«عَرَايَا يِقَفْقَفُمْ وِجَايْبِينْ طَارْ وِيْسَقَّفُمْ»

The saying pictures people with no clothes, trembling from the cold, who have still found a frame drum and are clapping to it. It ridicules those who lack the most basic necessities yet throw themselves into amusement and celebration, as if their hardship did not exist or could wait.

The point is mismatched priorities: pleasure and noise are chosen over warmth. The halves rhyme on yiqafqafum and yisaqqafum, pairing shivering with clapping; here yisaqqafum is a colloquial verb for clapping, not roofing, so the sound sets misery and merriment side by side.

Say it with wry disapproval when someone who cannot cover basic needs spends effort or money on fun, celebrations or show. It works as a teasing aside, but aimed at someone's genuine hardship it can sound cruel.
