Dugit - Shlomo Bachar VersionדוגיתIsrael
These notes ©2016, Andrew Carnie. Choreographed by Shlomo Bachar. The dance name translates as "Skiff" (i.e. a small boat). We learned this dance from Shlomo at a mini-workshop in Tucson on December 20, 2016.
Lyrics: Natan Yonaton
Music: Dugit Nosa'at (I'm pretty sure it's an Arik Einstein version, but I've been unable to find the exact recording that Shlomo used for this choreography. This is the closest, but the dance as choreographed does not fit this arrangement: https://youtu.be/H-Mol4Mhi3g)

Lyrics
דוגית נוסעת, מפרשיה שניים
ומלחיה - נרדמו כולם.
רוח נושבת על פני המים,
ילד פוסע על החוף דומם.
ילד פעוט הוא ועגום עיניים
שוטפים המים - למרחק אין סוף...
אם לא יעורו כל מלחיה -
איכה תגיע הדוגית לחוף?...
