Brilliant song and excellent performence, pity though of the playback. How wonderful it would be to have seen her with big orchestra live, like on this particular album, which contains many more semi-classical gems. This is the Esther I always liked, not the popular songs, but the folksongs from long ago, with style and almost classical orchestration
Esther hat ihr Schönheit niemals verloren. Welch Dummkopf war Abi bloß, sie zu verlieren. Bei ihrer Stimme bekomme ich Gänsehaut. Auch die yiddischen Lieder sind unglaublich schön...
at least esthers lip sync is still miles better than any lip sync of the youn female stars you see our days on MTV I am pretty sure that Esther wanted to sing live but that the TV staion refused to allow it and her neapolzitan accent is original accroding to my Italian friends Bravissimo
So very very lucky Esther Ofarim. She sang and I was silenced... She is Israeli living in Germany, rather omfortable for having a musical career.
I am in The Holly Land - full of endless wars...

translation:
I saw a tigress in a woodland dell
And at my grief the monster's fury slept
Where drop drop my tears of anguish fell
The marble rude was softened as I wept
But thou that art a creature young and pretty
Dost laugh at griefs wich move even stones to pity

Popular song of Calabria (south Italy):
"Vitti na tigra dinta na silva scura na silva scura
e cu lu chiantu miu mansueta fari.
Vitti cu l'aqua na marmura dura, marmura dura
calannu a guccia a guccia arrimmudari.
E vui che siti bedda criatura criatura
Vi ni riditi di stu chiantu amari
Vi ni riditi di stu chiantu amari."

Kein Wunder nannte wurde Esther Ofarim in den Siebzigern die Callas des Folgsongs genannt. Five Stars!!
