Thread Name: Bo Dodi-Israeli folk song
Subject: RE: Bo Dodi-Israeli folk song
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)
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.
