Tekst piosenki
[TEVYE]
A fiddler on the roof sounds crazy, no?
He must be drinking [?] the way he plays these notes
And away he goes, silhouetted by the moon
He’s just like you and me, tryna scratch out a simple tune
Without breaking our necks
How to expect what’s next?
How do we use our talents
Without losing our balance?
Yo, get in the middle of little in a tizzle
I got a riddle [?]
[ENSEMBLE]
Tradition, tradition!
[TEVYE]
What? What? What?
[ENSEMBLE]
Tradition!
Tradition, tradition!
[TEVYE]
What? What?
[ENSEMBLE]
Tradition!
Yo and each decision is guarded by our traditions
[?]
For instance, we wear prayer shawls, keep our heads covered
To remind each other that he’s always above us
Because of our traditions, our hearts remain true
[MAN]: How do these traditions start?
[?] no clue!
Every since the beginning, the genesis and the [?]
Everyone knows who he is and what they’re supposed to do
You ready for the papas, y’all?
You ain’t ready for the papas!
[PAPAS]
Who day and night must scramble for a living
Feed the wife and children, say his daily prayers
[TEVYE]: What?
And who has the right as master of the house
To have the final word at home?
[TEVYE]
Here come the mamas yo!
[MAMAS]
Who must know the way to make a proper home
A quiet home, a kosher home
Who must raise a family and run the home
So papa’s free to read the holy book?
[TEVYE]
At three, I started Hebrew school
At ten, I learned a trade
I hear they picked a bride for me
I hope she’s pretty
[MAMAS]
And who does mama teach
To mend and tend and fix
[TEVYE]: I have five daughters!
Preparing her to marry
Whoever papa picks
[TEVYE]
Yo!
[ENSEMBLE]
The papas! Mamas! Daughters! Sons!
Tradition!
The papas! Mamas! Daughters! Sons!
Tradition!
[TEVYE]
We [?] traditions
Everything’s cool
The adults go to temple and the kids go to shul
Yeah, we keep it [?], follow every rule
There was the time he sold him a horse and gave him a mule
It was a horse! It was a mule!
It was a horse! It was a mule!
It was a horse! It was a mule!
It was a horse! It was a mule!
It was a horse! It was a mule!
Yo, yo, yo!
[ENSEMBLE]
Tradition, tradition!
Tradition!
Tradition, tradition!
Tradition!
[TEVYE]
And without it, we’d be as shaky as…
And without it, we’d be as shaky as…
And without it, we’d be as shaky as…
A fiddler on the motherfucking roof!
[ENSEMBLE]
Tradition!
Tradition!
Tradition!
