Avishai Cohen, Morenika - Fnac Montparnasse

[@homesanto]

Ladino, bella lengua, español del siglo XV que se entiende perfectamente en el XXI.

[@ppaattaarr]

Sefarad means a lot to me and his way of singing is really touchy. Keep up the good work Avishai. *shalom*

Ladino and hebrew are very profound and graceful! its always amazing me how strong and sweet is the Jewish music.

utterly gorgeous. what a phenomenal arrangement and adaptation!!

[@Choupette61]

The song is a very ancient Sefardic song based on Shir Hashirim , song of songs. song of King Salomon, people who who have read it understand the connection between Morenica שחרחורת and Shir hashirim and the spiritual message of it

I've attended great jazz concerts where Avishai Cohen played bass. I needed a mysterious name for a woman in the 16th C. mystery I'm writing, set in Sephardi Istanbul. I came across the name Morenika, then found this. Gorgeous, evocative. Now someone sings the song in the story. I'll include mention of finding this KZbin version of the song in the book's research notes.

[@mimiandthemuse]

Morenika a mi me llaman yo blanca naci ("Dark one" they cal me though I was born white) porque bajo el sol del verano yo me hice asi (because under the summer sun I became this way) morenika, graciosika sos morena yo, graciosa y hoxos pretos tu. ("dark one", pretty you are, dark and pretty am I, and black eyed are you.) morenika a mi me llaman los marineros si otra vez a mi me llaman me voy con ellos ("dark one" call me the sailors, if they call me again, I will go with them)

[@mimiandthemuse]

Directly from wikipedia especially for iconoclastaacrata. Ladino, a Sephardic language also known as Judaeo-Spanish, primarily spoken among Sephardic Jews, or for the written form used in religious texts and translations. Ladino es la lengua Sefardita tambien conocida como Judeo-Espanol, hablado primordialmente por Judios Sefarditas o por la forma escrita y usada en traducciones y textos religiosos.

apostaria algo a que muchas de las canciones que canta en español provienen del medievo y que han seguido siendo cantadas de padres a hijos por judios sefarditas, una tradicion que en España se ha perdido y que ellos sin embargo conservan, no solo envidiablemente si no que son dignos de la más absoluta admiración por parte de todos los hispanohablantes y estudiosos de la cultura española en todo el mundo. desde aqui mi más profunda admiración y respeto para este gran músico israelita

love this song! Avishai Cohen has so beautiful melodies and songs in his albums! the sense of Morenica here is for the skin and not the hair, in spanish we can say for a girl "morena de pelo" (dark haired), or "morena de piel" (dark skinned), in this case it takes his sense with "the sun darkened me" (skin, not hair for sure :)

I'm not sure, but from the little hebrew and spanish, I think it says approximatly: My skin is dark I was born white And the sun darkened me My skin is dark And I'm graceful Dark is full of grace It seems to me a ladino variation on the song of songs, 2 chapter: I'm black and beautiful, daughter of Jerusalem (...) Don't be scornful, the sun burnt me, etc.

[@nuno-andre]

Spain never belonged to the Ottoman Empire. This language is spoken by the descendants of the jews expulsed from Spain and Portugal in 1942. This language, called judeospanish not ladino, isn't a mix of spanish and hebrew. It's the medieval spanish with little influences of many other languages (and the influence of hebrew not being bigger than turkish, arabic or french). Any Spaniard can understand a judeospanish speaker with very few problems.

[@homesanto]

El decreto de expulsión para los judíos de Castilla y Aragón es del año 1492, de Portugal serían expulsados cinco años más tarde, en 1497. Poco antes habían sido expulsados de la Provenza. Los reinos ibéricos fueron los últimos de Europa occidental en vetar las comunidades judías: Inglaterra y Francia lo habían hecho siglos antes. Sólo Holanda, Polonia o el Imperio Otomano eran tierra de acogida para los judíos.

[@simonweizman3202]

Judeo-Spanish is Ladino, it's the same thing, so is Judezmo, etc. Yes, it's medieval Spanish mainly, (also called Castillian Spanish) but it was mainly spoken by Jews and having a bigger influence of Hebrew than the other languages it is made up of, but yes any Spaniard probably could understand a Ladino speaker, as out of all of the languages that came from Jews mixing with their respective countries, it changed the least from the countries native tongue.

@kingkeith666 I can't understand so well because it appears to be written in spanish (argentinian) and portuguese,and a verse in hebrew. Maybe an old sephardi (hebrew-iberian) dialect. I've finded this translation to english,but although is not literal,it keeps the heart of the song:

Being really accurate, it is not really singing in spanish as we speak it today. The language is called Ladino and it is spoken by the Sefaradim (jews from what it was the Ottoman Empire which had a big part of Spain) Still today it is spoken by a large community in Israel which has their own radio station etc... Ladino is a mix of spanish and hebrew same as Yiddish is a mix of old German with hebrew.

[@homesanto]

Spain has never been part of the Ottoman Empire, what a nonsense. Spanish Jews arrived in cities and villages of the Ottoman Empire across the Mediterranean and Europe only after 1492, when jewish communities in Castile and Aragon came to extinction by royal decree.

[@alvar534]

I can see you know nothing of european history. Spain was during the xvi and xvii the greatest power of the world, with territories in all known continents, and half of europe was under spanish rule. As a matter of fact, it was spain who saved europe from the ottomans, by defeating them in Lepanto and other battles(the defense of Malta for instance, performed mostly by spanish troops). What happened was that the expelled jews scattered across the mediterranean , and brought their old spanish languages with them)
