L’FUM TZAAROH AGROH- Dov Dov- Composed by Jeff Klepper, Dan Freelander & Moti Giladi, Lyrics by Rebbetzin Yona Weinberg- Dov Dov & The Bicycle Race
(T.T.T.O. Lo Alecha- Shema Koleinu 2 / Sheyibaneh- Moti Giladi/Duo Reim)
VERSE 1:
It used to be that every Friday
When I’d come home from school,
I used to say, “Ich, it’s Friday
Now I have to work like a mule.”
My mother always makes me help her
When I just want to go and play,
My very worst day of the week
Always was Friday.
CHORUS 1:
And so I’d work, but only because I had to
I didn’t care what I would do,
I’d wish that I could be free like a soaring bird
Till someone told me these words.
They told me: L’fum tza’aroh agroh,
They told me: L’fum tza’aroh agroh,
The harder the work is to do
The more s’char Hashem gives you,
L’fum tza’aroh agroh.
The harder the work is to do
The more s’char Hashem gives you,
L’fum tza’aroh agroh.
VERSE 2:
I used to hate to do my homework
It always took so very long,
I’d rush to get it finished quickly
I’d get upset when it was wrong.
I didn’t like to sit and struggle
I didn’t really want to try,
I didn’t feel like working hard at it
It made me sort of want to cry.
CHORUS 2:
And so I’d work, but only because I had to
I didn’t care what I would do,
I’d wish that I could be free like a soaring bird
Till someone told me these words.
They told me: L’fum tza’aroh agroh,
They told me: L’fum tza’aroh agroh,
The harder the work is to do
The more s’char Hashem gives you,
L’fum tza’aroh agroh.
VERSE 3:
The harder the work is to do
The more s’char Hashem gives you,
L’fum tza’aroh agroh.
I knew that I should visit Baruch,
Because he felt so very sick.
But my legs were feeling tired,
I didn’t feel like going quick.
The ground was muddy and the rain poured down,
And Baruch lived so far away.
I’d really have a long way to walk,
I wouldn’t have time left to play.
CHORUS 3:
And so I’d walk, but only because I had to
I didn’t care what I would do,
I’d wish that I could be free like a soaring bird
Till someone told me these words.
They told me: L’fum tza’aroh agroh,
They told me: L’fum tza’aroh agroh,
The harder the work is to do
The more s’char Hashem gives you,
L’fum tza’aroh agroh.
The harder the work is to do
The more s’char Hashem gives you,
L’fum tza’aroh agroh.
