What I remember most about this song and Ofra Haza, she introduce us Americans to an entire new realm of quality music, which is the greatest thing about music, opening up new eyes and hearts!
Mujer virtuosa, llena de virtudes, poseedora de una belleza especial y una voz serafica. Jamas habra otra como ella. Esa voz es como estar escuchando el mismo paraiso. A virtuous woman, full of virtues, possessor of a special beauty and a seraphic voice. There will never be another like her. That voice is like listening to paradise itself.
Scoprii Ofra Haza grazie a questa hit, nel lontano 1988; la sua voce incredibile e queste sonorità arabeggianti mi convinsero ad acquistare il suo album "Shaday", tuttora uno dei dischi che ascolto di più. Mi manca la sua voce, RIP
Phillippe Henry, Ofra Haza n'est qu'un nom artistique qui veut dire en arabe yéménite la gazelle blanche. Je me permets de vous traduire grosso modo galbi , version originale de 1984. Mes yeux sont rivés au ciel car la voie céleste est ouverte. Oh mon dieu aie pitié de moi et guéris mon cœur blessé. Par quel sentier te rejoins, et combien je souffrirai après toi. Par quel chemin d'amour s'infiltrer dans ton coeur. Mon cœur aime chérir, mais avec qui? Je n'ai pas d'ami qui écoute mes lamentations et qui m'aide Ce petit coeur est blessé depuis que tu m'as délaissée Personne au monde à part toi, capable de me soulager.
@yvie7777 I"m the same way. I love music from many different cultures. I think people miss out when they only listen to one type of music.There are many great singers around the world, Ofra being one of them. Thanks for posting this song.
i'm macedonian-christian,but i listen the music from ofra since,1987,i'm her fun all this year,quality of the music have no limits.i'have been in izrael in 1989,very beautifil country,i don,t uderstand the language,i have meat jews and arab people there,
Divine voice disappeared too soon ... today would be a world star like many ..... great tribute to ofra haza woman from the enchanting voic.....r.i.p ofra.
alberto giannini Absolute power and passion in her voice! A beautiful star what had a horrible destiny. She is unforgettable by the one who ever heard her singing. We are lucky to have her recordings at least. Rest in peace...
@Axaios70 that's so amazing to point out. I'm totally blown away right now. Your comment made me think og Golding's Lord of the Flies. Can you elaborate more on this idea, please? What about the general themes behind the clip? And what is their relationship to "galbi" and freedom?
I came here for the chorus chord progression. It's stunning! But not without her. I just have no idea why I remembered this song tonight. Haven't heard this in maybe 10 years.
I remember this song at most when I think on the big israeli Popstar Ofra Haza -- RIP ! A great GREAT SUPERSTAR who died too early at AIDS- Painful vor her family and her friends ..... But such a emotion-loaded voice !!!!!!!
@yvie7777 You're awesome, if the music speaks to your soul who the hell cares if it's in some unintelligible, unwritten language even! Stay true to your musical taste, there's so much music out there just waiting to be discovered by ears that are willing to listen to the beauty, regardless of language and culture. After all, beauty itself lies within that wonderful mosaic I like to call variety.
RockAmerica was a music video suscription site, where people could get hold of music videos on a subscription basis. It was used in the 80's and 90's, until the internet started to have videos on websites.
