Jewish Music Roundup – Today’s Find – 9/28/2018

Sweet song by Jane Bordeaux. Part of the ongoing project to document popular Israeli music of many varieties across the 70 years since the founding of the State of Israel in May 1948.  An approximate Hebrew-to-English translation from Google Translate appears below the video, with some emendations to render the ideas understandably.

 

 

If there is somewhere far away
A small quiet oasis
Even a veranda of wood
And she was busy there.

La la la…

If there is somewhere far away,
And even if there are thousands of horses,
Grandmother to her granddaughter
We will sing a song louder than their thundering noise.

La la la…

Because then I’ll fly there
One evening
And we’ll be together again
Counting the stars

 

Jewish Music Roundup – Today’s Find – 9/21/2018

Here, embedded into the post rather than linked to, a wonderful young woman, still a teen, who won Beit Sefer L’Musika a few years ago (young people’s school of music singing competition in Israel).  It’s interesting to see how songs with religious themes permeate Israeli culture – much of it secular – in a different way than such music does in other parts of the world.
