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
