lyrics

SEIJ AÑOS
Lyrics (Ladino) : Leviticus 25:3. Music: Jessi Roemer.
Seij años sembraras
sembraras la tierra
Seij años podaras
podaras tu vinya
Pero el septimo
anyo la tierra
tendra completo
descanso para El Dio

Translation:
For six years, till the land
For six years, prune your vineyards
But the seventh year
is for the land
a complete rest
for God
