עת במחלות נשתעשע | Et ba-mholot nishta'shea | Let's Enjoy Dancing (1912)

Artist: Abraham Zvi Idelsohn (1882-1938)

Lyrics: From Ha-Zamir

Tune: Ben-Yehuda

Hebrew translation (PDF)

The lyrics of “'Et ba-mholot nishta'shea'” were published in Ha-Zamir (1903: p. 17), with dance instructions for children. Idelsohn omitted these instructions in Sefer Ha-Shirim.

In the song, the home and its contents dance: stove, closet, chairs, table, sofa, and a pot on the shelf, all move to the melody. The happy melody is in a minor key.
