Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hava nagila, hava nagila, hava nagila, venishmecha
Hava naranena, hava naranena, hava naranena, venishmecha
Hava naranena, hava naranena, hava naranena, venishmecha
Bien, bien, je suis si bien que ma joie devient complète
Près de toi le temps s'arrête, dans tes bras je perds la tête
Serre-moi jusqu'au jour, danse danse danse mon amour
Dansons car dans les granges le blé se range
Dansons sur cette terre fertile et fière
Qui reverra d'autres sillons
Dansons sans plus penser au mal qu'on s'est donné
Pour faire lever ce grain qu'on vendra demain
Dansons cheveux au vent et si de temps en temps
Ton corps serre mon corps juste un peu plus fort
Uru, uru achim, uru achim, belev sameach
Uru achim belev sameach, uru achim, belev sameach
Uru achim ! uru achiiiiiim
Belev sameeeeaaaaach.
(Merci à Hélène pour cettes paroles)

The lines "bien, bien, je suis si bien que ma joie devient complète / près de toi le temps s'arrête, dans tes bras je perds la tête" (translation: "well, well, I am so well that my joy becomes complete / near you time stops, in your arms I lose my head") add a romantic dimension to the song, expressing the idea that true joy comes from being in the presence of loved ones and being able to embrace them fully. This underscores the broader theme of community and togetherness that the song represents, highlighting the importance of shared experience and celebration.
