And so I was hardly ever able to bring a new friend home without my grandfather's humming the "O, God of our fathers" from La Juive, or else "Israel, break thy chain," singing the tune alone, of course, to an "um-ti-tum-ti-tum, tra-la";
La Juive-ko "Ô Dieu de nos Pères" ("O, gure Gurasoen Jainkoa") edota "Isräel, romps ta chaîne" ("Israel, hauts ezak heure katea"), soilik ahairea kantatuz noski (Ti la lam ta lam, talim), baina ni beldur lagunak ezagutuko ote zuen eta hitzak gainezarriko.
