Hora / הורה - Israel 1982 - Eurovision songs with live orchestra 

People look confused when I tell them that I prefer this type of music over modern high-visual-effect and loud music, but these are the songs I can never pass on.

In 1982 I was 12 years old. Don't why, but I never forgot this song. It was the only song, that was always in my ears. For 40 years now ! 😁

Lots of great songs from Israel, but this one has to be up there with 1983, 2005, 1998 and 1979!! This guy is amazing.

Israel is the best country in Eurovision this country never disappointed me

A real Eurovision classic

i can't believe we won TWICE in a row, and got 2nd place TWICE in a row. it's pure insanity

one of the best Eurovision song ever!!!!!!!!!

Is this the smallest stage in ESC history ?

Shalom Israel your songs are beautiful....it's so good remenber this song again!!....

this guy is like duracell battery from israel :DD

☪️✡️🇹🇷🇦🇿🇮🇱✌️🍹

Brilliant! I'd really like to see more songs like this at the Eurovision Song Contest.

2:01 RIP that microphone

Esta canción es un manjar ! Qué coreografía ! Que letra de canción ! Que melodías ! Que cantante ! Que voz ! Impresionantes gracias Israel por estas grandes interpretaciones ! Por algo tienen 4 premios bien merecidos , !! Y grandes segundos lugares !

Beautiful Jews

....very good entry, a Little bit sad....A Little bit of peace by Nicole won - but this song from Israel would have been a good winner TOO !!!!

I know Nicole was great but this was my personal winner

I love you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇮🇱🇮🇱 end the war!!

יומולדת 40 לשיר ולביצוע שהביא המון כבוד. בלי מלחמת לבנון, אבי היה בשקט זוכה, וגם עפרה שנה אחרי. שנות הזהב של המוזיקה הישראליות.

2:01 most epic microphone-crash in Eurovision-history! In my opinion, this stage was too small for six people.

Those were the days when Israel sent proper quality songs to Eurovision - should have won by a mile in 1982!

I was 17, never forget this song and solist.

The dancer's outfits are stunning, I wish the singer's color/fabric was closer to turquoise and that of the same material of the male shirts and female skirts. But a beautiful song, regardless!

That dance choreography is very unique.

One of my favourite songs from Israel and from the ESC in general

This is such a great song

Alguien en 2020 recordando grandes canciones de eurovision ? 🙂🙂🙂

J'ai l'impression que les chansons de l'eurovision des années 1970 et 1980 étaient de bien meilleures qualités que celles qui concourent de nos jours

39 years ago. fantastic song. amazing singer.

One of only 4 or 5 good songs in 1982 - as also Switzerland, Germany, belgium and perhaps Spain. Now I can understand a little bit of the Hebrew lyrics (achschav ani jachol lehavin meat me ha milim ha ivriot).

Que canción más hermosa, con esa letra tan preciosa y ese baile..😍😍

OMG this is amazing . This why i love Eurovision

תותח על!!! שיק מטורף! לחן שובה ומדבק, ועם פזמון אחר בשקט הייתי מציע להחליף אותו בתקווה ושיהיה ההימנון הלאומי!!! אבי טולדנו ברגע האמת הוא לא פחות ממטאור (למרות הלפסוס הקטנטן). השיר הכי ישראלי שנכתב אי פעם.❤

One of my most favourite Israeli Eurovision songs

That stage was a disgrace, expecting this wonderful song to be staged on a postage stamp. Ridiculous. This is one of the best eurovision songs ever. Better than the 1978 winner

I start singing this whenever a woman is selling me suspicious services in sweden

