[MrJorisson]

Sweetest Voice

[MEDSEC20]

I have loved Esther and her voice since the early 70s when they had their own show on English t.v. Being of Eastern Med. origin myself, I really admire singers who can throw their voices every which way. Beautiful voice, haunting song.

[urigotliv]

Great song. Great singer.

Both Ofra and Esther's versions are superb.

but Ofra had a voice which is 1/100,000,000. in addition, she had that heavenly voice only at youth .when she got older her voice changed. it stayed marvelous but not as it was when she was younger.

[LBman123456]

מדהים

[katlixxx]

איזה שיר יא אללה חייב לחדש אותו ... אני כבר מתחיל לעבוד !

[tanir1551]

מחפש זמרת?

[Dhibannour]

A great and wonderful Ivrit/Hebrew/Israeli song and melody! It's to fall in love with ...

I know both versions, Ofra Haza's and Esther Ofarim's; I know both singers very well (acustically ;:-).

Though that's no competition here, I put all the both to my Favorites & Play list ...

I slightly prefer Esther Ofarim's version; but I can't really say why. I own, up from a longplay record, a clean and fine longer version which I want to upload here for you soon.

Good-bye, and enjoy! (Dhibannour)

[IBKTB]

First i heard Ofra Haza preforming this song, but Esther sings it also very beautiful.

[kirshanboim]

אסתר המלכה ! פשוט מדהימה... הגרסה הטובה ביותר של השיר לטעמי... אפשר לשמוע את השיר הזה בביצוע שלה ללא הפסקה...

[Eyatn]

נכון :)

[roishiri]

קול של מלאך.

[peterjohnsecre]

Chosen People are all very very beautiful and blessed for G-D.

Shalom!

[tanir1551]

she is amazing! such a mystic voice and a pretty person..

[danny1987100]

the best performance of this song belongs to her.such a voice.....

[meikitten]

agree

[eranshapiro]

איזה קול - נהדר

[goomer8]

I heard this song in 1973 and haven't heard it since, but NEVER forgot it. Thank you for posting it.

[saturne46]

Magnifique chant, merveilleuse voix. bravo

[peterjohnsecre]

Beautiful!

[mierpaul]

I love both versions of this song just as much as I love both Ofra and Esther. They touch my sephardic soul.

[BernardoD]

Touch any Jewish soul, sefaradi, Ashkenazi or whatever. It is the Jewish soul that vibrates with excitement and joy.

[am03ph]

Make that any human soul. Ofra and Esther are simply beyond amazing

From a none-Jewish Yemeni :)

Shalom

[BernardoD]

Agree with you. Shalom-Salaam

[annita645]

i love both too !!!! Ofra and Esther , they sing with the heart ..

[unter7bach]

Esther Ofarim- Hamalka! The Queen of Israeli Music of all times!

Nobody had such a voice, full of depths and like a singing-bird-both!

Where are you, Esther?

We miss you so much here in Israel...

[dynkur]

I love Ofra Haza but I would say that Esther's version is better. Maybe it's just because it's the original, but here we have a mature singer and Ofra was very young at the time she performed this song.

[peterjohnsecre]

Both are the Best.

LONG LIVE ISRAELI.

[CrawlingMeower]

Does anyone have the Ladino lyrics for this song? I can't find them anywhere! Please help!

Btw, my favorite version is by Glikeria.

[Eyatn]

The answer is just above your massage... morenica me llaman - put in on a Google search

[CrawlingMeower]

There are different versions. In some, a single verse matches, in some only a line. I already went through all those i found, and assembled what seems to be closest to the Hebrew words, but i'm not certain it's correct.

[MEDSEC20]

@CrawlingMeower I refer to a comment you made 2 years ago about Glykeria singing your favourite version of Secharchoret. I have been searching for this on You Tube but no luck yet. Please advise where you heard it. Many thanks.

[CrawlingMeower]

@MEDSEC20 I got it from eMule. Enter גליקריה שחרחורת and, sooner or later, you'll find it, though the download may take a long time due to the scarcity of sources.

[MEDSEC20]

@CrawlingMeower  Thank you. Dont have Hebrew on my keyboard unfortunately - anything English I can try?

[CrawlingMeower]

@MEDSEC20 just copy and paste the words גליקריה שחרחורת into eMule's search line. That should work.

[capone70]

@CrawlingMeower Morena me llaman, blanca yo naci', morena me llaman, blanca yo naci'. de pasear ganado mi color perdi'. But the melody is nothing like this version.

[shaiNaftali]

morenica me llaman, blanca yo naci...

Beutiful song...

[swissdolphin]

Esther Ofarim overtops all versions existing by various singers, thank you for posting this song WoW

[yuvalmati]

i disagree ,the best version of the song

has to be ofra haza

[Eyatn]

hehe, but Ofra breathes ;) I totally agree with swissdolphin.

[MOE435]

What suprises me most about Ofra, is that she was all about 18-19 yrs old when she sang the song of Sh'Charchorat, actually even b4 she had any rec. produced, whereas Esther..

[Eyatn]

Esther was Ofra's Idol. Everyone knows that.

[strikezone6498]

very nice.. gives me goosebumps the way she sings.

[yzad]

ממתק

[dudumorad]

I am looking for another version of this song. the singer was galit giat, and she sing it in LADINO, in tzika hadar tv program named: lo nafsik lashir.

[Ehud1793]

Thank you for posting this great song...
