[zaq1221]

マイム・マイム

[cortom2210]

Water, water, water, water,

we drinken liever bier!

(Alternative lyrics as sung in Belgium)

[GUBOB222]

[communistrecords]

What's with the radiation symbol in the back?

[ThatPurplyThing]

My frosh pe class made us dance this once during a folk dancing unit. We kept running into each other and stepping on toes. XD

[chocoXDcoco]

[GoldenPickaxe]

AND THEN HE BEAT THE CRAP

[Mikrogrimm]

What does Mayim mean?

[Hageulah]

@Mikrogrimm - Mayim = water - The Song "Mayim, Mayim" sings about "let us draw water out of the spring of the good..." it's a Psalm...

[TheJoedays]

lebanese dance better.

[jklmnop9999]

OMAKE!

[Hageulah]

@jklmnop9999 - in my mind the Israeli Dances are more different and more beautiful, because they integrate all kinds of traditonal and modern folklore

[saturnmasonALT]

GAME BOY CAMERA!

[RushAnthem69]

@saturnmasonALT BALL!

[Juliaflo]

[koletso]

Great.

[immerallein101]

Do you know who sings this version of the song?

[Hageulah]

Sorry, I don't know it exactly, because I have this old sung Version on a music-cassette. But I think it's sung by Karmon Israeli Singers and Dancers, but perhaps by Ha Gevatron or Ha Parvarim?

[ahavarikud]

[Sanchuniathon]

The song means, "Draw water for rejoicing, from the springs of redemption."

[dancingforkenji]

Exactly, i`m japanese and so moved finding this on youtube:-D

we didnt know so many things about the background information like this comes from israeli culture but hearing the melody start, immidiately people can dance to it with singing "mayim mayim...!" this makes japanese people happier as well! XD

[koalaoyaji3]

Do you know that most Japanese learn this dance in elementary school? It is a much slower version though but almost anyone in Japan can recognize this music and can dance to it!

[Hageulah]

yes, I know that Japanese people love Israeli dances. I saw them dancing "Lechu Neranena" - funny! Dance 4yourLive! Mirjam

[bluelagoon69]

お前は馬鹿か？野蛮な戦争をした我国は、終戦後日本人は、廃人に­なり、元気付けに米軍が教えたダンスだ。

瞬く間に全国に知られたんだよ、米国に感謝するべき。

[riqudamisraeli]

Subarashii!

[MUSH6]

so family..

[AvoidEmbarassment]

do you know where i could find this music?

thanks!

[Hageulah]

write me an Email and I'll sent it to you as a mp3.file... Mirjam

[JoMarieM]

As an American, I find it an incredible thing to see Jews dancing in the streets of Berlin, in a country that only a few decades ago tried its best to wipe them off the face of Europe. This is a beautiful picture of the resilency of the Jewish people - and concrete proof that Hitler's sadistic scheme didn't succeed. This is a wonderful video clip - I really enjoyed watching it!

[Hageulah]

On this Video you can see Dancers while dancing the old Pioneer-Dance "Mayim Mayim", but they are Germans and Christians within only 2 or 3 Jews. The wonderful music and the merry Israeli Dances connect them all together ! We are glad, that now in Germany Jews and Christians could be dance together and have a good Relationship ! Mirjam

[Netzar89]

That's awesome...I learned the dance a little different though.

[Hageulah]

Hi, our Video shows the Israeli Dance "Mayim, Mayim" like the Choreographer have made it. But a Dance sometimes will a little bit changed by the time and with the people, who dance it. It doesn' t matter, so the Israeli Dances will live in countries all over the world with the people, who love these merrry Dances....

[francisfeybli]

You are right,

Elsie Dublin choreographed the Dance in 1937 little differently.

wish you a nice day

Francis look at vaw-online. ch
