Who says an aliyah blog has to be all serious, all the time? Enjoy this so-cheesy-it’s-great retro music video, detailing the unfortunate life of a child whose parents love to travel around Israel, leaving her running to catch up.
However cheesy it may be, I almost tear up at the refrain:
| אבא, אמא קצת יותר לאט | Father, mother a little more slowly (thanks to Google translate) |
Another favourite, that almost makes me wish I’d had an Israeli childhood, is this even sillier song, which really has nothing to do with Israel; it’s a Hebrew variation on the “one in the bed and the little one said – move over!” I love this funky-retro combo of hairy, fully-clad TV-host adults co-sleeping with puppets…
Here, Google somewhat fails at its translating task:
| Hebrew: במיטה אחת לא כל כך גדולה | My (real) translation: In one bed, not so very big, [were] four sillies, tra-la-la-la-la… | Google Translate: One bed is not so great; |
Oh-kay… Enjoy!
My 4 year old's ganenet plays song #1 all the time!
ReplyDeleteI learned an Israeli Folk Dance to the song as a child in Toronto so the song holds fond memories for me :-).
