Subject: RE: Lyr Add: EHAD MI YODEA

EHAD MI YODEA has been translated into several languages including Hebrew and Yiddish. According to the link Monique gives to origins of the song, the Ladino version is probably older than the Hebrew version. My thought when I first read the English language translation was that this song could well be the inspiration for the theory that The Twelve Days of Christmas is a cryptic catechism (not a theory I find very plausible).

Do you know of any other songs which go to the same tune? It's one of the few tunes I've played on the tin whistle. I played it from memory as a girl used to sing it at a camp I went to one summer. I don't know what language she sang in, probably Hebrew (she sang Tzena, tzena also). But I remembered the tune as having a consistent length, not getting longer with each verse of the song.

Subject: RE: Echad Mi Yodea

see a https://www.jewishlanguages.org/echad-mi-yodeahrecordings, and lyrics not only in Ladino and Hebrew but in Yiddish, Judeo-Arabic , English, Judeo-Italian and Bukharian (related to Persian). Unfortunately the scripts are translated, without also being written in their own alphabets; although there are some photographs of manuscripts with Hebrew lettering.

Monique - maybe later you can give this song a discussion thread of its own and move my two comments there.

Direct link to Jewish languages.org that Felipa mentioned above.
Felipa, Joe has copied the whole Ehad mi yodea topic from the other thread, so I'll remove your two comments as you suggested. Thanks for commenting!

thanks, Monique - is that the Hebrew or is it another Judaic language written in Hebrew characters rather than transliteration?

The Wiki page (link just before the lyrics) gives both Hebrew and Yiddish lyrics and these are the Hebrew ones.
