UNOFFICIAL MIZRACH VIDEO

English Translation of: Track 8- "Yeled Katan" from the "Leap of Faith" Album

There are turbulent winds outside again.
Black clouds are again rising.
And the sirens cry slices the heart.
And heavy rain has been descending for a week already.

From above the clouds surely the sun shines.
But she doesn't see the day.
These harsh sights hide the light.
It's a little bit hard for me to be happy today.

And I am like a small child.
Standing and asking: Until when?
Until when, until when, Master of the world?
Master of the world, until when?

Even answers are sometimes questions.
Perhaps [Hashem is] hiding [His] face.
[But] give me a little. Give me a sign that lights up.
[For] my way is dark sometimes.

But, from above the clouds surely the sun shines.
But she doesn't see the day.
These harsh sights hide the light.
It's a little bit hard, a little bit hard for me to be happy today.

And I am like a small child.
Standing and asking: Until when?
Until when, until when, Master of the world?
Master of the world, until when?

English Translation of Track 6- "Hang up the Phone" from the "Leap of Faith" album

English

Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone
Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone

The family gets dizzy
The father seems so busy
My phone is going crazy
My hands are numb and freezy
The gadgets make us lazy
We gotta take it easy

Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone

I didn't see you in ages
It seems to me contagious
You going through some stages
The phone makes you outrageous
It locks you up in cages
Unlike our sages

Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone

All the hocus-pocus
Forever tries to choke us
It's making such a ruckus
We can barely focus

Davening and driving
Eating, working, sleeping
Why keep on replying
To all the rings and beeping

Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone
Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone
Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone
Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone

Hang up the phone! Hang up the phone!

Yiddish
Oi- What's my father missing
He doesn't have a computer
Today, every little whistle-blower (Every Kid)
In new toys (gadgets) he bathes

There's no more peace
How do we get rid of it
Oy vey- Gevalt, (Yiddish expression similiar to "Oh goodness")
Hang up the phone already

English
I'm going to a wedding
The entire hall is squawking
Everyone is phoning
To the wall I'm talking
My friend is with his bluetooth
We're together we are walking
Hey, hello please, Can you hang up that, That phone!!!

All the hocus-pocus
Forever tries to choke us
It's making such a ruckus
We can barely focus

Davening, Davening and driving,
Eating, working, sleeping
Why keep on replying
To all the rings and beep beep beep beep beeeeeeeeeeep

Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone
Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone
Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone
Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone
Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone
Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone

Lay lay lay...

Instead of searching Google
I'm busy making Kugel
Instead of checking Email
I lift my hands to Himmel (the sky) [Yiddish]

Yiddish
I don't need this for this book
I only use an Aleph-Beis book
Lay, lay, lay, lay,
I have a Kosher telephone

Ipod, iphone, ipad
Aii, why does it come into my house/Shul
I still remember when an "I" [an egg] ("I" means egg in Yiddish) only meant egg with onion
I still remember when Blackberries
Didn't used to grow in Manhattan
And only those who had a headache
Would make use of tablets

Enough already with the phone (mixture of English and Yiddish)
Enough already with the phone (Yiddish)

Can you hang up the phone
Can you hang up the phone.............

Lipa At Dora Golding- Summer 2004

Abra Kadabra

English Translation of “Dimyonis- Fantasies”- Track 7 of Lipa B’Derech

Here is a part of an interview where Lipa explains a little about this song:



Here is the English translation:

A person who ponders too much:

When I arrive they stop talking
Whenever they can they try to put me down
I don’t know why nobody can tolerate me
Angry at me, I don’t know why
I see how he’s speaking and making facial expressions (and twisting his nose)
Out of the whole group they always exclude me
From outside he’s good- and from inside he’s bitter
A lot of bad he does to me- why?
A beautiful Simcha- Invitations are sent
Only me they didn’t invite- why?
He spends time with everyone- he goes out of his way to help them
But only me he lets hang- why?
He finds liars (against me)- he riles everyone up (against me)
He gets under my skin- why?

