Tzena,Tzena,Tzena - The Weavers

Zeina, zeina, zeina, zeina

Dabkeh nihdbek nurkus hora

Bleilet twa adna

Yalla ma’ana, rudu ma’ana

Rudu ma’ana, rudu ma’ana

Ghrannu ya ah-bab

Zeina, zeina, dabkeh nihdbek yalla

Nurkus hora ya as-ha-a-a-ab

Yalla ma’ana, yalla rudu ma’ana

Ah-lan bikom ya as-hab!

Zeina, zeina, zeina, zeina.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

We dance the Dabkeh, we dance the hora

One night we have a get-together

Come on, let’s go, let’s go, come on

Repeat with us, sing with us, oh beloved

Beautiful, beautiful, let us dance the dabkeh, dance the hora, oh friends

Come on with us, repeat with us

Welcome, oh friends

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

Tsenna, tsenna, Habanot urenna, Khaverim, ba’im la’ir

Alna, alna, Alna titkhabenna, Umizor yakhdav nashir

Tsenna, Tsenna, Tsenna.

Come out, come out, girls

See friends in the village

Don’t be, don’t be shy

Let’s sing and dance

All of us together!

Come out, come out, come out.

Tzena, Tzena, Tzena, Tzena

Can’t you hear the music playing

In the city square?

Tzena, Tzena, Tzena, Tzena

Come where all our friends will find us

With the dancers there

Tzena, Tzena!

Join the celebration

There’ll be people there from every nation

Dawn will find us laughing in the sunlight

Dancing in the city square

Tzena, Tzena, (CLAP), Come and dance the hora

Dance the dabkeh.

All of us will dance together

Tzena, Tzena, (CLAP), When the band is playing

My heart’s saying, «Tzena, Tzena, Tzena!»
