There is something about the Maccabeats that is just so good. And they totally nailed it with this cover of “Tamid ohev oti!”
The Maccabeats Sing Popular Israeli Song
All Israelis love this song – religious, secular, and everyone in between. There is something about it that you just can’t help but to dance and sing along. And the words are so meaningful and uplifting. Great cover by one of the most popular Jewish acapella bands out there!
Here is the translation of the song “Tamid ohev oti,” originally by Yair Elitzur:
Chorus: And God, may He be blessed, always loves me,
And it will always be good for me.
God is a good father, and He always takes pride in me,
He sees only the good points in me.
He sees that I want to be good, but it doesn’t always work out,
And I’m only missing a few prayers.
And God saw the desire I had when I tried,
I didn’t give up.
He sees my humiliation, the bitterness I felt,
And how I started over again and again.
Chorus:
And God, may He be blessed, always loves me,
And it will always be good for me.
And it will get even better,
And even better, And even better, And even better, And even better, And even better,
And it will always be good for me.
Bridge:
And may I have livelihood, may I have prosperity.
May there be matches for the bachelors and bachelorettes
May there also be complete healing and strong health, Beautiful, happy lives, year after year.