Lipa:

Don’t think, don’t imagine
Don’t ponder, don’t whine
Because every minute of speculation
Can drive you crazy
It doesn’t pay to fantasize
A person analyzes- and a story develops
And for someone else it causes tears
Hebrew: No bears and no forest
Yiddish: No forest and no bears
(This is an expression that is used when someone for example creates a fictitious story “There were bears and a forest”. We then tell him “There was no bears and no forest—It’s bologna what you’re saying”)

The house owner takes a walk in his garden
In his hand is a machine, he’s cutting the grass
His neighbor from the window sees this grass cutter
He looks and thinks and a light bulb goes on (in his head)
I’ll borrow it from him, I could surely use it
He’s already baking a story, a fantasy he’s already kneading
My grass is growing, he sees it
His grass cutter I’m asking for
He does nothing- for me
It’s always a hardship for him- to do favors warmly
Now I’m begging to have some compassion
He is always borrowing from me- he doesn’t pay his debt
Such an ingrate (Kofay Toiva)- is he
(He says) not to worry (when it comes to him paying his debts)- I can wait till tomorrow
He will not lend it to me- I’m thinking
He goes over there to find his neighbor
The neighbor opens the door
The friend starts yelling and screaming there
The neighbor looks, am I perhaps dreaming
He just wants to ask him what’s going on
The friend continues screaming and says with firmness:
“Let my grass grow until the sky I still won’t need your grass cutter ok”?!......
The neighbor looks (at him) completely confused
What does he want from me, I just don’t understand
He asks this friend questioningly
You’re hallucinating, you didn’t even ask
You’re not asking me for anything and yet you’re angry
I’ll lend it to you gladly so what is your gripe

The friend responds:

I’m sorry I didn’t mean it
Please don’t be upset
I got angry, I myself don’t know- why

Lipa:

You’re wasting your time- you fantasize for no reason
I will be realistic- why?
Because meaningless fantasies- do not have interpretations
Save your sanity
Fantasies, false ideas
Brings you only pain and embarrassment
When people think (too much into things)- It brings on arguments (machlokes)
And you make enemies- like this
Straighten your mind- don’t fantasize
You will enhance your life- like this
Think with intelligence- without false illusions
It’s all empty illusions
Let go of all your dreams already
And see that it’s all fantasies……

English Translation Of Abimelebt

ABIMELEBT= As Long As You're Alive (Don't Worry About The Petty Annoyances)

I want a coffee but there's no milk
I found just a drop,
I taste it
It tastes sour
I throw away the cup

Abimelebt, Abimelebt, Abimelebt, Abimelebt......................................

A red light
A shining reflector
In the mirror I see a Police,
He tells me to stay still
He writes me a ticket
He puts on a sweet smile

Abimelebt, Abimelebt, Abimelebt, Abimelebt......................................

Afterwards I'm Shvitzing (sweating)
Sitting in traffic
Driving a long way,
The Highway's busy
I'm getting dizzy
Becoming enraged

You run to the line
It's already 3 (o'clock, when the bank closes)
By the door of the bank I wait,
The supervisor screams in anger
"It's late, the bank is closed"

Abimelebt, Abimelebt, Abimelebt, Abimelebt......................................

In Penn Station when with frustration I missed my train tonight
They keep on beeping and I should be sleeping like the lion sleeps tonight

English Translation Of “Amen”- Track 12 On A Poshiter Yid

First of all, there appears to be a mistake in the album cover. There, it says that the wording of this song comes from “Mussaf of Yomim Noiramim”. However upon research of this matter (with the help of Rabbi Koigel) it was discovered that the words to the Amen song are quoted in Devarim Raba by Parshas Ki Savoi. The original source is the Medrash Tanchuma, Parshas Tzav, Sif Zain and the Pusek "Baruch Hashem L'Oilum Amen Vamen" comes from 2 P'Sukim in Tehilim, Kapital Ain Beis. So I think that when the album booklet says "Mussaf Yomim Noiramim" it's a mistake and it should say "Medresh Tanchuma".

Now, the meaning of the word “Amen” corresponds to what kind of bracha was said. There are 3 kinds of Brachas:

1) A bracha which is a praise to Hashem (like a bracha over food or one the morning brachos). In this case Amen means: “I believe that Hashem does this or IS this”

2) A bracha that is a Tefila for the future (like Racheim Na in Bentching or Kadish). In this case Amen means: “I hope that this will come true”

3) A bracha which combines 1) and 2) (like the braches of Shemonei Esrei). In this case Amen means: “I believe that Hashem does this, or IS this, AND I hope that this will come true”

Translation of the song:

Whoever answers Amen in this world, will merit to answer Amen in the world to come.

