TNI LI YAD

GIVE ME YOUR HAND

Sham babayit hakatan
shoshanim porchot bagan
uvashovach halavan -
hayonah.
va'ani cholem achshav
al knafaim shel zahav,
ech bashamaim ani af
verak elaich shav.

Tni li yad,
mechabeket vetovah,
tni li yad,
mechazeket ushalvah,
tni li yad
vechaki li ahuvah,
kshe'ani kan levad -
tni li yad.

Sham betsel alon kaved
chay lo zikaron oved

basufah uvasharav,
eini yachol od bil'adav -

mechabeket vetovah,
tni li yad,
mechazeket veshalvah,
tni li yad
vechaki li ahuvah,
kshe'ani kan levad -
tni li yad.

Over there in the small house
roses bloom in the garden
and in the white dove-cote - 
the dove.
And I dream now

You decide.

Give me a hand and post in the comments!

Todays song of the day 6/6/22

Todays song is a cover song sung by artist Miri Aloni:


AHAVAT ITAMAR

AHAVAT ITAMAR BEN AVI 

LOVE OF ITAMAR

LOVE OF ITAMAR BEN AVI 

Hineh veretet be'orpi shuv ya'avor
eichah dibrah ha'ahavah shel pa'am
ba'ir Yerushalaim ish tahor tahor
Ahuv ahav ka'uv ka'av beza'am
vezehu davar ahavato
oleh balehavah
asher sham'ah nesichato
le'ah ha'ahuvah.

At le'ati ahavati lamrot retzonah
mi yiten yacholti lasur lema'onah
ani ohev otach kol kach
ani noshek otach kol kach
lu ahavtini le'ati
chayay lach umoti.

Vehu amar lah at shochenet bil'vavi
vatzar alai beitah ut'shukoteiha
chatam belahat itamar hu ben avi
shalosh shanim bachu'ha bacha eleilha
bikesh lasim ketz lechayav
be'ekdacho hakar
veshar lah nachal dma'otav
veshar veshar veshar.

At le'ati ahavati lamrot retzonah...

Le'ah sogeret umesugeret bemach'bo
pacham se'ar roshah tzachot paneiha
nishba hu lahmit dmutah bil'vavo
bish'vuato nichshal veshav eleiha
ve'az kichlot shalosh shanim
halchah hi acharav
me'az lachtu pa'amonim
nog'nim lah et shirav.

At le'ati ahavati lamrot retzonah...

I feel a shudder at the back of my neck 
Thinking about how Love once used to speak.
In the city of Jerusalem there was a very pure man,
Deeply in love and in a great pain of angst.
And these were the words of his love: 
A flaming love, 
Which was heard 
By his beloved princess, Leah 

“I loved my Leah – in spite of her will;
Oh, how I wish I could cross her threshold.
I love you so much!
I yearn to kiss you!
If only you would love me, my Leah,
I would be yours in life and death.”

And he said to her: “You dwell in my heart”
And he stalked her house and her desires,
Signed his letters in passion, Itamar Ben Avi,
And cried for her incessantly three years.
He threatened to take his own life
With his cold pistol.
And sang to her a river of tears
He sang, and sang and sang:

“I loved my Leah – in spite of her will;

Leah is locked and indrawn in her hideaway,
With her coal-colored hair and pure complexion. 
He vowed to obliterate her image in his heart,
But his promise failed, and he returned to her.
And sometime after three years
At long last she went after him.
Since then when he walks the bells
Ring his poetry to her.

“I loved my Leah – in spite of her will;

 
It’s a nice dance. Other artists sing the song.

Song of the day 5/19/22

Good morning sunshines! 😀🌞

Well I’ve decided to start small again and post something a little more often. Please follow my blog. 

I will be starting to in post a song of the day. The song of the day for me is usually a song that might be new or old. I might play it 3-4 times 

I’ll try and post the lyrics to the song as well (if I remember). If I forget use lyricstranslate.com

Todays song I remember learning the dance to. Eyal Golan sings the song.

Great quality concert video for better enjoyment:

Happy day I dunno!

I was kind of surprised today. We had Israeli dancing outside and a lot of our Scottsdale group showed up. I was able to teach Ilai Spiezak’s dance lecha Dodi. I was told by a few I’m not a dance teacher. Well little do they know I’ve taught children and adults throughout my lifetime. I have taught Israeli dance from Yuba city / marysville, Ca to Los Angeles and more. In Los Angeles I assisted the awesome Gadi Bitton, Shlomo Maman, Rafi Ziv, Dudu Barzilay, Shmulik Gov-Ari, and many other well known choreographers.

When I lived in la I also helped and ran some of the best parties.

A few were picky about my weird versions of the music. Well I don’t get that either. Who wants to dance to the same music week after week. It’s time to change it up! Seriously!

People did seem to like the dance. So how could people not like different versions and learning a fun dance. Am I a dance leader?
