Gevolt - Tum Balalaika

[knightofchrist1122]

repent for your sin.

[MrRavendorify]

When you listen carefully you can hear German Words.. :D

[Great1holiday00]

this was played when hitler commited suicide :D

[31fan5k1y]

something like this at eurovision would be PERFECT.

[RatWhisperer1976]

In Extremo's Michael and Rammstein's Till are great, but Anatholy's voice is the greatest! I love it!

[FISHYBOOMband]

Sounds like the Israeli In Extremo. Awesome!

[JackieBlue4u2]

A Yiddish folk song. A Balalaika is a Russian instrument, like a banjo I think, but with a bowl bottom. "Tum" is like the sound it makes and "shpiel" is "Play". "Frelach Zol Zein" Happiness will be. "Tum! Tum! Play the Balalaika and you'll be happy!" Yes, Gevolt. You make us happy!! LOL My old yiddisha momma loves you, too!

[pakakos]

the singer voice is amazing

[mindlessfanangelspit]

Lol this is simular to rammstein

[Hassidboy]

Hehe... Finally, a metal band for Yiddish speakers...

[jsteele07189]

@napolitanpig thanks. there's this band called Meshuggah and I heard it's a word but I always wondered. Thanks!

[sashi128]

thank you for your art. i am a religious jew and im going to learn some yiddish next year. anyway, it is important than this language (which was the language of learning for jews in europe for hundreds of years) be preserved, because it is a fusion of german and hebrew, making it a holy language.

[FunyOzio]

omg its like a german from bayern is talking :D

[alex019]

great song

[jpz38t]

all of their songs should be like this with the folk instruments and traditional rhythym

[Dastyish]

Yiddish forever!

[tommerenator]

@jsteele07189 It's Hebrew. It means crazy. "משוגע"

It has an ע

('Ayin)

at the end, which is a guttural letter, but most Israelis don't bother pronouncing it correctly.

[fafayt]

are there many klezmer metal bands?

[SingingStorm39]

hahaha this is AWESOME and funny for me - I'm used to listening to this kind of music in a more traditional way - definitely not so metal Rammstein like - but I love it!

[bigyair]

to all the non jews:

Hebrew: Original language of the 12 tribes of israel prayer tounge of the jews and the sammarians and main language tooday i israel. The language was created from the "Aramic" language of the cannatian tribes.

Iddish: Language of the jews who lived in europe a mix of German, Hebrew and Arammic. The main influence of the language is from German since talking hebrew was forbidden by the jews during the middle ages and was allowed to be used only in prayers.

[NatiProductions]

im from israel and this sound wierd to me too O.O

[deathtoislam1000]

@NatiProductions if you it sounds wierd to you then either somthing wrong with you or you have grown in a jachnon :)

[NatiProductions]

@deathtoislam1000

try speaking hebrew than speaking yeddish.

those two languges sounds completly not like eachother.

[deathtoislam1000]

@NatiProductions im an israeli you really think you can surprise me with how yeddish sounds?

just an example

crazy is yeddish= meshuggah

crazy in hebrew= meshuggah

sounds pretty similar to me

[DamageInc0rparat3d]

Not to mention Meshuggah's a good band...

[justflow99]

@deathtoislam1000 crazy in yiidish = meshigine

[deathtoislam1000]

[justflow99]

@deathtoislam1000

[jsteele07189]

Jewish metal wtf

[HebrewFatherland]

@shkipahn

Actually this is Jewish European Folk Metal,the music that got alot of influence from European music language and atmosphere.

Real Jewish Metal that dates back to Jewish glorious legacy with more middle eastern music and Hebrew in some songs are bands like "Orphaned land"

From Israel

Or more aggressive and Millitiant bands like Golgolot

[XxmasterproxX]

YIDDISH!! the languague of jewish people that lived in Germany

[fwnm8]

interesting versin of german, this language is..:)

[xyopea]

@fwnm8 Yiddish is based on German, among other languages.

[ChaimDov613]

@fwnm8,

As others have said it is Yiddish. Yiddish is a Jewish language that comes from Old German and has some Hebrew words and grammar thrown in. It is usually written in Hebrew characters. There are also usually local variations, and given this is a Russian Jewish band out of Israel singing an old Russian Yiddish folk song I'd guess there is a good chance that some Russian may be in there as well.

[ThemasterDood]

Sounds like a mix between System of a Down and Rammstein, but from Israel.

[HebrewFatherland]

@ThemasterDood

Actually Yiddish is not our language,only the old mostly ashkenazi(European) Jews understand it,we don't,our language is Hebrew.

[jkoh]

Cute song heh. Reminds me of SOAD

[karelsson]

[iClassicPkerx7]

[benyehuda111]

@iClassicPkerx7 

[mansonjoselito]

[Aragorn266]

@mansonjoselito Strum the balalaika (string instrument, bit like a guitar)

[SchnitzelCat]

@Aragorn266 i have one that i play every day... THEY R OSSUM

After all, Yiddish is eternal.
