הצפור | Ha-tsipor | The Bird (1912)

Artist: Abraham Zvi Idelsohn (1882-1938)

Lyrics: From "Ben-Ami" (A)

Tune: Folk Tune (Hassidic)

The text of this song was published in Mikraot Le-Talmidim Be-Vet Ha-Sefer U'Be-Vet Ha-Av, edited by Ben-Ami (Odessa: 1905: p. 55).

In “Ha-tsipor”, a bird flies to warm lands and there builds her nest.

The melody is adapted from an unidentified Hassidic melody, in a major key.
