Let me tell you a SECRET... And make this song 10X times more beautiful for YOU... She sings: "A desert of sands and secrets" ; The desert, with the help of the winds, conceals and reveals everything under the sands, constantly, like a game of truth and lies... You think you see something for a second, and the next second it's gone... Was it your imagination ? Are you going crazy ? Or was it there ? A desert is made of sand: the hebrew word for sand is "Chol". Chol in hebrew also means; mundane, earthly, un-holy... We humans go through the desert that is life, can't tell the truth from the lies, we are thirsty for the eternal truth, like a man in the desert is thirsty for a drop of water to save his life.... We suffocate under the lies, the sands of life... "A Fountain which is revealed among the sands, the spring of my youth, gushes, and dances in a gust of wind"..... A fountain, or Maayan in hebrew, is a source of water, or "Mayim" in hebrew. Mayim also means eternal truth, which is divine, holy, the opposite of sand or "chol"... Can you find the fountain in your desert ? Can you find truth, instead of lies ? Can you be holy, in an unholy land ? Will you give up and die of thirst ? Will you confuse water with sand as you wander through the desert ? Will you go crazy in the search for truth ? "In colors and voices, that were born from the desert"... The truth is flirting with us through the sands in visions and voices... The sand and the water, the truth and the lies, all born in the same place, the desert, all in the same source.... The poison of a snake kills, but from the snakes poison also comes the medicine.... Is the snake bad, or good ? Or do you not know how to look... ? When you will hear the sounds, will you listen ? When you'll see the colors, will you look ? "Even if the sky of the moon will rise, I shall not sit and shall not rest".... When the darkness descends upon you, in the dark night of your soul, will you give up ? "My lips shall not run dry, if I sing to the desert".... As we say in hebrew, a hint is enough for the wise who understands... As the sands of time continue to consume our temporary bodies, and our souls search for our eternal home, our hearts yearn to be whole, to be in peace, we are given a choice: will we fight, to find the truth of life ? Will we listen, and look ? When our lips are dry, and the lies blind us through the desert, will we find the fountain of youth ? The fountain is within us, eternity awaits us, and all roads lead back home. It's all real. Follow your heart.

I love this song, this is one of outstanding songs in the world. The music is Arabic, the lyric is Hebrew, the band is from Turkiye, and the persons of the band comes from different countries. I fall in love with LIB instantly. Greetings from Indonesia, hope you would have a case show here.

Hi from 2023 who still hear it❤

My goodness, this is beyond beauty. Her voice is so powerful. The music is mysterious

I got here from "The Epic of Gilgamesh in Sumerian." I'm glad I did. Ordered two almums of Light in Babylon.

Turkish Translate(Türkçe Çeviri) A desert (Bir çöl..) Of sand and secrets (Kumlardan ve sırlardan..) A Fountain (Bir pınar..) Which is revealed among the sands (Kumların arasından ortaya çıkan..) The spring of my youth (Gençliğimin baharı..) gushes (Coşkularım..) and dances in a gust of wind (Ve rüzgarın içinde ettiğim danslar..) in colors (Renklerin..) and voices (Ve seslerin içinde..) that were born from the desert (Çölden doğdular..) even if the sky of the moon (Gökyüzündeki ay..) will rise (yükselse bile..) I shall not sit and shall not rest (Oturmayacağım ve dinlenmeyeceğim..) My lips shall not run dry (Dudaklarım kurumayacak..) If I sing to the desert (Eğer çöle şarkı söylersem..) Hata olduysa affola :)

Ya Sahra (desierto) Letras: Michal Elia Kamal Un desierto De arena y secretos Una fuente Que se revela entre las arenas La primavera de mi juventud brota y baila en una ráfaga de viento en colores y voces que nacieron del desierto aunque el cielo de la luna se levantará No me sentaré ni descansaré Mis labios no se secarán Si le canto al desierto ❤️From Spain

This beautiful song in Hebrew, the inspiring Arabic music, and the multicultural musicians elevate us to the height of human spirit and emotions. For me it has the strong message of universal love at a time when religious, linguistic, ethnic, and political differences are constantly the sources of wars and death around the globe . The "wind" in this song is the loving nature of humans that blows away the sands of prejudice and ignorance. May this wind one day bring peace and happiness to all living creatures. Love to Jews, Muslims, Zoroastrians, Baha'is, Budhists, Jains, Agnostics, and Atheists, ... Love to ALL from Tehran/Iran (Persia)

Im in love!!!! Oh my God! Mysterious! Love Middle East! I pray god to bring long-waited peace and stability back to this beautiful land! Love from Australia

Shalom, for all people in the world! Beautiful! 🌹 ♥️

Love from France ! I adore this music. Let's all the people of the world sing together !

