[derletzteindiana]

wahnsinn, mit diesem traum von einer frau war ich im selben raum-zeit-kontinuum. ich bin schon ein glückspilz.

[rpvee]

It's amazing how, when singing live, she can either match or top the studio recording! But that's Ofra!

Awesome version of the song, too!

[JerusalemHolyLand]

Ofra Haza is my Angel !!

I am Messiah of Israel Nation!!

[d2da0sedos]

Bella cantante, bella voz, bella canción, sinceramente hipnotizante.

[marjan0071]

[JerusalemHolyLand]

Wonderful song!!

[moscher75]

Scheiß AIDS!

[gebelezeides]

ANGEL

[mitziebitzie]

Wonderful just wonderful (why can't god if it exsists) take all the people who actually make the world worse rather than better.

Surely there must have been far more cretins for "god" to take rather than Ofra??

[feliknos]

god wanted her near him as an angel.

[mitziebitzie]

Quite possibly but that's greedy surely he/she/it could have left us with a few good ones!

[feliknos]

she left us a lot of songs to enjoy but now shes looking at us from heaven and see the impact she had on this world.

FOR YOU SusieKatz1... ;)

**************************

"Im Nin'alu" (אם ננעלו) is a Hebrew poem by the 17th century's Yemenite Rabbi Shalom Shabazi (Hebrew: שלום שבזי‎, Arabic: سالم الشبزي‎), which has later been put to music, and was sung by Israeli Yemenite singer Ofra Haza and others.

The poem starts with the words :

Im nin'alu daltei n'divim daltei marom lo nin'alu

Even if the gates of the rich will be closed, the gates of heaven will never be closed.

[SusieKatz1]

She is wonderful. May she rest in peace. Does anyone know what "Im nin alu" means please ?

[titildelabretone]

genial,super

[idanbelah]

what that legendary OFRA HAZA wanted to say in this jaman song is that.. if the doors of the people (even the good ones..) are locked the doors of god are still open and remain open forever.... the most beautiful voice that ever born... r.i.p princess ofra

[videolover61]

Those musicians are fantastic! TOO BAD THEY WERE NEVER PAYED FOR THE CD AND VIDEO THAT WAS RELEASED WORLDWIDE!!!!!THE MANAGER IS A CROOK!!AND A CREEP!!!

[feliknos]

I LOVE this version! She's so good live!

[fireflyzip]

thank you for posting the lyrics

yes the drumming is great!

[spider91600]

perfect! thanks.

[moon1962]

My husband is ROCKING those drums..Ofra was and will always be, just amazing...

[djrubus]

I don't like this jazz version, I prefer electro remix by Banco de Gaia-jazz really sucks- and she has such a great voice

[hotwaiter]

I think the song was a celebration of God's open arms and descriptive of His beauty as opposed to the prejudices that people offer in this world to people who need help. "if the doors are locked, the doors of Heaven will never be barred" and so on. I love this song.

[cowboybootstomp]

One of my all time favorites. sucha great track and what a beutifull voice!!! I love her. I'm sure she is in some hevenly place now!!

[lutfialtinel]

For my Angel (Ofra Haza) I say to all songs wonderful and wonderful!

[bistra81]

i recently rediscovered ofra's beautifull music, and just want to thank you for posting this amazing performance of "im' nin alu". is this version of the song available on line? an all other songs she sung in montreaux ?

thank you

By God-This is a Woman.All you guys out there-this is what you are dreaming about.A Soul is a soul.A woman's soul is a dream.Give your soul to a good woman-and protect her infinite fineness.

[isOrangina]

what does Im Nin Alu mean ????

[ahibbyki]

if the doors of heaven were opnede or something

[csavan90]

If the doors of the nicest men were locked

The doors of heaven are not locked

[twentyjan]

if the doors are locked

if there be no mercy left in the world,

The doors of heaven will never be barred.

The Creator reigns supreme, and is higher

than the angels

All, in His spirit, will rise

[vertamus]

Tnx for this beautiful video! I love Ofra, Tnx for sharing it's amazing this perfomance!!!
