I announced it on other social platforms, but now I'm doing it here: I'm having a baby in a few weeks! It's been a trick to control my breathing enough to sing these past months (not to mention the exhaustion), but I just had to record this heart-wrenching lullaby. It's one of my favorites.
Ofra Haza was a vocal and linguistic goddess (she sang most of the different language versions of this song, holy wow) and I've looked up to her singing prowess since I saw The Prince of Egypt in theaters, back in 1998. This is my humble tribute to her and to this incredible film. May she rest in peace. ❤️

I can only imagine how wonderful it would be to have a mother that would sing like this to me as a child. Your kid is very blessed. Definitely feel the love in this song. The Hebrew felt incredibly touching!

@kerry-annpeters885 4 года назад

Yes it is beautiful I just don't understand what she is say when she stops doing the English bit... Can anyone tell me.??? I use to sing this song to my baby boy as well when he was little... But the English version

DELIVER US My sweet and gentle child dont you fear and be afraid! My child, this from me you'll receive just a chance to be saved to God I'll pray again Oh God, please deliver Don't you cry, fall sleep peacefully listen to the waves's sough I'm putting you to sleep with a lullaby I shall always be with you River's water which joyfully/peacefully stream keep this perfect treasure if you find a safe shore please bring him there I'm pretty sure that is the translation. :)

Hush now, my baby Be still, love, don’t cry Sleep as you’re rocked by the stream Sleep and remember my last lullaby So I’ll be with you when you dream River, oh, river Flow gently for me Such precious cargo you bear Do you know somewhere he can live free? River, deliver him there Al na tivke, heradem bim'nuchah! Hak'shev le'ivshot hagalim Otcha mar'dima beshir eres Imcha ehyeh le'olamim

Thank you! She was such an incredible talent and is well missed. ❤️

@sagedrakarian3103 4 года назад

Honestly, this is one of the few songs that have actually made me tear up. For a song to do that, it takes not only one extreme singer but a truly worthy story to be told. Not only does this song cover it, but Mrs. Serena, you have complimented this song as beautifully as anyone I've ever had the chance to hear. Kinda like the female version of Peter Hollens. He's in the top 3 for the males. Hope you have a wonderful day ma'am.

@samirahernandez2461 3 года назад

*reads description, "it's been a trick to control my breathing these past few months"* Singers breathe from their diaphragm. That struggle is real. I also had issue controlling my breathing. Sometimes I breath from my chest by accident. That's why my music mentor would put his hand on my stomach and say "Move my hand". It's a exercise for singers to make sure they are breathing from their diaphragm. Now I do that. I put my hand on my stomach and say in my head "move my hand". Y'all should try it And BTW, singing to a baby before he/she is born promotes a better outcome of recognizing the mother or father voice so they can sleep.

@jasonrose1270 3 года назад

@signer25 5 лет назад

congratulations on the baby. with all the beautiful singing you've done while pregnant, the child will be a marvelous singing him/her self im sure. I bet you even have a special lullaby you sing to your child at bed time. also, what language are you singing in? is that Hebrew? I hope you sing more songs. Perhaps Baby Mine from Dumbo if you haven't all ready. You really have a talent for lullabies.

You know, I grew up watching The Prince of Egypt back in my childhood. I think you've done a very nice take on a soft lullaby. The low pitches could've used some work; however, otherwise it's a near-perfect cover. For me, it's a solid 9.5/10. Congratulations.

@bea7823 2 года назад

I’m sorry, I usually don’t reply to comments that are a few years old, but may I ask what does toda raba mean? It’s just that, as a native Portuguese speaker, it looks uh… funny (in Portuguese: toda = all/every and raba = a very vulgar way of saying butt/ass. Naturally I know this has nothing to do with the actual meaning, I just got really curious).

I used to sing this song to my daughter. She passed away at 7 months old this was the last song I sang her I have a tattoo of a daisy in the stem it says "river, oh river" every time I hear this song memories come back of all the times I sang it to her. Thank you for covering this song. Your version is the last song my baby heard before going to the palace in the sky. The last time I saw her at her final viewing I sang it to her at least 20 times while I sobbed. She had cerebral palsy I laid her down for a nap and she didn't wake up.
