Hava Nageela

I am so glad I found this song on Youtube by Harry Belafonte (from my childhood days when I was about 7 or 8). I wanted to share it with you. Hope you enjoy this old Hebrew Song. Pasted below are also the Lyrics of this simple but beautiful song. And Belafonte oh what a voice?? I can still recall my old LP record crackling and turning at 33 1/3 rpm.

"Hava Nageela" (in Hebrew) is a Hebrew folk song, the title meaning "Let us rejoice". It is a song of celebration, especially popular amongst irreligious Jewish and Roma communities. In popular culture, it is used as a metonym for Judaism, and is a staple of band performers at Jewish festivals.


Hava Nageela Hava Nageela
Hava Nageela vay mismacha

Hava Nageela Hava Nageela
Hava Nageela vay mismacha

Hava na ranina
Hava na ranina
Hava na ranina vay mismacha

Hava na ranina
Hava na ranina
Hava na ranina vay mismacha

Oo roo ooroo achim
Oo roo achim belev say maya
Oo roo achim belev say maya
Oo roo achim belev say maya
Oo roo achim belev say maya

Oo roo achim Oo roo achim
Belev say maya
(repeat all above once)
