El Na

by Gidon (feat. Duvid Swirsky & Lev Swirsky)

This song is called "El Na" (God, Please) is a rough translation. It is Moses' prayer to God to heal his sister Miriam when she is sick with leprosy. The full prayer is: "El na refa na la" (Please God, Heal her please) - or something to that effect.

It is a song of healing - especially in these times with the great COVID epidemic, political divisions and environmental illnesses. How do we heal? Ultimately through joy. It brings us out of our sorrow and lifts us up. The riddim and melody reflects this and like Bob said - "Forget your weakness and dance, forget your sorrows and dance, forget your sickness and dance". If you are a reggae connoisseur and recognize the tune it's because it is a loose cover of The Melodians "Get Along Without You".
