Light in Babylon - Hinach Yafa / Live in Beyoglu, Istanbul

Paized by fRoots Magazine as 'A celebration of the cosmopolitan traditions of both Istanbul and the Sephardic Jewish community and another example of the great music that is coming out of the Eastern Mediterranean right now', Light in Babylon brought to the world scene their first official album 'Life sometimes doesn't give you space' in 2012.

Their project is the fusion of different ethnicities and cultures, the singer is Israeli from Iranian origin, the santur player is Turkish the guitarist is French and they cooperate with musicians from different origin as well (Turkish, English and more).

With the strength and openness of their youth and the various musical influences they have, they intuitively created a original colourful blend of their inner voices with flavours that would carry the imagination on a travel trough the Middle east and beyond.

What became the core trio of the band met in 2010 in the streets of Istanbul. Michal Elia Kamal, would write lyrics, and arrangement and composition would be made by the trio including Metehan Çifçi (santour) and Julien Demarque (guitar).

Hinach Yafa -- הינך יפה -- You Are Beautiful
Hinach Yafa - English Lyrics:

In my bed its already week I search
The one my soul love
And I couldn't fined him
I search in all the streets of the
Full lies city
And I couldn't fined him
The guards who surround the city
Found me
But my love..i couldn't find him yet
I will not let him go
Till I will bring him to my city
To mother house to my room To my bed
u have been so beautiful my wife
and your lips r scarlet string
your tooth r white as the light of the moon
Who is coming up from the desert
From a faraway land Carried by a big bird
Arriving to my house
La la la la la..
In my bed its already week I search
The one my soul love
And I couldn't fined him
I search in all the streets of the
Full lies city
And I couldn't fined him
The guards who surround the city
Found me
But my love..i couldn't find him yet
I will not let him go
Till I will bring him to my city
To mother house to my room To my bed
u have been so beautiful my wife
and your lips r scarlet string
your tooth r white as the light of the moon
Who is coming up from the desert
From a faraway land Carried by a big bird
Arriving to my house
U have been so beautiful my wife
I'm getting mixed inside your eye which
Burning me as a tongue of fire
Who is coming up from the desert
From a faraway land Carried by a big bird
Arriving to my house

Hinach Yafa - Hebrew Lyrics:

Bemitati kvar Shavuot
Bikashti et sheahava nafshi
Velo metzaativ
Chipasti bein kol rechovot hair
Hameleat shkarim hazot
Velo metzaativ
Matzeuni hashomrim Hasovevim bair
.
ach ahuvi, od lo matzati oto
Ach lo arpe mimeno ad sheavio
.
El toch iri el beit imi el mitati
Hinech yafa raayati vesiftotaich chut shani
Shinaich levanot keor halevana
.
Mi zot ola min hamidbar meeretz rechoka
Niset al knaf tzipor gdola hegia el beiti
.
La la la la la la...
Bemitati kvar Shavuot
Bikashti et sheahava nafshi
Velo metzaativ
Chipasti bein kol rechovot hair
Hameleat shkarim hazot
Velo metzaativ
Matzeuni hashomrim Hasovevim bair
.
ach ahuvi, od lo matzati oto
.
Ach lo arpe mimeno ad sheavio
El toch iri el beit imi el mitati
Hinech yafa raayati vesiftotaich chut shani
Shinaich levanot keor halevana

Mi zot ola min hamidbar meeretz rechoka
Niset al knaf tzipor gdola hegia el beiti

Asher sorfot oti keesh halehava
Mi zot ola min hamidbar meeretz rechoka
Niset al knaf tzipor gdola hegia el beiti
