Les Compagnons de la Chanson also do a great version in French (and rather hilarious French-accented Hebrew). The Hebrew lyrics are above; here are the French (and until someone teaches me how to do accents in HTML, I'll just ignore them, sorry):Dansons, car dans les granges
I checked this song with my Israeli cousin-in-law and he said it was a pretty good gloss of the original...
Le ble se range
C'est le dernier jour des mouissons!
Dansons, sur cette terre, verte et fiere, qui n'oublie pas de nos sillons! (line unclear)
Dansons sans plus penser
Au bal qu'on c'est donne
Pour faire lever le grain
Qu'on aura demain!
Dansons pour oublier
Sous le ciel etoile
Nos peines et nos peurs
Que le grain demeure!
Lai, lai, lai lai lai lai
Et ma joie devient complete
Pres de toi, le temps s'arrete
Dans tes bras je perd la tete
Et tout prend un air de fete
Serre-moi jusqu'au jour
Dansons, dansons mon amour!Vague translation:
Let's dance, for in the silos, wheat is piling up, it's the last day of the harvest! Let's dance, on this earth, green and proud, which doesn't forget a single furrow! Let's dance without thinking any more about the party we're having, to raise the grain we'll have tomorrow! Let's dance to forget, under starry skies, our labors and fears, let there be nothing but grain! (or possibly There is nothing left but grain!) La, la, la la la la, And my joy is completed, near you time stops, in your arms I lose my mind, and everything becomes like a celebration! Hold me tight until day! Let's dance, let's dance my love!
