IMAHOT
Lyrics (Hebrew, Yiddish) : Jessi Roemer and Psalms. Music: Jessi Roemer
Aman, aman, Sarah bat Sarai
malchina et shirei chalomotai
Ba'emtza ha laila, imenu Sarah
mitganevet el michutz la'ohel
lehitpalel la'levanah:
Esa einai el he-harim

Ma tovim, tovim u'yafim
Ma tovim hachayim!
Translation:
Sarah, born of Sarai,
composes the songs
of my dreams
In the middle of the night
our mother Sarah
slips from her tent
to pray to the Moon:
I lift my eyes
unto the mountains
From where
will my help come?
Shoshana, born of Raizl,
sing to me
of joy and good fortune!
In the light of the morning
my mother Shoshana
turned toward the sun
and whispered a blessing:
How good
and how beautiful
is life!
