Alabar quero al Dio 3

From Arboleras vol. 1 - Sephardic cancionero and coplas oral tradition,1996

With its characteristic nine line asymmetrical rhythm and structure of a Purim copla, this song combines several themes: the story of Haman who wished to destroy the people of Israel and how they were saved by God, the story of how Esther outsmarted Haman, and the social traditions of Purim, including festive foods, drink and gifts with friends, family and neighbors.

Lyrics:
Alabar quero al Dio con tañer y cante,
siendo el no piedrió amistad avante:
de hombre berbante El mos escapó
y a Hamán lo encapó
en una paída, non topó fuída.                                            

Bushcó Hamán el mamzer de querer mercarmos,
ésto lo quiso hacer para atemarmos,
no mos olvidamos esta enemistad:
meldamos con amistad
de la vieja historia, tenelda en memoria.

Kelal de este Purim es de abrir las manos,
diciendo Alah Kerim  e viva, hermanos,
coman endianos,  sofrito y kebab
cada uno  su erbab
ordenen las mesas sin haber manquezas.

Se vistió la reina Ester en el tracer día,
vestido  de su color que al oro parecía,
con grande mancía se fue ande el rey.
El rey que la vido venir
pedrió su tino, a la color del vino.

- ¿Qué es la tu venida, Ester? qué es la tu demanda?
- Un convit quero hacer en la tuya casa,
con toda la compaña  y Hamán tambien;
atambien  quero comer
con ti en una mesa, viva tu grandeza.

Translation:
The rule of this Purim is to open hands,
Saying "Allah is Generous" and live, brothers,
Let them eat sweets, sofrito and kebab,
Each one to his ability,
Set the tables without there being lack 

Queen Esther dressed on the third day,
Dressed in her clothing that looked like gold,
With great grace she went to the king.
The king who saw her coming
lost his color (blushed), like the color of wine.

- Why have you come, Esther? What is your request?
- A banquet I want to make in your house,
With all the company, and also Haman;
I also want to eat
With you at one table, may your greatness live!
