TEN LI BADARBUKA
PLAY THE DARBUKA (ORIENTAL DRUM)
   

Verse 1
Orot balayla mazminim oti lirkod
ve'et hakos hamele'a tamid lirot
Ani zoreket me'alai hakol
veshochachat li miyom etmol
Venosa'at levalot li begadol

Ki hachayim hem hatzaga achat gdola
shekol echad yodea ech hi matchila
Ve'et hasof ish lo yeda chaver
aval ein lanu olam acher
Velachen nashir bimkom shenekater

Chorus:
Ten li ten li ten li badarbuka
ten li ten li ten li badarbuka
Bo venitmaker beyachad lachayim
besach hakol ata oreach

Tarim iti kosit ve'et hakol tishkach
habet kadima vehalev miyad yismach
Ki gal kol yom afor yiten li or
ve'et mabat enai tamid yizkor
Vechol etzev yealem veya'avor

Ten li……


The night's lights invite me for a dance
and I always see the full half of the glass
I throw away every thing
and forget yesterday
And go out to have a smashing time

Because life is one big show
every one knows how it starts
But no one knows the end my friend
and we don't have another world
And it's better to sing than to complain

Chorus:
Give it to me, (play it for me) give it to me with the Darbuka
Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me with the Darbuka
let's get addicted to life together
After all you are only a visitor here


Raise a glass with me and you will forget every thing
Look forward and your heart will be happy immediately
Even a gray day will give me light
and will remember my eyes
And every sadness will go away

Give it to me.....

Portugese translation
TOQUE A DARBUKA
As luzes da noite me convidam a dançar
e a ver sempre o copo meio cheio.
Desprezo tudo
e esqueço de ontem
e saio para "dar um tempo".

Porque a vida é um grande show
onde cada um sabe como começa
mas não onde termina, meu amigo
e por não termos outro mundo
é melhor cantar que lamentar-se.

CORO:
Toque, toque, toque prá mim a darbuka (2X)
Vamo-nos devotar à vida juntos afinal você é somente um hóspede aqui.

Erga a taça comigo e você se esquecerá de tudo.
Aguarde e seu coração se alegrará imediatamente.
Um dia cinzento sempre se iluminará
e fará lembrar meus olhos.
E toda tristeza irá embora.

CORO: Toque, toque, ....
