The Aramaic song about a goat traditionally sung at the end of the Seder is Chad Gadya.
Its title means “one little goat” or “one kid.” The cumulative song begins with a goat bought by the singer’s father for two zuzim, then introduces a cat, dog, stick, fire, water, ox, slaughterer and Angel of Death. Each verse repeats the earlier chain, making it especially memorable for children.
Chad Gadya is associated with the conclusion of the Passover Seder. Although it is commonly described as an Aramaic song, its text actually mixes Aramaic and Hebrew, and some of its grammar is irregular. Its melody may have connections to medieval German folk music.
The song appeared in printed Haggadahs in Prague in the 16th century, making it a relatively late addition to the Seder liturgy. Interpretations vary: some read its chain of violence as an allegory of Jewish history, while others see moral, spiritual or ritual symbolism. Ehad Mi Yodea is also cumulative, but it counts Jewish teachings rather than telling the goat’s story.
