Latet (to give) - in memory of Ofra Haza

[macielbraz]

you've got a friend here in Brazil ! Saudades ! Descanse em Paz ! Rest in Peace ! Roni.

[MrEisenberg88]

Does anybody know whats the instrument in the beginning of the song? anxious to know.

[iosonostrano]

Ofra <3 In our hearts, le'olam!

[ThePortes1234]

You people are mistaken, this woman wasn´t a woman, she was an angel in disguised. Ofra was a messanger from God. When I first was introduced to Ofra´s world, I started doing some research about her life. I mourned this angel of God for months. She was the most precious jewel of middle east. She came on earth to bring us pure joy through her amazing music. God, how can that be possible. This angel of God was taken away from us. They used that loser of her husband to kill her.

[macielbraz]

@ThePortes1234 Verdade ! that's true ! She was an angel and a I love her song Gabriel. Roni, Brazil.

[onlinelondon]

So, so, so...soulful....surreal, really.....she is a human being - supposed to be, at least; but her voice here is transcending reality....Ed

Latet by Ofra Haza - Lyrics (Hebrew)

[BrigitteHorney]

unforgettable

[sarah123498]

She is so so beautiful...Selena and her look alike in my eyes. Both beautiful and died so young and gave the world prescious moments of their magical voice. R.I.P Ofra Haza and Selena.

[mozes314]

No words, so beautifull !

מיר ליבע איר

[Remi1948]

This video, and the song, and the divine being captured here, offer multiple new ways of breaking your heart. There is only one proper way to respond: silence.

[rpchambon]

G-d now has the best singer by his side.

[nakedBison69]

[Alegria1611]

The beautiful loving coments made of this video , has received loving answers.

love does bring peace. I have just discovered Ofra Haza, & I feel a great loss, as if I knew her. When & how did she pass.?

[Miranda1ish]

23rd of February 2000. it is said that her husband (whom she married in 15th of July 1997) infected her with AIDS. A year later he died from an overdose... All the best!

[patricmorin562]

One of the most beautiful Hebrew song and Ofra brings it beyond the beautiful...

[noregrets54]

What a wonderful video in memory of Ofra.

[USABOYMAN]

...the season just started

[nakedBison69]

the person who put this together is such a genius, as well as a sensitive soul. this is the finest, most gut wrenching, spine chilling youTube video I have ever seen. every time i see it, i cannot help but break down in tears. i think of ofra haza, of my parents, of karen carpenter, of israel that does so much good for the world and hate is universally hated. i think of death and of the tragedy called life

[USABOYMAN]

naked - you made one of most unforgettable comments. You probably will be interested to read book The tragic meaning of life by Miguel de Unamuno.

And I also ... cry when I hear this song as well as Ofra Haza's Tfilla

[nakedBison69]

thank you for appreciating what I have expressed.  I unfortunately discovered the magic of Ofra Haza after she so sadly passed away, but now she is the ultimate angel in my eyes

[USABOYMAN]

Yea - and you are an angel before her...

[nakedBison69]

thank you. nobody has ever called me an angel before. :-)

[Iloveofrahaza87]

...the light still remains... :-)

[ofrahazasongs]

You find the stereo version here

Enjoy this utterly beautiful songs in stereo; he way she uses her voice here I feel is beyound explanation....

[ISHERMATH]

latet offer nissim feat ofra haza

[guauguau6]

This is the best version of "Latet"

I've ever heard. How we miss you,dearest Ofra!.You were unique!

[NDashik]

(3)

Как важно научиться уступать,

Когда не можешь встать после паденья,

И, взяв иглу, на сердце вышивать

Слова заветные слова прощенья!

С годами ты научишься ценить

Любовь и дар идти по жизни вместе,

Поймешь, как важно чувства сохранить,

В которых клялся ты тогда невесте.

[NDashik]

(2)

Не бойся дверцу сердца приоткрыть

И выпустить из клетки все секреты.

Без них с любимой легче жить,

Искать вдвоем вокруг ответы.

Распутать вместе паутину ссор,

Несказанных обид, оброненных упреков,

Чтоб больше не сорвался с губ укор,

Чтоб избежать болезненных уроков.

[NDashik]

Обожаю, эту песню в исполнении Офры! Это Божественный голос. Для тех кто тоже ее любит, перевод на русский:

Дари себя, всегда дари!

Дари, когда ее ты любишь.

Себя дари с утра и до зари,

И лишь даря себя, любовь получишь!

[yonataneshel]

(1) To give; to give your soul and your heart completely To give, to give it all when you truely love. And how to find the difference, between taking and receiving? You shall learn to give, someday. To reveal secrets covertly To untie the entanglement of the knot When your heart is crushed inside, with every smile, with every sight. You're careful, you do know, But other than you no one can hear it You're stepping between the nuances And filling up empty hours..

