She was a Yemenite Jew but later immigrated to Israel. She sings in Hebrew. This song is from a poem by Rabbi Shalem Shabazi who was one of the most highly honored poets of Yemenite Jewry in the 17th Century. Ofra died of an AIDS related illness on February 23, 2000. She was only 42.
@lovenikka this is the hebrew part the yemenite part is from 2:21 im tired so i didnt get the who meaning. one word i did got: yitjaljalu=yitgalgelu=will roll (they). good night :)
höre dir dieses lied an und du weißt wo die juden hingehören sie haben zu recht den staat israel wieder gegründet denn dort gehören sie hin in ihre vorbestimmte heimat
On dirait qu'il y a comme un ... très gros Interdit -super taboo- sur cette chanson et sur ce clip. Je pense que certains devraient revoir la Bible et la Torah ...
Really a very nice vocal performance, I am impressed with her long vocal flights, excellent music and composition - her voice reminds me of Enigma
