The opening as it read in 2025
Zum Gali Gali ( Hebrew : זום גלי גלי ) is an Israeli folk song associated with kibbutzim , Israel's collective agricultural communities. The song is sometimes referred to by the title "Israeli Work Song" and is known for its rhythmic style. The song begins with the repeated refrain ("zum gali gali") before proceeding to the verses. The repeated refrain itself is a nonsensical verse , and has no direct translation into English.
