a Jewish judge so as not to be biased by money),
You can hire today for (enough) money,
The heart is ripped apart (from aggravation) - the partner is pressuring,
From money there becomes such a conflict,
From every cause (a cause, to give money to) he runs away,
Like from a detrimental situation,
The business is booming - he doesn't get tired,
The more he has his head is flying,
Like it says: A increase in property also increases worry (this is stated in Pirkei Avos),
Poor, rich - strong and weak,
It's all about the same thing,
Whoever has enough of it has everyone close to him,
Relatives today - tomorrow enemies,
The day after tomorrow friends again,
If you earn Lira, Frank, Shekel, Dollar, Pounds,
Life goes by fast,
Only worries come from money,
Life costs - as much as you have,
For everything you need more and more money,
What do we have from the money - from Gashmius (physicality) we indulge,
It looks good - you don't take it with you (to the next world),
Nothing is left from money,
You over exert yourself - you over work yourself,
For all kinds (of things) - you don't need necessarily need the green (money),
The younger years - to save money,
He's already old - still he's hiding money,
Bitter - his hand is already shaking,
He is hardly in his right mind - the money will not run away,
It will stay by him (even in such a situation he makes sure to hold onto the money) - He writes checks,
An old nervous (one) - he's stingy to spend,
In Shul we collect money,
In the street we talk about money,
I come home - what do they like,
They're begging again for more money,
Honor comes with money, money, - wisdom comes with money,
It looks good - You don't take it with you (to the next world),
Nothing is left from money,
A little Kosher money - with Mitzvahs in the world,
It looks good - This we do take along,
It stays in the other world,
Everybody likes it,
When you do good with the money,
I'm asking you,
Nu, tell me already,
Where can I get a few dollars?
Huh? Let go already of the money!
A Yid: Tell me, you're coming for money? Lipa: Do i owe you money? Ah, now again money nuu (all everybody talks about is money).

English Translation Of Moshe Rabenu- Track 3 Of Mona 4
In the midst of alot of hard work, he decided, Pharaoh the wicked,
We have to sink the Jews, and drown them, in the river,
Because of a prophecy from the stars,
A child must be born,
He will lead us, show us, and redeem us Yiden,
From this suffering
There was a child that was very guarded, he was hidden in a box,
That was smeared with tar and lime,
So that he shouldn't get wet and freeze from the cold
When Pharaoh's Basya (Pharaoh's daughter) wants to go swimming,
Her hands became very long, she didn't have to strain herself,
To draw him in, to light up the world,
And from the small box- it shown forth a light, fear (of heaven), success, (and) Torah,
That was never seen before,
The star gazers kept on saying, this small, fine, nice, pure (one), will light up all of Yisrael
The Egyptians with their weapons, chased after the Yiden, until they found
Moshe Rabenu,
He woke up the Yiden, "You're not allowed to be scared", a snake becomes a stick,
Shows Moshe Rabenu
-And they had faith in Hashem and in Moshe, His servant
Pharaoh wants to destroy the Yiden, but he still can't get rid of them,
We still have a Father, Who sends
Moshe Rabenu,
Such screams, Pharaoh with the plagues,
Oh Yiden how wonderful it is, through
Moshe Rabenu
-And they had faith in Hashem and in Moshe, His servant
Our Rebi, our sheperd, you have to come back, the sheep herder,
Where are you already, in any moment he will come (Moshe Rabenu will lead us once again),
You will instill in us Emuna (Total belief in Hashem),
Just like it was by the splitting of the Yam Suf (the sea of reeds),
We saw your figure, we sang song (shira), because He (Hashem) is elevated above the arrogant (Ki Goi Goiu)
This is my God and I will beautify Him (Words from Az Yashir),
Standing in rows, and their screaming(of the Egyptians drowning in the sea),
Just like then, also now- Like new,
The God of my father, and I will exalt Him (Words from Az Yashir- Connected to the words above),
A light, fear, Torah, success,
Just like then by Mount Sinai
We all have the ability to see the sounds (The sounds at Mount Sinai were actually miraculously SEEN),
Yinderlach, how wonderful it is with
Moshe Rabenu,
A righteous preparation, a higher intention,
The Torah the gift,
Through Moshe Rabenu
-And they had faith in Hashem and in Moshe, His servant
We are constantly waiting,
Unfortunately a thousand years,
Where is the Cheder (Yeshiva) already,
Of Moshe Rabenu,
There's no more excuses, they've been taken away,
Moshe is a faithful servant, Where is Moshe Rabenu
-And they had faith in Hashem and in Moshe, His servant
Very soon we will live to see,
A light, Torah, no more fear,
From this yoke of exile,
And Moshe will give us a Shiur (Torah Lecture),
Torah, (There will be) success,
Also the Creator will learn the Shiur hour after hour,
No one will be unlearned,
Shining explanations (In Torah), The greatest Chidushim (New insights),
Says Moshe Rabenu,
And all those who toil,
In Gemara (Talmud), Shulchan Aruch (Law),
Will come and be blessed,
Blessed by Moshe Rabenu
-And they had faith in Hashem and in Moshe, His servant
How beautiful this is,
Our future, all one Chaseedus,
One Rebbe, Our Rebbe,
(Fearin Tish) Leading us with joy,
The Divine Presence at the head of the table,
Everyone with Emuna,
Believing in Moshe Rabenu
-And they had faith in Hashem and in Moshe, His servant
Moooshhee!!!!!! Moooshhee!!!!!!
Moshe rejoiced in the gift of his portion: that You called him a trusted servant. A crown of brilliance (Moshe's face glowed with a Divine light when he came down from Har Sinai showing that he was worthy to bear Hashem's glory) You placed on his head when he stood before you on Mount Sinai.
