BACK GROUND MUSIC VIOLIN PLAYED BY SASSON SHAHMOUN THE SINGER OF " MY SON  SITS IN THE SWING.... " IS HESKEL ZWILI " CLICK TO HEAR "
My son sits in the swing
and the cows eat garbage
Oh cows eat and be happy
until my son turn from kinder-garden
Oh goldsmith since you are at home
make my son his ring
and write beside his jem
a wish from the Merciful


My son sits in the swing
and the cows eat garbage
my son ride his mule
and the embroidery on his sash was revealed
and the Hamayoun embroydery was revealed
He dazed the girls of Damascus
Oh Damascus girls do not love him
because my son is garbage of our home
our home garbade is candamon and clove
and the scents of the perfume vendor
