Your not secular! Your just a Jew! Sooner we rid ourselves of labels...Orthodox, liberal, reform, etc...and just be Jewish the better our world will be! Doing mitzvahs and "being Orthodox" doesn't make you any more of a Jewish person, andore then doing less mitzvahs makes you less of a Jewish person.

Translation is tricky, because it's a song full of inside jokes. Basically, Sefardic Jews and Ashkenazic Jews have developed slightly different ways of saying a lot of the same expressions, and every line references each vernacular with the identifier "Oh Sefardi/Oh Ashkenazi" after it. Even the refrain "Tantz Habibi" pays homage to this: It means "Dance, My Friend" but the word for "dance" is Yiddish and the word "My Friend" is Hebrew. With that in mind, here's a rough translation/lyrics: Shetehei LiMazal ("It should be with good fortune"-Sefardic blessing) Imyitz Hashem By Dir ("G-d-willing, by you"-Ashkenazic blessing) Et HaChatan Oh Sefardi ("The Bridegroom"-a Sefardic wedding song) Kallah Noeh Ashkenazi ("The Lovely Bride"-an Ashkenazic wedding song) Rochel Imeinu Oh Sefardi ("Rachel Our Mother"-Sefardic reference to the Matriarch) Mameh Rochel Ashkenazi ("Mama Rachel"-Ashkenazic reference to the Matriarch) Baba Sali Oh Sefardi ("Baba Sali"-recent Sefardic Rabbi and mystic) Rabbi Nachman Ashkenazi ("Rabbi Nachman"-recent Ashkenazic Rabbi and mystic) Shetihay Limazal Oh Sefardi ("It should be with good fortune"-Sefardic blessing) Imyitz Hashem By Dir Ashkenazi ("G-d-willing, by you"-Ashkenazic blessing) Yaala Yaala Yaalili... [as far as I know, this is meaningless expression of joy] G'ina G'ina Oh Sefardi (Title of a Sefardic wedding song) Od Yishama Ashkenazi (Title of an Ashkenazic wedding song) Yossi Avi Oh Sefardi ("Father Yossi"-reference to Sefardic singer Yossi Piamenta) Yom Hashmini Ashkenazi ("Eighth Day"-reference to the Ashkenazic band singing) Moadim Lesimcha Oh Sefardi ("Holidays For Joy"-Sefardic seasonal greeting) Ah Gut Yontif Ashkenazi ("A Good Holiday"-Ashkenazic seasonal greeting)

+Joshua A. Krisch Thank you kindly!

[@wiyanwakan9203]

+Elisheva Johansson Ya' alili " as I understood it is " God willing, it will be." That's why in the beginning the guy is having a bad day and he tells him to "try Ya' alili." If God wants it, it will be. Basically, let go and let God-.

Oh, thank you kindly for that! :)

[@wiyanwakan9203]

One correction: "Yossi Avi" refers to the brothers Yossi and Avi Piamenta, two great Sefardi singers. (Sadly, Yossi passed away in 2015.)

The Ashkenaz were a group of Sephardic tribes that emerged in ancient Mesopotamia. Before Christ. They worked and had many autonomies in Mesopotamia, instituting their own laws. Mesopotamia is modern day Morocco. At one point, it was in India, but that was before a phenomenon i.e. pangaea. Much of their servants came from Morocco, and its vicinity.

Your cousins in America, Mamanatowic, would dance all week to this music. The ONLY SPNG I ever heard that I loved being Stuck In Mi Mind. After the first encounter with this song, it's become my favorite.

[@0lderSch00l]

I am not Jewish, I speak neither Yiddish nor Hebrew, and I found this song to be an utter kick in the ass. On the surface it's catchy and fun. Going deeper, I could tell by the structure of the song itself that there was a comparison taking place and by the video I could tell it was very much a "you say tOmAtO, and I say tamatO" type of situation. I did my research and found that I was basically correct. I now know more about Jewish culture and tradition than I did 20 minutes ago. I call that a win on all sides. Liked and subscribed.
