L’Chaim!

L’chaim is the featured song of Gad’s brand-new album, also entitled “L’chaim”. The film was made on location in the Ukraine. 

An unexpected trip to an antique store catapults Israeli singer Gad Elbaz back through the generations to a 19th century Ukranian shtetl. He finds himself in a simpler time and place where, despite the lack of modern conveniences, everyone (including the farm animals) was happy. 

LYRICS 

Can’t you see the world is turning 
Turning to ashes ’cause fire is burning 
Bad news, they make you feel like you can’t be happy 
And so, I came to make you scream L’chaim 

Nissim:  

We wanna thank everybody for coming out here today 
It’s gonna be a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful event 
And hold on for motion sickness, please 

Ignore every situation and occupation 
Of all your happiness 
Just like a wedding or your Bar Mitzvah, be a Baal Simcha 
And shout with thankfulness 

 
Ok come on are you ready 
Ok come on are you ready 
Ok we are locked and steady 
Five, four, three 
You better stand for him 
You better rock for him 
You better love him, thank him 
Everybody now scream L’chaim 

Nissim: 

Yea, Look 
Even if the world tells you different 
You can attain happiness and change in an instant 
Inner peace, real joy, no catch 
We live in disbelief ’cause we ain’t been there yet, check 
Like Avraham guided by the kishkas 
God brings the outcome, you only need a rib cage 
No walls, barriers and no blockage 
Just move straight ahead, don’t give yourself an option 
The time tick tocks and if you aint got a watch then 
Life passes by forgetting that he is watching 
To life 
Toast to the most high 
We celebrate life 
So L’chaim worldwide 

Ok come on are you ready 
Ok come on are you ready 
Ok we are locked and steady 
Five, four, three 
We gotta dance for him 
We wave our hands for him 
We better serve him, hear him 
Everybody now scream L’chaim 

Can’t you see the world is turning 
Turning to ashes ’cause fire is burning 
Bad news, they make you feel like you can’t be happy 
And so, I came to make you scream L’chaim 

So put your hands up 
You better get up 
So put your hands up 
You better get up and scream L’chaim
