Hava nagila, Hava nagila, Hava nagila, Venis mecha.   Hava neranena, Hava neranena, Hava neranena, Venis mecha.

Over the valley voices are singing, bells are ringing Dance, everyone dance Come to the valley, run through the clover harvest is over Dance, everyone dance Dance where the corn is high under a golden sky Dance where the one was born Dance, everyone dance Whirl and turn about, lift off your arms and shout Join hands and skip along Dance, everyone dance Hava nagila, Hava nagila, Hava nagila, Venis mecha. Hava nagila, Hava nagila, Hava nagila, Venis mecha. So take my hand and walk, walk this land with me The plain, this golden land with me though I am just a woman When you are by my side with the help of God I know I can be strong to make this land my own If I must fight than I'll fight to make this land my own Until I die, this land is mine!...             Exodus   50년대 후반부터 60년대까지 많은 힛트곡들을 발표하고 영화에도 출연했던 Connie Francis는 생기발랄한 미성에 가창력까지를 겸비한 명가수였으나 70년대 중반에 성폭행을 당하고, 성대 수술후에는 옛날의 목소리를 완전히 잃어버린 비운의 여가수이기도 하다.   1938년생인 그녀의 본명은 Concetta Rosa Maria Franconero로 끝의 이름만 보면 마치 서부영화의 주인공이었던 프랑코네로를 연상시키는 이태리 혈통의 가수이다
