[juliaF13]

Beautiful images! Well done

[tedaafts]

hey this so wrong.....the first part of the song is not intended to be used for profit it is gospel not music u can dance and talk about love of a human... :( it is suppose to be for God and yesazenale be america yemetaqre mezafansion......

[innyopti]

Its a musical expression what do you want? Besides, if it makes people feel good w/o the need for drugs etc.. then why not glorify a little gospel here and there.

[70steps2nazretskuul]

[etell221]

I bought a CD that's called Putumayo World Music. One world, many cultures. It's awesome! this song is the second track. I so loved it that I had to look it up here and Im so happy I found it. This song is to my soul what ice cream is to my tongue. Esta padrisima se las recomiendo. Pero cual es el nombre de los artistas? See you all later!!

[minadeseda]

etell: what do you mean with : iceacream in your tongue? and you want to know the musicians manes? trish that doent matter iis a beatiful story.... feel it ... lov

[minadeseda]

muy lindo me encanta todo lo que hacen,,, regalennos mas por mucho tiempo... gracias shalom

[ezrasal815]

i liked it alot but his other songs are as good as this one great it was off the hook..........

[KatieKakes03]

"Come, give me your hand and we will go Don't ask me where Don't ask me about happiness Maybe it will come too When it will come it'll fall upon us like rain. Come, let us embrace and go Don't ask me when Don't ask me about home Don't ask me for time Time does not wait, nor stop or remain."

[louzarr]

"Osher" is "wealth", right? I thought "Simcha" was happiness. My Hebrew's not all that great, though.

[louzarr]

nevermind. "Osher" is different if spelled with an alef or an ayin. I looked up the lyrics in Hebrew, he is saying wealth.

[ezrasal815]

how do you know what they are saying ?????????

[sofyy]

its amharic..Ethiopian langage

can you hear me oh my homland my people can you hear me

(by the woman) -Do you remember when you used to take flowers to mee my lover. Do you remember? We used to stay together embraced the whole night

[MosheNL]

Has been my favourite of all their terrific songs.

[vegabuk]

it's in amharic and hebrew, but i only understand the hebrew part. the hebrew is the part of "boi, tni li yad venelech al tishali oti...." it means: "come, give me your hand and we'll go, don't ask me about wealth, maybe it will come too, but when it will come, it will be above us like a gate..." and so on.

[louzarr]

I think he's saying "geshem" not "gesher"

[vegabuk]

that could be.

[speedosrock1053]

whats beeing said in this song? and what language is it in?

[CognaSith]

It's in both Amharic and Hebrew, not sure as I am currently learning Hebrew and have only a smattering of Amharic.

[rachamim]

Make noi mistake, the group is Jewish. Whether a Jew speaks in Amhraic, Hebrew, or Swahili they will always foremost be Jews. The goyim show us this over and opver. Raichel knows this as well because in our homeland they have gotten much press and have expressed as much.

[wuhateta]

the harp singer is alemu aga google him

[l101177]

does it matter what religion or ethnic group they are from? I just enjoy the music, and look for my own meanings within it...pretty poetic, no?

[fbyk13]

Don't let ourselve fall to dates ....let the dates fall for us

[fbyk13]

Hope brings life! Good advice.

[EthiopianPower]

This song is great!In Ethiopia are Christians,Jewish and Muslims.And nobody has problems with each other.Die Juden in Äthiopien wurden von den Rabbinern in Israel anerkannt.Man nennt sie Falasha.Sie waren schon immer Juden, mussten aber(ca. 1930)zum Christentum übertreten.Das war nicht lange.ZeraYagob.Wenn du keine Ahnung hast,schreibe bitte nichts!Übrigens:Amharisch gehört zur semitischen Gruppe.(hebräisch, arabisch und andere ausgestorbene Sprachen aus dem Raum)

[rachamim]

When Christain Ethiopains have enslaved our Ethiopian Brothers and Sisters , you have no place telling the world that they all get along. Were this only true our Sisters would not have come to Israel with crosses tstooed upon their foreheads FORCIBLY. As for Muslims, lok what you do to Ethiopians and Ertireans..I am all for peace BUT I am for honesty as well!

