Yemeni Jews singing and dancing: A performance of the Yemenite Troupe.
Here is a “simple” translation of the Yemeni Dialect part–I need help with the Hebrew part (some words are translated based on the way the performers pronounce them, which is in some parts “questionable”)
Note: the words in parentheses are added for clarification:
Down (the hill or mountain) I went
To the stream
To water my horse–
My foot slipped
And I fell into the water.
I went to propose (engagement)
But they rejected me,
(and) my “qat” (a stimulant)
And the “mada3ah” (water-pipe)
Although I’m the son of a Chief
The son of a Jew.
I went to propose
Carrying my qat and the mada3ah
But the bad guys
Made a fool of me.
Sweet heart and the apple of my eye
Tell those who made you
Think bad of me:
Who of you would entertain me?
From the early dawn
She got angry with me
And went cry–
Got angry–oh darkness (of the night)
Out of sight is my beloved.
For a year and two months,
Never returned.
Alas people
She left
And deserted me.
To whom shall I complain,
And would understand me?
Before whom shall I cry,
And would pity me?
And who of you
Would entertain me.
