Re: Abba Shimon Lyrics
The lyrics need some proofreading in both the Yemenite and Hebrew.

Re: Abba Shimon Lyrics
We'll need someone who is familiar with the lyrics. There are "end letters" in the middle of a word and vice versa, missing vowels and extraneous punctuation(?).

Re: Abba Shimon Lyrics
It would be really great if someone can use english letters so that we can know how to pronounce the words.
IE: abba shimmon kun be-u-nee ...
I have been listening to the song over and over while trying to read along and I still can't figure it out. (I guess my Yemenite is a little rusty)

Re: Abba Shimon Lyrics
You guys are so funny you crack me up.
I actually first learned the song from my Yemenite friends in high school. They sing it on Shabbis and I used to try and sing along with them, because I was good with the accent, and they liked that- an Ashkenazi english speaking kid singing in Yemenite. I always loved the songs. I love the whole middle eastern sound. They also taught me the dance they do to it called the "Da-assa". Anyway, I don't know why I'm telling you all of this. But my advice is: if you want to learn the lyrics, listen a bunch of times and try and write them down in a way you can read them and memorize them. That's how I did it from the original, sung by Tzion Golan.
Good luck.
Yehuda.

 Re: Abba Shimon Lyrics
Hi, Yehuda.
Thanks for the reply.
When I sing, I prefer to accurately sing the words to a song. I also want to know what they mean. Since I'm Latino  and Yemenite is not my first language, it is difficult to learn the lyrics of a song by listening to it repeatedly. So, any help you could give would be truly appreciated (sorry, I don't currently have any Yemenite friends  ).

p.s. Hatzlacha raba on your Ft. Lauderdale concert. Looking forward to seeing Moshav Band in L.A. soon!!!
