Tonight is the night
to raise our hands to the heavens:
Halailah Zeh Hazman by Gadi Elbaz & Alon De Loco. Israeli rap.
I don't like rap, at all. Generally, it just ticks me off, the beat, the words, the style, the rhythm of rap is made to tick you off. But this is Israeli, so its different. I wouldn't even call it rap, and it didn't tick me off, it made me feel good, so good that I was bouncing around in my chair!
In the comments on YouTube, the arabs accuse the Israelis of stealing their music style and using the music to put down arabs. Pretty funny, since its not Israelis and arabs in the video, its Hasidic Jews and non-Hasidic Jews, the ultra religious and the not. The song is about coming together. "Tonight is the night to raise our hands to the heavens."
I'm looking for a clear translation of the lyrics, haven't found them yet.
