Yofyafisa

The song Yofyafisa by Shalsheles.
I love this song and was a little bored last night, so I made a "video" of the CD cover with random effects.
It's not the best, but then again, it's not really supposed to be. As I said, I was bored. =D
lol.
The song is track 5 on "Shalsheles Volume IV" for anyone who wants to know!
I hope you enjoy the randomness of my life!

Wonderful song. I just have one question: What does "yofyafisa" mean?

[Brooque613]

@KyuchiBeri The word "yofyafisa" comes from the root word "yafeh" which means beauty. The song comes from psalm 45:3 and is all in Hebrew. In this usage, the word is used as "you are the most beautiful".

A breakdown of the song is as follows:

Yofyafisa - you are the most beautiful

Mi b'nei adam - of all the men

Hutzak chen b'sifsosecha - grace is poured upon your lips

Al ken - therefor

Berachicha Elokim - God has blessed you

L'olam - forever

Hope that helps!

:o)

@Brooque613 Thank you so much. I appreciate your translation a lot :)

[Brooque613]

@KyuchiBeri My pleasure! Glad I could help. =)

@Brooque613 it SHOULD be pronounced yafya'Fi-TA. beautiful one (feminine)

so should Sif-to-tai-cha and not sifsosecha.

[Brooque613]

@gavers23 It's all semantics. I mean, the pronunciation really depends on whether you're using the Israeli or the ashkenazi pronunciation.

Also, the psalm is written in male format not female format.

OMG! I feel so proud to be a Jew! LOL, that was random but I just wanted to say that...

Sometimes when I listen to these cute (alright...GESHMAK) Jewish songs-I feel so proud! My grandparents always tell me over stories from the HOLOCAUST-and they say how Hitler's dream was to totally eliminate anything considered JEWISH! That includes Jewish songs! And now look at us..we're talking about how much we enjoy listening to this JEWISH SONG! This is exactly what he didn't want! Remember that guys!

Different dialects pronounce the tav as a "t" sound versus an "s" sound.
