Medley: Exodus/Havah Negilah (Dance, Everyone Dance) Songtext
von Connie Francis

When I was a little girl, I used to live in a neighborhood in Brooklyn
On Utica and St. Mark′s Avenue
There we go, yay, for Brooklyn
That was 40 percent Jewish and 40 percent Italian
The other 20 percent of the people were foreigners
Nobody ever knew where they came from

Anyway, from my mother and daddy
I learned some very pretty Italian songs
And from my neighboring Lantsman
Especially at all the weddings
I learned some very exciting Jewish melodies

Sheyn vi di levone
Likhtik vi di shtern
Fun himl a matone
Bistu mir tzugeshikt


Dayne tzeyndelekh
Vays vi perelekh
Mit dayne sheyne oygn
Dayne heyndelekh, dayne herelekh
Hot mikh tzugetzoygn

Sheyn vi di levone
Likhtik vi di shtern
Fun himl a matone
Bistu mir tzugeshikt

Bistu mir tzugeshikt!

Hava nagila, hava nagila

Hava neranenah, hava neranenah
Hava neranenah, ve-nismeḥa
Hava neranenah, hava neranenah
Hava neranenah, ve-nismeḥa
