LYRIC
HAPPINESS- Yaakov Shwekey- Composed by Yaakov Shwekey & Yitzy Waldner, Lyrics by Yitzy Waldner & Chayala Neuhaus- Happiness
VERSE 1:
In 1492
What’s so really difficult to be a Jew,
It really was bananas, crazy propagandas
Who would have thought that this could be.
Migration at the port
Was the evil word from the high court,
Got the Inquisition, really bad position
It was causing us to flee.
PRE-CHORUS 1:
But the Abarbanel
He really knew this well,
We’re not leaving in pain
Gonna dance out of Spain with our joy.
CHORUS 1:
I know, I know, I know what He’s looking for
He really wants one thing and nothing more,
He really wants your happiness
Hap, hap, hap, hap happiness,
Your wholehearted happiness.
I know, I know, I know what He’s looking for
He really wants one thing and nothing more,
He really wants your happiness
Hap, hap, hap, hap happiness,
He really wants your hap, hap happiness.
Nah nah, nah nah nah nah
Nah nah, nah nah nah nah,
Nah nah, nah nah nah nah
Hap, hap, hap, hap happiness.
(x2)
VERSE 2:
In 1492
Look at what it means for me and you,
Still crazy propagandas
The world has gone bananas
Who would have thought that this could be.
Because even when the world’s a painful place
We gotta find the light to just embrace,
Takes us from surviving
To living and thriving
Because that’s the way that we break free.
PRE-CHORUS 2:
Yes, the Abarbanel
He really taught us well,
Started way back in Spain
But the spirit remains
If we just keep dancing.
CHORUS 2:
I know, I know, I know what He’s looking for
He really wants one thing and nothing more,
He really wants your happiness
Hap, hap, hap, hap happiness,
He really wants your happiness.
I know, I know, I know what He’s looking for
He really wants one thing and nothing more,
He really wants your happiness
Hap, hap, hap, hap happiness,
He really wants your hap, hap happiness.
BRIDGE:
Are you happy, happy
Yes, we’re happy, happy,
Are you happy, happy, happy today?
Are you happy, happy
Yes, we’re happy, happy.
Are you happy, happy, happy, happy
Happy today?
CHORUS 3:
I know, I know, I know what He’s looking for
He really wants one thing and nothing more,
He really wants your happiness
Hap, hap, hap, hap happiness,
He really wants your happiness.
I know, I know, I know what He’s looking for
He really wants one thing and nothing more,
He really wants your happiness
Hap, hap, hap, hap happiness,
He really wants your hap, hap happiness.
