The rose of Jacob was cheerful and joyous when they saw together the royal blue of Mordechai's [robe]. You have been their everlasting redemption, and their hope in every generation. To make known, that all who hope in you will not be embarrassed, and those who take refuge in You will never be humiliated. Cursed is Haman who sought to destroy me, blessed is Mordechai the Jew. Cursed is Zeresh, the wife of my tormentor, blessed is Esther [who acted] for me. May Charvonah also be remembered for good. Shoshanas Yaakov tzahala v'simcha, birosam yachad techeles Mordechai. Teshuasam hayisa lanetzach, tikvasam b'chol dor vador. Lehodiya, shekol kovecha lo yevoshu, velo yicalmu lanetzach kol hachosim bach. Arur Haman, asher bikesh le'abdi, baruch Mordechai hayehudi. Arurah Zeresh, eshes mafchidi, beruchah Esther ba'adi, v'gam charvonah zachor latov. |

thanks so much, this is great Purim music for the whole family!!
Thanks for providing such cheerful, great purim music! I've been listening to it with a bunch of kids so much over these past few days and it really puts us in the Purim spirit!!

Thanks for adding the translations and transliterations!
Wow, you really do read the comments. Thanks for adding the translations and the transliterations so quickly!
(45) Leah, March 20, 2011 8:38 PM
Please also add the written lyrics and translations.
Thank so the downloads of the songs. It would be even more useful if you would also write out the lyrics in Hebrew and in English transliteration, plus translations, since it's hard for those who don't already know all the words of the songs to decipher the precise words even from the audios. This is a general suggestion for the songs of all the holidays. In fact we could use some brand new shirim for the chagim! AISH - thanks for all your great work!

\There were such wonderful Yiddish Purim Songs. Now they are thrown out and forgotten! Like: Yakhne Dvoshe...Heint is Purim Brieder...et c. Why has the world thrown these out and only the Hebrew ones can be found? For shame!
