‎The second song is sung in the Yemeni  Hebrew dialect so I can't decipher all the words. The do mention wine in the song. Also that's a little beside the point but the singer "Noa", which is the woman in the left, and whose real name is  Achinoam Nini, is an evil traitor, supporter of the "Palestinian" cause. This is partly why she is endorsed internationally i.e. she sang for the Pope (JP2) on two occasions.

Now for the subject of Jewish music- I personally don't think the Jews had much to offer in this art, especially compared to their much more significant contribution in science, math, philosophy, law, and other arts such as literature.

There have been nevertheless some great Jewish musicians but I am not sure their stile has much to do with them being accidentally born Jewish. I am referring for example to the likes of Gustav Mahler, Kurt Weill, Felix Mendelssohn, Leonard Bernstein, George Gershwin, ... .

Just to give you an example of the despicable "Noa", She has formed a duo with an Arab (actually half Arab) sharmuta, Mira Awad.

Hava nagila = Let's rejoice
Hava nagila = Let's rejoice
Hava nagila v'nismeḥa = Let's rejoice and be happy
(Repeat stanza)

Hava neranenah = Let's sing
Hava neranenah = Let's sing
Hava neranenah v'nismeḥa = Let's sing and be happy
(Repeat stanza)

Uru, uru aḥim! = Awake, awake, brothers!
Uru aḥim b'lev sameaḥ = Awake brothers with a happy heart
(Repeat line 4 times)

Uru aḥim, uru aḥim! = Awake, brothers, awake, brothers!
B'lev sameaḥ = With a happy heart

It is a song for festivity/happy occasions including weddings.

Here is a Yemani Jewish classic:
