Re: ballads 2

[David Baron <d_baron...>]

The Yidgal is song Erev Shabat in (some?) Sephardi congregations. It sure 
sounded English to me, very familiar, but I could not sing it for you now or 
tell you anything more.

The "l'chai olamim" is simple song in this manner:
Hahod vhahadar tzu vemem, tzu vemem? L-chai .... o-lam-MIM! Pull on the ropes 
on aht "MIM!". It is not your typcial Hebrew/Yiddish liturgical or klezmer 
hit.
