Had Gadya in Arabic חד גדיא בערבית أغنية لعيد الفصح اليهودي
Eden Mi Qedem - להקת עדן מקדם
שיר לפסח
Classic Passover song (Wahad jidi) sung in Arabic, according to the Syrian Jewish tradition (Damascus).
Some think it’s a silly children’s song, but I believe that it has a deep message. (Translation below)
“ואחד ג’ידי“

Lyrics:
One little goat, one little goat.
That my father bought for two coins,
one little goat, one little goat.
Then came the cat
and ate the goat,
That my father bought for two coins,
one little goat, one little goat.
Then came the dog
and bit the cat,
that ate the goat,
That my father bought for two coins,
one little goat, one little goat.
Then came the stick
and beat the dog,
that bit the cat,
that ate the goat,
That my father bought for two coins,
one little goat, one little goat.
Then came fire
and burnt the stick,
that beat the dog,
that bit the cat,
that ate the goat,
That my father bought for two coins,
one little goat, one little goat.
Then came the water
and quenched the fire,
that burnt the stick,
that beat the dog,
that bit the cat,
that ate the goat,
That my father bought for two coins,
one little goat, one little goat.
Then came the ox
and drank the water,
that quenched the fire,
that burnt the stick,
that beat the dog,
that bit the cat,
that ate the goat,
That my father bought for two coins,
one little goat, one little goat.
Then came the slaughterer
and slaughtered the ox,
that drank the water,
that quenched the fire,
that burnt the stick,
that beat the dog,
that bit the cat,
that ate the goat,
That my father bought for two coins,
one little goat, one little goat.
Then came the Angel of Death
and killed the slaughterer,
that slaughtered the ox,
that drank the water,
that quenched the fire,
that burnt the stick,
that beat the dog,
that bit the cat,
that ate the goat,
That my father bought for two coins,
one little goat, one little goat.
Then came the Holy One, Blessed be He
and took the Angel of Death,
that killed the slaughterer,
that slaughtered the ox,
that drank the water,
that quenched the fire,
that burnt the stick,
that beat the dog,
that bit the cat,
that ate the goat,
That my father bought for two coins,
one little goat, one little goat.
