Ofra Haza-Shirei Ro'im Veo'havim

[onlinelondon]

The blossoming rose at this time...how crazy pretty she is here

[yonataneshel]

(1) From the top of the watchtower I overlook around me And my eyes shall swallow the distances Calm land in the middle of night Say, Oh watcher, what is it tonight? Shepherd's flute is singing As the herds goes down the hills What els is there for me, Kna'an? Wind blowing over the water And between the stalks in the fields What and who els is there for me, Kna'an?

[kvtassel]

thanks for these lyrics. Thank you Ofra Haza... your still alive. Many thanks to the Jewish community to keep alive the only language without babel.

[yonataneshel]

(2)

Evening now, on the opening of the well

Wake up my daughter, fill up the jug

Sun light is leaking and passing away

From amid the mountains it's posing me riddles

What is it daughter, making the jug tremble?

And making your eyes wide opened as a well?

Like a small lamb your hand has slipped away

From my heart.

[yonataneshel]

(3) Somewhere out there, in the mountains Two shepherds, boy and girl, between their herds She's for him, he's for her Both eyes filled with love She's for him, he's for her Both eyes as burning flames ---- and it goes on and on.. beautiful story but I feel the translation is taking the edge off its beauty so I won't go on..

[kvtassel]

It may be so, but I'm learning the language. I prefer to learn it the slow method... like a child learns who knows no language. No other language would be worth doing it this way. Just listening to Ofra Haza for now... Noa also. It's a non-babel language.

[ThatMagicElf]

Please do, you've translated almost everything so why not the last part as well? :o)

OFRA HAZA - THE SONG OF SHEPHERDS AND LOVERS

1983

[educatedpug]

Agree with all. Ofra was unparalleled!

[2008975]

Beautiful ... She was something special

[swedgoy]

She can sing any genre and the emotions she expresses while singing.... she is simply adorable and, yes, divine.

Her qualities are eternal and she will live on in our hearts, forever.

[veolinah]

Oh G-D she is so beautiful...

[ScottKilbourn]

She's always beautiful, no matter what era she is singing in!
