Part 6~Hora Efrochim~Troup Smiles and Dance

Being part of a dance troupe means that you don't often get to be in the spotlight, rather, you are a part of a whole.

In the first section of this video, you will see some of the children in the troupe as they enjoy a "close-up" moment.

The dance that follows comes from a Portuguese tune called "Smiles". It was translated to Hebrew and is sung by Chava Elberstein, one of Israel's most popular singers.

* A rough translation of the song is below the video

Part 6 of 12~Hora Efrochim~Troup Smiles and Dances

Smiles (Chiyuchim)...Chava Alberstein 

 If the sun is new every morning 

If the flowers are just a smile to the world 

If a rolling wave is laughing to the skies 

So why do we not laugh with them all? 

If there are circuses and clowns, 

If the children's laughter sounds clear and not far 

Laughter in the market, of the sea, of the school bell 

So why do we not learn to laugh? 

You should, you should learn from the flowers 

Do not skimp with smiles 

And the world, will suddenly look so good 

Better to dream and hope, to try just once 

You should laugh, you should live, you should love 

You should smile, its also permitted to be angry 

But be careful not to destroy 

You can weave a wonderful dream for a rainy day 

Everything will certainly be better, but for now 

If You can cry for no reason, you can also sing 

A man goes his own way and it is foreign to him 

And he is silent and the whole world is silent 

Suddenly in front of him a baby smiles 

And the whole world laughs and laughs 

And again the sun kisses the city with love 

A wave of light plays over a rock 

Shadows of light play over the train tracks 

What's so important  that we forget

It is better, you should learn...
