GUEST,threelegsoman Origins: Zum Gali Gali (13) RE: Origins: Zum Gali Gali 12 May 16


As Senoufou mentioned above, this one was in the BBC Singing Together pamphlet.
I uploaded my version some time ago with the following information:
"Zum Gali Gali" is a traditional Hebrew song relating to the formation of the State of Israel, originating sometime around its creation. The songs main verse goes, "Zum Gali, Gali, Gali, Zum Gali Gali." It was originally written in Hebrew and translated into English. Zum gali gali [rhythmic words, no meaning - but gal means wave and galgal means wheel, maybe this does matter to express continuity in some way]
I do not know the Hebrew words to this song, only the English translation. It is another that I learned from the BBC Radio Broadcast, Singing Together.
The pioneer for the sake of the work,
The work for the sake of the pioneer.
Quite unusually, when accompanying this song by guitar, there is only one chord throughout, Am.