[gnagniburukani]

At first- in the time of Axumite Kingdom- there was - as religion in the Northen part- the paganism- and also the Hebraism (one of the ancient queen of Ethiopia- was very fmous -Yodit- . The cross in the front of the women is a sign of Christianity andit was not forces. Now, it became also somehow a decoration tatoo in the nrthen part of Ethiopia (wollo)

[gnagniburukani]

..and the fcat that is some Highlanders in Ethiopoa wear tatoo crosses is to -identify themselves - in case of any acidental depths during the long travels -made by mule/or by feet- just to be ensured to be buried in the right way- ensuring them the right procesures for the funerals. It was not obliged.

[asterchereka]

@rachamim Just for the love "history" ..They do not enslave none... as you might know..by studying yr own history..in the centures there is a superemacy of one dynasty and then another one..at first axumite were Pagans..the Hebrewy and then Christians and once again Hbrew (during ten Quieen Yodit)..so its just a question of the power of one regnat dynasty in comparison to another one..So, PLEASE avoid using these bad words..and just see where Ethiopian Jews have been based ....ok?, Juse before..

[asterchereka]

@rachamim ...opening yr mouth and speaking avout Christian Ethiopians..just study yr won history then the one of others..It is just a question of "an economic supremacy" like IT IS NOWADYS... who plays the most important "role" in this world ?IT WAS A PAST & JUST LOOK AT WHAT YOU DID in yr own history before judging the others. Just a question: in the 80thies the Ethipians (JEWS) where have been settled ? In the Strip of GAZA..no?

[GruntO331]

read "The Israelis" by Donna Rosenthal. She has whole chapter about Ethiopean Jews and their Exodus. Amazing story. I have met some Ethiopean Jews - wonderful people, all.

It would be good to preserve original music - Idan Raichel is great, but there is the culture and history too.

[ZeraYaqob]

The Ethiopian segments of Idan Raichel's songs are Amharic songs. The ethnic group in Ethiopia responsible for the Amharic language are the Amharas and they are overwhelmingly Christian

[bolekid]

who knows if they christians. There Ethiopians, where Muslims, Christians and Jews live.Anyways great music.

[zgordon22]

This song is my longing for all the fragmented parts of the soul of our universe. These Hebrew words that I barely understand combined with the Ethiopian reverberate as the longing within for my existentially significant brothers and sisters, the Beautiful Jewish souls of my immediate family and my extended family, ubiquitous, universal (wo)man.

I miss my homeland.; the land of Zion, the land of my sleeping love. The land that I am estranged from. Peace and love to you all in each tear.

[zgordon22]

This song inspires my longing for all the fragmented parts of our combined souls, the soul of the universe. The words in Hebrew that i barely understand and those in Ethiopian that I know nothing at all of express the longing within for my existential brothers and sisters; the Beautiful Jewish souls of my immediate family and ubiquitous (wo)man, my extended family.

I miss my homeland. The land of Zion. The land that I am estranged from. Peace upon you.

[mclainrose]

Yeah i deffinitly can dig this song, it's so relaxing, and with a great message

[gnagniburukani]

The Ethiopian part (amharic langage) tells:

can you hear me- oh my homland- my people- can you hear me- Please give me a sign (this was the part sang by the man at first). Then, there is just the spoken amhraic partt (by the woman) whic says:

Do you remember when you used to take flowers to mee- my lover ? Do you remember ? We used to stay together -embraced te whole night!

[mclainrose]

Wow, thanks!

[Poscracker]

[sofyy]

BEAUTIFULLLLLLL

[gingerhairs]

beautiful song...but I'm not syre what the buildings are...if they are all Christian, Jewish, Muslim or mixed

[sofyy]

all Christian. the one they are showing most is Mary of Zion.

[ZahiraSejmet]

are they christian?? wow... is difficult to find Christian artist so good as them...

[Tehillavan]

No, he's Jewish. The buildings are xtian

[Alformaio]

u probably love britney spears.Let me tell you she is cristian.

[eli844]

all the pictures in the clip are of palces in ethiopia. All Idan raichel"s music is original and soul moving. I originally did the clip for a rastafarian friend that is inlove with ethiopia.

[asterchereka]

@gingerhairs tHE FIRST BUILDING YOU SAW IS A CHURCH IN AXUM..ST MARY OF TSION..BUT THE BASE OF ETHIOPIAN CHRISTIANISM IS THE HEBREW RELIGION..SO U CAN FIND A LOT OF LINKS

[jayctrl]

this is pretty cool
