(To be sung as a 4-part round)
- Tzena, Tzena, Tzena, Tzena,
- Can't you hear the music playing in the village square?
- Tzena, Tzena, Tzena, Tzena,
- Can't you hear the music playing in the village square?
- Tzena, Tzena, join the celebration.
- There'll be people there from every nation.
- Dawn will find us dancing in the sunlight,
- Dancing in the village square.
Thanks very much to Jennifer Alexander, who e-mailed
me this cool and different version of Tzena! This version is not entirely
the same tune as the version above.

Tzena, Tzena, Tzena, Tzena,
- How can anything plainer than my love for you?
- Tzena, Tzena, Tzena, Tzena,
- Don't you know your eyes contain a look that thrills
me through?
- Tzena, Tzena, everyone is waiting
- For a wedding they're anticipating
- Everyone is happy celebrating
- People dancing in the streets.
Clap your hands and (clap)
- Raise your voices higher
- Make a circle
- While we dance around the fire
- All the world's in
- Love with Tze-na, Tze-na.
