A Hebrew Song for Mother’s Day called “Mommy, Precious to Me”

Thursday, April 26th, 2007

Deborah Ivri sent me a wonderful song and recording recently that sounded perfect for Mother’s Day. Though Mother’s Day is not officially celebrated in Israel, it is unofficially. Here’s what Deborah said about it…

Here in Israel Mother’s Day is not an official holiday, but because of the vast amount of American Jews and South African Jews, maybe even Russians also, it is celebrated. Even schools and kindergartens do something for Mother’s and Father’s Day. The song I sent you was sung at my son’s kindergarten last year for all the Moms.

The song Deborah sent me is called Eima Yikara Li in Hebrew. Below you’ll find the mp3 recording of Deborah singing it, then you’ll find the Hebrew transliteration, and finally, the English translation.

Mommy, Precious to Me

Mommy, precious to me
Precious mommy.
Mommy, precious to me
Precious mommy.
My precious mommy
Loves me very much
Loves me very much.

I will smile at you
I will smile
I will smile at you
I will smile
I will sing a little song about you
Because I love you
I love you.

Many thanks to Deborah Ivri for sending me this song and recording.

Great Link for Language Learning

If you’re trying to learn a new language, I’d recommend checking out LanguageGuide.org.

Users visit different theme related pages (i.e. about insects, the family, the farm). Each page has images related to the theme. You place your cursor over the images and hear their names pronounced and see them spelled out in the language you choose.

Because it’s visually based, these pages can be used by anyone in the world, regardless of your native language.

Here are the languages they have:

English (English)
Italian (Italiano)
Arabic (عربي;)
Spanish (Español)
Portuguese (Português)
Mandarin Chinese (普通话)
French (Français)
Russian (Русский)
Japanese (日本語 Nihongo)
German (Deutsch)
Hebrew (עברית)

So if you’re interested in learning any of these languages, or improving your skills, check it out!
