Yemeni Jewish Dance

Uploaded by: yemenfelix
Video Description:
Yemeni Jews singing and dancing: A performance of the Yemenite Troupe.
Here is a "simple" translation of the Yemeni Dialect part--I need help with the Hebrew part (some words are translated based on the way the performers pronounce them, which is in some parts "questionable") Note: the words in parentheses are added for clarification: Down (the hill or mountain) I
went To the stream To water my horse-- My foot slipped And I fell into the water. I went to propose (engagement) But they rejected me, (and) my "qat" (a stimulant) And the "mada3ah" (water-pipe) Although I'm the son of a Chief The son of a Jew. I went to propose Carrying my qat and the mada3ah B
ut the bad guys Made a fool of me. Sweet heart and the apple of my eye Tell those who made you Think bad of me: Who of you would entertain me? From the early dawn She got angry with me And went cry-- Got angry--oh darkness (of the night) Out of sight is my beloved. For a year and two months, Neve
r returned. Alas people She left And deserted me. To whom shall I complain, And would understand me? Before whom shall I cry, And would pity me? And who of you Would entertain me.
