Song Of The Sephardi

[claudiocruz1948]

Viene, viene con com la dulce viento del viejo tienpo de venturas.

[rosiebeh7]

One of my grandmothers used to play a similar game on the fingers like in this video. I wish I could find out more information as far as my ancestors are concerned, and if in fact they are Sephardic Jews.

[kailahsahar]

Beautiful song!

[mierpaul]

Is this theme song sung in Ladino?

[abatele]

yes

[768SOLIKA]

wow! Such a beautiful voice and video!

I loved the clip with Grandma playing the game w/the little boy!

It brought back so many memories of my childhood in Morroco when my mom played it with me and later with my children.

Thank you!

ooh dios, que repelus de cancion, que asco por dios

[TurkEvim]

Thank you for this beautiful video. Gracias...Toda rabba...

[haegle1]

Esa Cancion es Rara me parece como que otras canciones En Espanol que nos cantaban las abuelas se hubiesen deribado de esta.

[DeweyDecibal1]

thank you for this Great song..

[ZoNLove07]

you know something, after watching it again, I just realized that little game with the grandma..it kinda reminds me of something my grandmother used to do with us as little ones, I just can't remember!

[candyannie100]

this game called "This Little Pig" my grandmother also play this with me.

[seferrikud]

Entre los sefardies, la cancion que se usa con el juego de los dedos sigue asi:

A donde vas, hijo del Dio?

Para meldar la ley del Dio

El Dio que te guadre

A ti y tu padre

Y a tu madre que te pario!

En Ladino (judeo-espanol), el judio sefardi dice 'Dio' en vez de 'Dios'. 'Meldar' es estudiar.

[haegle1]

esto es raro.

Judeo Espanol....Ladino...Esto acaso se difundio por america latina tambien????

[Garc1993]

Sí. Se expandió por varios países latinoamericanos.

[aracy54]

lo que hace la abuelita con su nieto, el juego de los dedos, lo hacemos en España en la actualidad.... :este es el pare, esta es la mare, este demana pa, este diu que non hiá, y el pequeño: corrinchinchet corrinchinchet que la mare ten donará un poquet. (esta envalenciano)

[Anuskadublin]

Si, esta parte del video me encanta. A mi me encantaba de pequena que me hicieran eso y me alegro de que esa tradicion se mantenga todavia. Gracias por poner la cancion en valenciano que nunca lo habia visto hasta ahora

[lunablou79]

[Babejuda]

Beautiful voice and song. Great tribute to Grandmother Chana.

The lost world of the Sefaradim and the potentially dying language of Ladino.

[PanyV1no]

ermoza kantika.a la una yo nasi, las dos me en engrandesi....

Reminds us about how brief the live is comparing it to the hours of a lock,at one we born, and two we grow..

[Kilikimakos]

[oclandestin]

What a lovely song and story. It would be nice to know the lyrics.

[seferrikud]

The title of the Ladino sing is: "A la una yo naci" ("At One I Was Born")

The lyrics are:

A la una yo naci

A las dos me engrandeci

A las tres tomi amante

A las cuatro me cazi

At one I was born

At two I grew up

At three I took a lover

At four I was married.

[oclandestin]

This is Rivka Raz singing. She is the best singer of Ladino songs EVER.
