Kichlot Eini When my Wine is Finished
When my wine is finished, my eyes drip Pools of
water. Seventy heroes they were,Wiped out by
ninety officersI have left off singing, for the
mouths of myOfficers were filled with water.
Bread to eat how pleasant it is!But how can
a meal taste good to the palateWhen the
wineglass Is filled with water. The Son of
Amram (Moses) dried the Red SeaAnd made the
Egyptian Nile stink.Who was this man Moses
whoDrew water (from the rock). I'm a friend to
the frogs He likes water, No-one knows the song
of waterBetter than he. He'll be a holy hermit
before his deathLike Yithro's descendents He
and his household will becomeDrawers of water.
