הַצֶּמַח צֶדֶק חִבֵּר כַּמָּה נִגּוּנִים
The Tzemach Tzedek composed several niggunim.
לִמּוּדוֹ הָיָה בְּקוֹל וְנִגּוּן
He would study aloud and melodiously.
וְלִפְעָמִים הָיָה מַפְסִיק בְּאֶמְצַע לִמּוּדוֹ
At times he would pause in the midst of his study,
אוֹ כְּתִיבָתוֹ דִּבְרֵי אֱלֹקִים חַיִּים אוֹ שְׁאֵלוֹת וּתְשׁוּבוֹת
or in the midst of writing Chassidus or a halachic responsum,
וּמְנַגֵּן אֵיזֶה נִגּוּן
and would sing a niggun.
אַאַזְמוּ"ר סִפֵּר
My revered grandfather, the Rebbe [Maharash], related
אֲשֶׁר מִקּוֹל נִגּוּנוֹ שֶׁל הַצֶּמַח צֶדֶק
that from the tone of the niggun the Tzemach Tzedek was singing,
הָיָה יוֹדֵעַ בַּמֶּה הוּא עָסוּק בְּאוֹתָה שָׁעָה
he could tell the subject he was involved in at that time.
