His undignified reflection

In the pool of gore

The animal is dead

But its muscles still twitch

Substitute for a man

It bribes the heavens

A two-legged chicken

It bribes the heavens

He graps the legs of a rooster

Swung three times above his beanie

In movements unknown

An offering of dead birds

Substitute for a man

It bribes the heavens

A two-legged chicken

It bribes the heavens

Man to fowl, fowl to man

Above his mucky skullcap

In movements unknown

The rite of Kapparot

Rooster and hen, Adam and Eve

The multitude tiptoes

In the fields of guts

Blood on their feet

In movements unknown

For atonement of their cruelty

Misfortune tellers abide by tradition

Passed on from hebe to hebe

Rooster and hen, Adam and Eve

The multitude tiptoes

In the fields of guts

Blood on their feet
