I have a book of Naomi Shemer's songs and took the lyrics from there.

Hi:
While someone else asked for the lyrics, I appreciate them, too.
I've been listening to a lot of Israeli music since my trip to Israel
last summer.
Unfortunately, since I don't understand Hebrew, I can only pick out a
few words. (I have a transliterard dictionary, but it's slow going.) And I
haven't been able to find much in translation.
Do you know a source of English translations for Israeli songs?
Even without knowing the words, I still enjoy the sound of the
language, the melodies.
Thanks,
Esther

I have on the web a scanned copy of an Israeli songbook that was
distributed at Washington's Tenth Annual Memorial Day Israeli
Folkdance Weekend (I don't know when this was, in the 80's I
suppose). It was compiled by Barry and Myra Gross of Silver Spring,
Maryland, who kindly allowed me to redistribute it on the net.
Note that all typos are probably as a result of my scan/ocr, don't
blame Barry and Myra. The file contains the text to 380 Israeli
songs, in English transliteration.
It's at:
http://shamash.org/trb/wash.txt
If you find typos, please let me know.
You are also welcome to check out my web page of Jewish resources at:

Nice piece of work! Thank you for putting it on the Web for us all to
use, and thanks also to the Gross family for releasing it. By the way,
when I have to print transliteration for my choir (since the music goes left-to-right) I underline the accented syllables. This is too big to
do that for all 380 songs, but I will add it to the ones I use if I can.

Try this address for Jewish music sources http://www.jewishmusic.com
It is the home page of Tara publications, which gives at least a summary of
the translation in all their publications of Israeli and other Jewish music.

Um, aren't there copyright issues? I mean, it's nice of the Gross'
to let you redistribute, but what about any royalties/permissions
to the folks who wrote the songs? Is this all material in the
public domain--otherwise, you are giving someone else's work
away, which is nice for those who don't want to pay, but rather
rough on the song/music writers.

I would be most interested in obtaining a copy of the music
to the Israeli songbook for playing on my piano. Can it be
sent to me on the internet or is there someplace I can go
to obtain a copy?

There is no one source for all 380 songs presented there. Besides,
there would be copyright problems if anyone tried to add the music.
However, if you investigate Tara Publications' on-line catalog, you
will find music books which include virtually all of these. As you
will see, it will take a few books to cover most of the list. May
I suggest the following:
Israel In Song
Great Songs of Israel
Favorite Songs of Israel
Israel Sings
the three Effi Netzer Songbooks (they only have the first two)
International Jewish Songbook
Jerusalem Songbook
Tara can be found at http://www.jewishmusic.com
or 1-800-TARA-400
No, I don't work for them, but I do have all of these books and use
them extensively for teaching and programs.
