Hebrew to English translations [PRO]
Art/Literary - Music / name of a klezmer song
Hebrew term or phrase: Mi Yamalay
a song by Frank London
I have seen this http://www.lyricszoo.com/frank-londons-klezmer-brass-allstar... , but it does not explain much

I am not sure if this is Hebrew at all - doesn't look like Yiddish to me either

Would appreciate any clarification

TIA

Explanation:
מי
ימלל גבורות ישראל אותן מי ימנה ... Who can tell of the heroic deeds of Israel?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanukkah_music
That's a Hanukkah song with מי ימלל
You have מי ימלא which has no connection with your song
מי ימלא means "who will fill". Who knows if your author really knew Hebrew that well?
A Yiddish way of writing ימלא?