As it is stated: “Blessed is Hashem forever, Amen and Amen” (Tehilim, Kapital Ain Beis)

Amen in this world and Amen in the world to come.

Yehe Shmay Raba……….. May His great Name be blessed forever and ever

The DVD portion of The Shmorg contains something for everyone to watch.

Oorah Looking for Talented Singers- Are You The Next Lipa?

It’s a tough market for aspiring Jewish singers. You need some connections, and then you have to find a composer to produce an original track, rent a recording studio to record it, acquire a good agent and a distributor. Most would-be singing stars would be discouraged faster than you can say “demo.”

But now, there’s an alternative, “fast-track” to gaining recognition in the music world – the Oorah Auditions competition. In conjunction with Oorah’s annual auction, is soliciting contestants who aspire to have their musical talents showcased on Oorah’s CD, to be distributed with the second mailing of the Auction catalog.

For instant exposure to the wide world of Jewish listeners, there’s no better option. Oorah’s Auction catalog reaches households throughout the world with its eagerly anticipated selection of $5 prizes, all to support its highly successful network of kiruv programs. Contestants can submit their audition by mail, as an email attachment or even over the phone. Five finalists will be chosen, and the winner will be professionally recorded onto the Oorah CD.

To enter your submission, call 732-415-7405 or email attachments to auditions @oorah.org. To send an entry, mail to: Auditions Dept. c/o Oorah, 1805 Swarthmore Ave., Lakewood, NJ 08701.

The deadline for entries is January 15, 2009.

Bonus Raffle for Oorah’s Early Donors

By now, Oorah’s Auction catalog, seen in mailboxes, stores and waiting rooms across the country, has been the subject of conversations and imaginations of young and not so young alike. And now there’s one more reason for donors to send in their raffle entries right away.

Everyone who sends in an order by 7 p.m. January 26, 2009 will be entered into the Auction’s Early Bird raffle. The winner chooses from three exquisite silver pieces, each one valued at $3,000. Entries can be made online at oorah.org.

Every entry into Oorah’s Auction helps Oorah raise money for its renowned and respected kiruv work. The Auction has become an annual tradition, generating tremendous excitement and participation with its luxurious, imaginative prizes all priced at $5 per entry.

By entering the Oorah Auction, participants can view the wide selection of prizes, which run from the typical, to the zany, to the practical.

In gratitude to its loyal supporters, Oorah also offers a choice of beautiful bonus prizes to donors of $250 or more. But the greatest reward is the chance to take part in the spiritual journey of hundreds of Oorah families.

This year, Oorah offers its donors a chance to earmark their tzedaka for one of four categories in their Power to the People campaign, delineated in the kiruv section of the Auction catalog.

By logging onto oorah.org before January 26, participants have the chance to place entries on a wide range of desirable prizes, learn all about Oorah and additionally, become eligible to win a stunning silver piece that will bring a new glow to their home. Plus all online entries get put into a free $500 raffle. Most of all, they will be helping Oorah to put a new glow into the lives of hundreds of Jewish families.

WHERE DID YOU SAY YOU WERE GONNA BE MARCH 1ST?

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!

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.

Ah Fraylichin Chanuka!!!

This song was song by Lipa at "The Lipa Experience" on Chanuka 2006. You can listen to the song while reading the english translation of it right here:



Chanuka oh Chanuka,
A beautiful Yom Tov,
A special one, a joyous one,
There is none like it.

Every night with Dreidels we play,
Hot fresh Latkes we eat.

Come children, hurry up,
To light the Chanuka candleluch.

We say Al Hanisim, we thank for the miracles,
Let's all dance together

We say Al Hanisim, we thank for the miracles,
Let's all dance together.

Chanuka oh Chanuka,
A beautiful Yom Tov,
A special one, a joyous one,
There is none like it.

Every night with Dreidels we play,
Hot fresh Latkes we eat.

Come children, hurry up,
To light the Chanuka candleluch.

We say Al Hanisim, we thank for the merits,
Let's all dance together

We say Al Hanisim, we thank for the merits,
Let's all dance together.

Come children, hurry up,
To light the Chanuka candleluch.

We say Al Hanisim, we thank for the merits,
Let's all dance together

We say Al Hanisim, we thank for the merits,
Let's all dance together.

Yossel, my friend, you are sitting here by the piano...
