letra de if i were a rich man - brian stokes mitchell
“dear god, you made many, many poor people
i realize, of course, that it’s no shame to be poor
but it is no great honor either!
so, what would have been so terrible if i had a small fortune?”
if i were a rich man
yubby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dum
all day long i’d biddy biddy bum
if i were a wealthy man
i wouldn’t have to work hard
ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum
if i were a biddy biddy rich
yidle-diddle-didle-didle man
i’d build a big tall house with rooms by the dozen
right in the middle of the town
a fine tin roof with real wooden floors below
thеre would be one long staircasе just going up
and one even longer coming down
and one more leading nowhere, just for show
i’d fill my yard with chicks and turkeys and geese and ducks
for the town to see and hear
squawking just as noisily as they can
and each loud “cheep” “swawk” “honk” “quack”
would land like a trumpet on the ear
as if to say “here lives a wealthy man.”
if i were a rich man
yubby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dum
all day long i’d biddy biddy bum
if i were a wealthy man
i wouldn’t have to work hard
yubby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dum
if i were a biddy biddy rich
yidle-diddle-didle-didle man
i’d see my wife, my golde, looking like a rich man’s wife
with a proper double-chin
supervising meals to her heart’s delight
i see her putting on airs and strutting like a peac-ck
oy, what a happy mood she’s in
screaming at the servants, day and night
the most important men in town would come to fawn on me!
they would ask me to advise them
like solomon the wise
“if you please, reb tevye”
“pardon me, reb tevye”
posing problems that would cross a rabbi’s eyes!
and it won’t make one bit of difference if i answer right or wrong
when you’re rich, they think you really know!
if i were rich, i’d have the time that i lack
to sit in the synagogue and pray
maybe have a seat by the eastern wall
and i’d discuss the holy books with the learned men, several hours every day
that would be the sweetest thing of all
if i were a rich man
yubby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dum
all day long i’d biddy biddy bum
if i were a wealthy man
i wouldn’t have to work hard
idle-diddle-daidle-daidle man
lord who mad the lion and the lamb
you decreed i should be what i am
would it spoil some vast eternal plan?
if i were a wealthy man
