Sing with me, my laddies!
(the song repeats to the obvious melody until 100 shofar blasts are heard)
תקיעה שברים תרועי תקיעה
Yo, ho ho, ho! Tekee-ah! Shevareem!
Yo, ho ho, ho! Teroo-ah! Tekee-ah!
(shofar blasts: simple note, triple paired notes, nine higher notes, simple note)
תקיעה שברים תקיעה
Tekee-ah! Shevareem! Tekee-ah! Ahoy!
(shofar blasts: simple note, triple paired notes, simple note)
תקיעה תרועי תקיעה גדולה
Tekee-ah! Teroo-ah! Tekee-ah gadolah!
(shofar blasts: simple note, nine higher notes, simple note)
Story time!
Consider the parable of a pirate who was far away from his captain: a hundred leagues away.
His mates said to him, "Return to your captain."
He replied, "I cannot: I have not the strength."
Thereupon his captain sent word, saying to him, "Come as far as you can according to your strength, and I will go the rest of the way to meet you."
So the Holy One, blessed be He, says to his people, "Return to Me, and I will return to you." (Malachi 3:7)
– Pirate Rabbati 44:9
