[yutsis]

sorry, it removes line feeds

[ShmelevJr]

Someone pleeeease post the lyrics, I love the song and I'm simply dying for them.

[guitarguy098]

reminds me of italian folk songs! excellent!

[xxnecspenecmetuxx]

@guitarguy098 because it is an italian folk song indeed! it's called "ballo di mantova" or "la mantovana" (also known as "fuggi, fuggi"), written in 1600 by giuseppino del biado. it became a huge hit in renaissance europe and almost every country made its own version of the original tune (sweden, poland, romania...)

[yutsis]

It's a good test for musical hearing. The people with hearing will confirm that either Hatikvah is based on this song, or vice versa. The people without hearing will deny it, or suggest other versions.

[vdrobull]

@yutsis There`s no need of that. Samuel Cohen(composer of Hatikvah) himself said that he has inspired from a Romanian folk song(but could not remember its name-most resembling are this song and "cucuruz cu frunza sus"). Also the Lyrics of Hatikvah were written in Iasi, Romania(home of the first-ever Yiddish-language newspaper and of the world’s first professional Yiddish-language theatre). Israel and Romania are more related than you think...

[yutsis]

@vdrobull If you suggest "Cucuruz" instead of this song, you didn't pass the test ;)

[muurtalo]

@vdrobull "Inspired" means "stolen" in jewish? LOL!

[OyVey666Revival]

@muurtalo It's not "stolen". Give it a break already.

[northforge]

@OyVey666Revival Fine, the melody was "borrowed".

[rotemsh1]

@muurtalo

cut the bullshit dude...if we did steal it.. why would we learn it's romanian folk...don't you think people want to deny it!

every one here knows where it came from! it's nothing to be a shame on...many jews are romanian and it has a great sounds!

[Volumep]

@rotemsh1 You're right. It is stupid to say "Israel stole it"... it's just a song. We can sing it, you can sing it. And as long as you recognise it's origins, i can't see where the problem is.

Good luck.

[rotemsh1]

@Volumep

yeah, the question what is the origin of the anthem appeared in a test we had in school...

also in tv shows...really nothing to be a shame of...it is like saying some languages stole the latin letters from latin people i know...

good luck to you too mate!

plus i have been last month in romania amazing state!

[rotemsh1]

@yutsis

yeah every israeli kid learn at school it's actually a romanian folk....

we like romania so i don't see any problem plus it's a good music :D

[3wL7]

Versurile nu sunt din folclor, ci sunt compuse de cineva. Cred ca versurile originale sunt cele ale cantecului "Cucuruz cu frunza-n sus".

[Romanisipunctum]

Splendid!

Thank you!
