Lyrics

Open up, open up!
And let us in!
Do you know who it could be?
The King of Glory* — everyone is here
Today is Purim and we are in disguise.

  1. King Ahasuerus
  2. Queen Esther
  3. Mordechai the holy man
  4. Haman the wicked

Makht oyf, makht oyf!
Un lozt undz arayn!
Veyst ir ver es ken do zayn?.
Hamelekh-hakoved * — di gantse velt
Haynt is purim, mir geyen farshtelt.

*2. Akhashveyresh
3. Ester-hamalke
4. Mordkhe-hatsadik
5. Homen-haroshe

מאַכט אױף, מאַכט אױף!
און לאָזט אונדז אַרײַן!
װײסט איר װער עס קען דאָ זײַן?
המלך־הכּבֿוד* — די גאַנצע װעלט
הײַנט איז פּורים, מיר גײען פֿאַרשטעלט.
