Hebrew Lyrics to Hamagafayim Shel Baruch


הַמַגָּפַיִם שֶׁל בָּרוּךְ

הוּא קָנָה אוֹתָן בְּזוֹל
הֵן הָיוּ מְלֵאוֹת בְּחוֹל
הוּא נִיקָה אוֹתָן בִּסְפִּירְט כָּל שְׁעָתָּיִם.
הֶאֱכִיל אוֹתָן מָרָק
כְּשֶׁהֵקִיאוּ הוּא שָׁתַק,
הוּא לַקַח אוֹתָן לְסֶרֶט כָּל יוֹמַיִם.

אֲבָל יוֹם אֶחָד הוּא קָם
עֲדַיִן מְנוּמְנָם,
חִיפֵּשׂ תַּ'מַּגָּפַיִם בָּאָרוֹן.
וּבַמָּקוֹם שֶׁהֵן הָיוּ
רַק גַּרְבַּיִם נִשְׁאֲרוּ
שֶׁסִּיפְּרוּ לוֹ אֶת הַכֹּל בְּהִיגָיוֹן, שֶׁ-

נַעֲלַיִם קוֹנִים מַהֵר
וְגַרְבַּיִם לֹא חָסֵר,
אַךְ מַגָּפַיִם וּמִכְנָסַיִם,
שֶׁתָּמִיד קוֹנִים קוֹמְפְּלֵט,
קָשֶׁה מְאוֹד לְהַשִּׂיג אוֹתָם כָּעֵת.
נַגְּנִי, נַגְּנִי גִּיטָרָה...

לְדַרְכּוֹ יָצָא יָחֵף
מְצוּנָן וְגַם עָיֵף
וְכּוּלוֹ מוּדָע לְעוֹמֶק הַצָּרָה.
כְּשֶׁשָׁאַל עוֹבֵר וָשָׁב
אִם רָאָה אֶת מַגָּפַיו,
רַק מִתּוֹךְ נִימוּס נַשְׁמִיט אֶת הַתְּשׁוּבָה.

בָּרוּךְ תָּר בִּכְּפָר וָעִיר
בְּמַצָּב מְאוֹד שָׁבִיר,
הַדִּיפְּרֶסְיָה בְּמוֹחוֹ הִשְׁתּוֹלְלָה.
כְּשֶׁפָּנָה חֲסַר אוֹנִים
לְמָדוֹר חִיפּוּשׂ קְרוֹבִים,
הִתְרַגֵּז עָלָיו פָּקִיד הַקַּבָּלָה, כִּי-

נַעֲלַיִם קוֹנִים מַהֵר
וְגַרְבַּיִם לֹא חָסֵר,
אַךְ מַגָּפַיִם וּמִכְנָסַיִם,
שֶׁתָּמִיד קוֹנִים קוֹמְפְּלֵט,
קָשֶׁה מְאוֹד לְהַשִּׂיג אוֹתָם כָּעֵת.
נַגְּנִי, נַגְּנִי גִּיטָרָה...

וְהִנֵּה לְיַד חַוָּה
שָׁם מִילָא תַּ'מֵּימִיָּה,
הוּא גִילָה עִקְּבוֹת שֶׁלֹּא נַעֲשׂוּ מִזְּמַן.
וּפִתְאוֹם בֵּין הַשִּׂיחִים
הוּא שָׁמַע שָׁם לִחְשׁוּשִׁים,
בִּזְרוֹעוֹת בָּחוּר אַחֵר רָאָה אוֹתָן.

לֹא יָדַע הוּא מַה לַעֲשׂוֹת,
אִם לִצְחוֹק אוֹ רַק לִבְכּוֹת
מַה שֶׁלֹּא יִהְיֶה הוֹצִיא אֶת הַמִּטְפַּחַת.
אֶת הַהוּא לַצַּד לָקַח
וְשָׁלַף אֶת הָאֶקְדָּח
שֶׁיָּרָה עָלָיו כַּדּוּר אֶחָד בַּתַּחַת. כִּי -

נַעֲלַיִם קוֹנִים מַהֵר
וְגַרְבַּיִם לֹא חָסֵר,
אַךְ מַגָּפַיִם וּמִכְנָסַיִם,
שֶׁתָּמִיד קוֹנִים קוֹמְפְּלֵט,
קָשֶׁה מְאוֹד לְהַשִּׂיג אוֹתָם כָּעֵת.
נַגְּנִי, נַגְּנִי גִּיטָרָה...

אָז הַהוּא אָמַר "סְלִיחָה",
הוּא קִיפֵּל אֶת הַשְּׂמִיכָה
וְהָלַךְ הַבַּיְתָה בְּלִי לַעֲשׂוֹת חוֹכְמוֹת.
וּמֵאָז וְעַד הַיּוֹם,
גַּם בַּגֶּשֶׁם, גַּם בַּחוֹם,
הֵן תְּפוּרוֹת אֶצְלוֹ יָשָׁר לַעֲצָמוֹת. כִּי-

נַעֲלַיִם קוֹנִים מַהֵר
וְגַרְבַּיִם לֹא חָסֵר,
אַךְ מַגָּפַיִם וּמִכְנָסַיִם,
שֶׁתָּמִיד קוֹנִים קוֹמְפְּלֵט,
קָשֶׁה מְאוֹד לְהַשִּׂיג אוֹתָם כָּעֵת.
נַגְּנִי, נַגְּנִי גִּיטָרָה...

וְאִם אַתָּה לֹא מַאֲמִין
תִּשְׁאַל אֶת בָּרוּךְ.

English translation of Hamagafayim Shel Baruch


Hamagafayim Shel Baruch

He bought them very cheaply
They were full of sand
He cleaned them with turps every two hours.
He fed them soup
when they threw up, he kept quiet
He took them to the movies every two days.

But one day he got up
still sleepy
Looked for the boots in the cupboard.
And in the place they should have been
only socks remained
and they told him what had happened......that -

Shoes - are bought quickly
And socks are plentiful
But boots and pants
that are bought as a set
are very difficult to obtain at the moment.

(play, play guitar)
On his way he went, barefoot,
sniffly and tired
all of him deeply depressed.
When he asked a passersby
if he's seen his boots
only politeness forced him to reply.

Baruch travelled from village to city
In a very shattered mood.
The depression in his mind went crazy
When he turned to the 'office of missing relatives'
the clerk got really mad at him.
Shoes - are bought quickly
And socks are plentiful
But boots and pants
that are bought as a set
are very difficult to obtain at the moment.

And here, near a farm
he filled his water-bottle
and saw footprints made recently
And suddenly between the bushes
he heard whisperings
he saw them - in the arms of another man.

He didn't know what to do
whether to laugh or cry
nevertheless, he took out his handkerchief.
He took the guy to the side
pulled out his revolver
and fired a bullet into his bottom. Because.....

Shoes - are bought quickly
And socks are plentiful
But boots and pants
that are bought as a set
are very difficult to obtain at the moment.

So the other guy said: "Sorry"
folded the blanket
and went home without making trouble
And from then until today
whether in rain or heat
they are sewed on to his bones. Because....

Shoes - are bought quickly
And socks are plentiful
But boots and pants
that are bought as a set
are very difficult to obtain at the moment.


And if you don't believe this story
Ask Baruch.
