Thanks to Silvano Stagni, a Sephardic Jew from Italy, on the Compuserve Forum in 1991, for this song he recalled singing as a young boy.

Kuando Ester la Reyna |
When Esther the queen
|
|
Kuando Ester la Reyna Se vestyo de reynar. A Ahashverosh potente Se fue a demandar. Lavose, peynose, Tambyen alkoholose, Por ver si el rey tuvyera De Israel piada.
Aman mamzer, el malo Penso de arrekilar A Israel amado Al reshodes de Adar. Aman izo la orka Por Mordehay emar, La izo kon rizo. Supyera l'ora ke izo: Aman i sus dyes ihos, Enemigos de Israel! |
When Esther the queen Dressed up to rule. To the powerful Ahashverosh She went to demand. Bathed and combed, Then got up her nerve, To see if the king would Take pity on Israel
Aman, the bastard, the wicked one Thought of destroying Our beloved Israel. On the first of Adar. Aman raised a gallows To hang Mordahai, Raising it with laughter. He should have known who would hang now: Aman and his ten sons, Enemies of Israel!
