ChiriBim

Description

Chiri Bim Traditional Yiddish Folk Song The words chiribim and chiribom are the entire lyrics of this song. They don't mean anything. Sounds or syllables like this are sung by Hasids (A sect of Jewish mystics founded in Poland about 1750, characterized by religious zeal and a spirit of prayer, joy, and charity.) to wordless tunes, called niguns (Songs sung by Hasidic Jews as a means of elevating the soul to Gd. Because they lacked words, the nigunim were felt to move the singer beyond the sensual and rational toward the mystic. Such songs were spontaneously extemporized by a rabbi or one of his disciples, the entire group then repeating the song in unison. Melodically, the songs are strongly influenced by Slavic folk song, but they are freer in rhythm.) . (When I say, "Come my beloved" You'll say. "Chiri biri bim" (When I say, "To meet the bride" You'll say. "Chiri biri bom" "Come my beloved" -- "Chiri biri bim" "To meet the bride" -- "Chiri biri bom" "Come my beloved" -- "To meet the bride" Chiri biri biri biri bom.
