07 Jul 04 - 10:42 AM (#1220683) Subject: Bo Dodi-Israeli folk song From: GUEST,Sheila I'm seeking the Hebrew lyrics (written out in English) of "Bo Dodi", written in 1944 by Yitzchak Fogel and sung by Dvora Lapson on "Israeli Folk Dances, Vol 1, l957. Each verse seems to end "Rando, rondo, ron dodi." Many thanks for any help. Sheila |

08 Jul 04 - 11:57 AM (#1221420) Subject: RE: Bo Dodi-Israeli folk song From: GUEST,Sheila Dear Rabbi-Sol, Soooo close. My recording seems to be "Bo dodi a lo ki ha gornu, Shom fir mocha shah tso ha na (?); Boy a dee bey-at cho lat say-ah, Eh cha-tam vey had cha la." That's the first verse. Does this make sense? I've written it down almost one syllable at a time with each listening. Shoshana Damari's voice is much lower than the one on the tape I have. Much thanks for your efforts. Sheila |

08 Jul 04 - 06:02 PM (#1221708) Subject: RE: Bo Dodi-Israeli folk song From: Rabbi-Sol Sheila, I do not recognize the words from your transliteration. If I saw them written out in Hebrew, I could be more helpful. Try this. Do a Google search for Arutz Sheva Jukebox. The first site that comes up will put you on a page with many archived Israeli songs. Many of these go way back to the early 1950s and there are some from the late 1940s as well. It is all free, but you neeed Windows Media Player to listen. If you locate the song over there, PM me and I will give it a listen. Once I hear it, I should be able to ID it and translate it for you.

09 Jul 04 - 08:14 AM (#1222114) Subject: RE: Bo Dodi-Israeli folk song From: Jack The Lad Wonderful that you found it Artbrooks. I couldnt find it on Israeli search engines- which is hardly surprising as it is a real old folkdance- not popular anymore here. So the least I can do is translate it for anyone interested!( Beat you to it Sol) Bo Dodi Bo dodi alufi hagorna Sham simcha sham tsohala Bo'i yafati bimcholot netsei'a Hachatan vehakala Come my lover, my champion, to the granary There is happiness, there is joy, Come my beautiful one,let us go forth in dance, The groom and the bride---( HaKalah-The bride JTL) T'nu tsilchem harei Efrayim Zamru zemer lakotsrim Ve'atem kochvai shamayim Ronu ronu ladodim Give your shade, O Mountains of Efraim, Sing a song to the harvesters, And you O stars of the sky, Be happy, happy for the lovers. A beautiful song indeed. Jack The Lad -in Israel |

How can I ever thank you enough for what must have been great effort to write out? This brings closure to a 40-year search for a teen-ager who heard but never forgot this song in summer camp. The breadth and scope of Mudcat around the world is truly awesome. Jack The Lad, what does "HaKalah-The Bride JTL" mean? Gratefully yours, Sheila |

09 Jul 04 - 05:19 PM (#1222570) Subject: RE: Bo Dodi-Israeli folk song From: Jack The Lad Well, hello again, then, folks- I'm here on and off- thanks for asking ,Artbrooks. I just won't rise to the bait of all the anti israel and sometimes thinly veiled antisemitic stuff on the mudcat. no time for the chat though i'm afraid. Most of the time i'm busy teaching, producing folk festivals- radio shows etc- trying to do my bit for peace too.Mainly just trying to live- like most of us- how're you all doing? Jack The Lad |

21 Aug 10 - 11:20 AM (#2970032) Subject: RE: Bo Dodi-Israeli folk song From: MGM·Lion Delighted to see this old, long·before·my·time, thread refreshed. Brought back 65-yr-old memory of the tune of 'Bo Dodi", which I recall as perhaps the most beautiful I know [along probably with 'Shebeag & Shemor' and 'Battle Of The Somme']. I remember the dance too ~~ a partner, not a circle, dance, which ended in a sort of modified polka. ~Michael~ |
