Music and Lyrics by Linda Hirschhorn © 1989

Lai dai-dai dai, lai dai-dai.
Lai dai-dai dai, lai dai-dai-dai.
Lai dai-dai-dai dai-dai-dai dai-dai-dai.
Lai dai-dai-dai, lai dai-dai-dai.

מרים, מרים
במהרה, במהרה
נא למדינו, נא למדינו
רקודיך, רקודיך

Miryàm, Miryàm,
bimhéràh, bimhéràh,
nà’ lamdinu, nà’ lamdinu,
riqudayich, riqudayich.

[Miriam, come quickly! Please teach us your dances!]

Dancing the songs of freedom
by the riverside,
oh, you were dancing the songs of freedom
by the riverside.

Singing the dance of freedom.....
by the riverside,
oh, you were singing the dance of freedom
by the riverside.
