La Kova Shelie Shalosh Pinot
This song is the Hebrew version of "My Hat it has Three Corners." It's sung for Purim, a holiday that celebrates the saving of the Jews from the evil minister Haman in ancient Persia. The tradition says that Haman wore a 3 cornered, triangular hat. Jewish people eat a cookie called Hamantashen that represents Haman's hat to celebrate his defeat. They also sing this song...

La kova shelie shalosh pinot,
Shalosh pinot la kova shelie.
Lu-ley hayu lo shalosh pinot,
Lo haya ze ha kova shelie.
My hat has three corners,
Three corners my hat has,
If it did not have three corners,
It would not be my hat.
