Ruku keri la paparika

[Ruku wants porridge]

See Lecture: Sephardic Food
 

Ruku keri la paparika,  Ruku wants porridge,
No li buyi la kaldirika,  But it isn't ready yet,
     Ayde le li ruku le ruku ta,       ...
     Ayde veni ita, 
     Ayde yel bana yel, 
     Ama yel bana yel. 
  
Ruku keri pan i media,  Ruku wants one and a half 
No l'abasta ni guevu i mediu .  One and a half eggs isn't enough for her
     Ayde le li ruku le ruku ta ...        ...
  
Ruku keri kama a la franka*  Ruku wants a European bed
kon kushines de haze blanka  with cushions of white cotton
     Ayde le li ruku le ruku ta ...       ...
