La parida

Traditional, arrangements Christophe Hoarau, Paul Mindy
Performer Norig Recher

The new mother said:
“I am dying, I am dying”
Her husband replied:
“Be patient, my wife
You will bring a son
Into the world
And we will rejoice
For this joy is a good omen”

May the new mother live
And her life be a good one!

The young father arrives
With hands laden
In one he carries
Apples and pears
In the other
A handful of candles
To light the entire
Household

Turn, young mother
Towards the window
You will hear the young father
Reciting the She’he’chiyanu

Dichù la parida :
- Mi mueru, mi mueru
Arrespondyù il maridu :
- Pasensya mi mujer
Mi parirech un iju
I mus alegraremus
Sea buen siman esta
Alegriya

Ke mus biva la parida
I ke tenga buena vida!

Ya vyene il paridu
Kun manus yenas
In una manu yeva
Mansanas i peras
In la otra manu yeva
Un masu di kandelas
Para ke arrelumbri toda
la parintera

Aboltavoch parida
Para il verandadu
Sentirech il paridu
Dizyendu Cheeiyanu