Hora, Hora, Hora The field we left back then still turns to gold The land still produces its harvest And the nights in Canaan are still beautiful Before the sun rises A train still crosses a green orchard there A stork still relaxes above And the fog still carries in the valley Between the sunrise and the dew And also the Hora, the one with the Hey Its voice still rises, its voice has not been silenced And also the Hora, the one with the Hey Its song fills my heart forever Clouds still float over the city houses And the sea caresses the sand And still we hear how in the hearts there beats An old refrain and a dance And also the Hora, the one with the Hey Its voice still rises, its voice has not been silenced And also the Hora, the one with the Hey Its song fills my heart forever Lai lai lai lai… lala lai lai lai… Lala lala lalala… Lai lai lai lai… lala lai lai lai… Lala lala lalala… Hora, the one with the Hey Its voice still rises, its voice has not been silenced And also the Hora, the one with the Hey Its song fills my heart forever The field we left back then still turns to gold The land still produces its harvest And the nights in Canaan are still beautiful Before the sun rises And also the Hora, the one with the Hey Its voice still rises, its voice has not been silenced And also the Hora, the one with the Hey Its song fills my heart forever Lai lai lai lai… lala lai lai lai… Lala lala lalala… Lai lai lai lai… lala lai lai lai… Lala lala lalala… Hora Hora, Hora, Hora Od mazhiv hasade she’azavnu az Od ha’arets noset yevula Ve’od yafim hem haleilot biChna’an Terem hashemesh ola Od rakevet chotsa sham pardes yarok Chasida od roga’at me’al Ve’od nisa ha’arafel ba’emek Bein hazricha vehatal Vegam haHora, hahi im haHei Kola od ole, kola lo nadam Vegam haHora, hahi im haHei Shira memale libi le’olam Od shatim ananim al batei ha’ir Vehayam melatef et hachol Ve’od nishma ech bilvavot po’em lo Zemer yashan umachol Vegam haHora, hahi im haHei Kola od ole, kola lo nadam Vegam haHora, hahi im haHei Shira memale libi le’olam Lai lai lai lai… lala lai lai lai… Lala lala lalala… Lai lai lai lai… lala lai lai lai… Lala lala lalala… Hora, hahi im haHei Kola od ole, kola lo nadam Vegam haHora, hahi im haHei Shira memale libi le’olam Od mazhiv hasade she’azavnu az Od ha’arets noset yevula Ve’od yafim hem haleylot biChna’an Terem hashemesh ola Vegam haHora, hahi im haHei Kola od ole, kola lo nadam Vegam haHora, hahi im haHei Shira memale libi le’olam Lai lai lai lai… lala lai lai lai… Lala lala lalala… Lai lai lai lai… lala lai lai lai… Lala lala lalala… Hora

WOW! Incedible to see this group again. Today(2020) everyone is 63..

2:03 Lol the dancer knocked the mic over in the right corner

A favorite. It's just so joyful

Il finira à la deuxième place. L'année suivante, il compose la chanson d'Israel à l'eurovision, qui finira aussi à la deuxième place.

Für 1982 nicht schlecht. ✡️💕✡️💕

בלהקה אני מזהה את: מימין ---- לוסי ממן, שלמה ממן, אביבה אבידן....

Six people made to dance on a napkin in a village hall.

What a killer tune.

LOVE IT... EPIC. As good as Nicole's

Im from Israel שלום לכולם אני מישראל

This bop should of won!

Super

This is great cultural and ethnic entertainment. I love it 💕😍. Please do more of the same.. Also a suggestion, how about adding some tutorials demonstrating these beautiful and spirited dances that fit these beautiful songs. First in slow motion without the music, showing the steps and various nuisances and then step it up to the music. This will help more people experience and appreciate this great culture and traditions associated with it.

This song is a dance-evergreen. My Ivrit-teacher here in Stuttgart had made a choreograpy for this song. This choreography is often performed.

You can see some of the dancers in lsraeli entries in 1983 and 1985

I'm delighted to see Jewish traditions on the ESC stage! If it weren't for the stiff competition from Nicole, it could've stood a chance at the trophy.

Мой любимый певец

And the lights in Cannan are still beautiful

2:01 The microphone falls off. El micrófono se cae.

Bonita canción con un toque folk y fuerza interpretativa,merecido 2º puesto¡

That microphone never stood a chance😂

NOSTALGIA ❤

Note for me: 02:42 - 03:12

Love it ,Ok! But sounding and dancing South Slavic (Serbian ) not Isreli...

I love this song!

❤

2022, and still Hora

Hora for ESC Israel is a Legend Song way back:)

02:54 Go fetch!

געגועים. נוסטלגיה יופי של שיר כל הכבוד ל אבי טולדנו 🇮🇱🇮🇱👍

I remember this song wow

Israeli make best eurovision songs

I do not know Hebrew. What is he singing about?

HORA is Romanian folklore, Romanian traditional dance.

Fantastic ♥️ ♥️

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