How is it possible that a guy from the flat Nordic green and wet plains gets touched so deeply by this music? Obviously there's something we all can recognize... Which evokes unexpected and strong hope....

she reminds me Ofra Haza, may her soul rest in peace Inchallah

" I see the light of the living in everyone's heart my blood stirs my memory to temptation in the midst of great pain and sorrow, oh father you are the light of the world forever."

The powerful voice, the magnificent cinematography, the beautiful Melody, is so majestic.

Hebrew and Arabic, both Semitic languages... Beautifully sung. Love from Pakistan.

Харизма девушки просто зашкаливает!!!! очарован околдован!!!

Пробило насквозь! Безумно талантливая девочка

This music unfolds like a picture book full of stars, where birds come chirping, spinning farandoles, cracking rattles and dancing wizards. From rounds to nursery rhymes, the arrangements display their mystery, the songs fill with fervor and the instruments have the roundness and brilliance of chimes 🌺🕊️🙂

Simply perfect, I do not understand the words but I understand the soul of this music that is difficult to describe in words. I'm glad that you exist. Greetings from Bosnia

Lyrics Translation : Ya Sahra ( Desert) Lyrics: Michal Elia Kamal A desert Of sand and secrets A Fountain Which is revealed among the sands The spring of my youth gushes and dances in a gust of wind in colors and voices that were born from the desert even if the sky of the moon will rise I shall not sit and shall not rest My lips shall not run dry If I sing to the desert מדבר של חול ושל סודות מעיין אשר נגלה בין החולות נביעת נעורי היוצאת בריקוד במשב הרוח בצבעים וקולות הנולדו מן המדבר גם אם שמי הלבנה יעלו לא אשב ולא אנוח שפתותיי לא יבושו אם אשיר אל המדבר

Is it normal that your songs reminds me nostalgia for... a past i can't remember? What the hell

desert scene is always perfect

Every tone or note sung from Michal, especially in this hymn, weakens my knees and inspires me to know the words, and trying to pronounce them in an attempt to feel that power that I hear in her song. And it feels fantastic

The sounds brings me back to Baghdad... I miss the people I've befriended in my time there.

Amazing! Her voice is Majestic!

Шикарное исполнение.Девушка-очаровашка!

Ne kadar mühteşem bir ses dinlerken mest oluyorum

What a wonderful singer. Her music brings forth the immortal ancient Melodies to life.

Mágico 🤧 soy latina y estoy enamorada de esta cultura

Music has no religion, no caste. It can bind us together. Love from India. I am in love with this tune.

How could you not believe in the divine, when a woman like this walks the planet earth. My God, speechless.

I love the way you sing in Hebrew while keeping that Yemenite way of pronunciation and successfully blending it with Mizrahi way of stressing several sounds.

my great friend, becoming great intercontinental star... peace be upon you...

As an Arab I agree Hebrew is just beautiful language

She is absolutely beautiful. And that voice is the voice of the ages. Pure joy listening to the whole band. Truly talented

Uma Deusa, uma Louca, uma feiticeira .. onde voce for sempre tera um BR ! 💚🇧🇷

One mystery I can't solve: Good music is not well known. This should have been viewed by millions. May be it is quality vs quantity...I don't know....

Me encanta su música..soy de Costa Rica ,Centroamérica, desde aquí los escucho..♡♡♡♡♡ Bendiciones!

How great is the Arab culture, civilization and music

This is how one can make sense of the division, hate, and ignorance by making beautiful music that syntetize who are--beautiful human beings! Thank you, Michal

I love her voice! I don't speak the language but the way she sings calls to me anyway.❤

Every time I listen to this song, it takes me on a journey across the Sahara. And I can't stop listening...

❤️ *from* 🇮🇳 *India* Mind-blowing 😍 song🎵🎶

Sem palavras para descrever tamanho esplendor desta artista vocal!

Can't get out from the mystic depth of this song, even when I don't understand a word other than Sahara. Planning to to learn Hebrew because of you. Love from Pakistan.

I love ouarzazat Morocco Sahara and this amazing voice.

This song is lovely. Deserts really interest me

What grace, beauty and elegance! "You have snatched away all trace of me with one glance of your enchanting eyes" - Amir Khusro

I love everything about this music video; most of all the performance of Michael Elia: her voice and commitment to the lyrics. Loved the place where it was taped, and the music. Love IT all! :)

Wow, she is great. What a voice and so much emotion. She bridges the spirit of music to the physical of the body. Bravo!

this is intense and wonderfully mysterious. and the video convincingly shows how tiny human beings are compared to the world that surrounds them

Amazing song, I kept repeating it on and on, the singer has a nice powerful voice too, the musicians are doing an excellent job too.

When native Americans like myself understand all of this it truly unites us. I understand every word and beat. It makes me wonder how did I pass that Summerian language test without ever studying it. Did we all used to speak the same language? I'm half German half Cherokee