[yonataneshel]

(2) You're learning, along the years To build, together. To live along with all the changes around To weave a life story with her And how to go through rough days In distresses and storms Always know how to let go And how to preserve the essence.. To see how even in the fall there's room for forgiveness One can only start over again Like a new day, like nothing has happened To give.. -end-

[pabspale]

thank you so much

[snorrik1981]

This is so beautiful, when the highlight of the song begins so does the highlight of the video, the sorrow of her people at her grave. Very well done, *salute*

[shmamit77]

I have never heard anything so beautiful in my whole life. This song has been sung by many Israeli singers, but nobody performed it so perfectly and emotionaly as Ofra did. It is totally mesmerizing - the voice of an angel.

Rojak, thank you very much for posting. This video of yours always leaves me in tears.

[TheEyesOfOfraHaza]

The beauty of this song, I never sieze to ponder and wonder about...

It is like being drawn into Heaven...

It is so emotional in a very, very special way.

Poor, poor Ofra, how tragic your beautiful life ended, and I am trying to grap the pain you suffered the last year....

[helow98]

Hi Rojak, I just watched this video again, and like everytime, it's totally outstanding, I get the chill each time, I still can't believe the overwhelming emotions I get everytime I watch it, this is really a wonderful job you made and it's one of the best legacy I've seen so far. I felt like telling it again once more, as a thanks for the huge emotions you gave us in having made this project.

[nakedBison69]

every time i watch this, i cry. just now, that happened again. such a brilliant video, the best in all of youTube, and what a perfect tribute to the greatest singer that ever walked the face of the Earth. G-d bless the maker of this video, and G-d bless the beautifully angelic Ofra Haza

[BMASTOUR]

G-d bless her soul .. Benny Mastour New

York ,,,, From BatYam ... Ofra Haza was a Legend .....

[nakedBison69]

this is by far THE greatest youTube video in existence. the person who put this together, is absolutely brilliant, and obvious has a very special soul as well

[swedgoy]

gadol meod!

[groovyhoovy613]

gadol

[COBYKOEHL2]

It keeps on calling me back.this song captures the life in the gorgeous soul of ofra haza.masterpiece.

[swedgoy]

strikezone,

four your info, take a look at Chaya's Ofra site, the Yarkon Gallery, pictures 40,41,42 that I took 3 weeks ago when visiting. Picture 42 shows the three dark pebbles of granite from Sweden, placed at the bottom of the Torah pergament and from the three of us, Chaya,yourself, as promised, and from me.

Warm hugs from Sweden (now that I know you're a woman. :-)

[strikezone6498]

thank you so much swedgoy!! i truly appreciate it.. thanks also for the pictures.

[naninac063]

Idindn´t know her, but i have just watched the videos and heard the music, She was a great woman a nd singer I thought

the songs are eternety

[COBYKOEHL2]

nothing compares.

[nakedBison69]

oh good!  will you marry me? :-)

[Ochsenburg]

It captivates me every time I listen to Ofra ... not only because of her capacity as a unique touching singer ... but the lyrics are adequate on a very high standard ...

Therefore a big hand to you strikezone6498 :))))))))) for posting the lyrics in origin and translation too ... its a big support giving the message!

Congratulation to the superb made video too ..

it lets dip into the mirror of your soul ... beautiful ;):)

[nakedBison69]

I just watched this video for the upteenth time, and once again, found tears streaming down my face. i very rarely compliment any man, but the guy who put together this video, has a very special soul. i hope he has the happy and fulfilling life that he clearly deserves. I am shaking as I write this down, so moved am I by what I just watched and heard. There is no doubt whatsoever that Ofra Haza was not human at all, but a genuine angel sent to us by G-d

[nakedBison69]

i still can't get over the beauty of this video. the guy putting this together truly is a genius. every time i watch it and cry over our loss of such an angel named ofra haza, i also marvel at the tribute paid to her here. if only ofra herself could see this...

[educatedpug]

thank you strikezone

[dimoontje]

[caprajo]

I lived in Israel from 1994 to 1999, and used to love to listen to ofra, I reckon she was the most beautiful singer that I have ever seen. The words in this song bring about emotions that are difficult to write about.

[nakedBison69]

whoever watches this without finding tears running down their face, has ice water running through their veins. what a beautiful soul ofra haza was...a perfect, innocent, pure, super talented, beautiful, gorgeous angel whose soul was too good for our world...i do not think there is a caring person alive who has known ofra haza, and has not wished her to be alive again, smiling her angelic smile, singing with that hauntingly beautiful voice, songs that she sung like they were prayers to G-d

[helow98]

Thank you so much, again, you know, it makes the whole page of my site much, much, much more emotional, which is the goal of this site. Thanks for allowing me this, truly a masterpiece.

[yudikjon]

What a loss to the true music enjoyers of the world. Penetrating!

[Linkash56]

great jobb strikezone..., toda raba!

[COBYKOEHL2]

long live the gorgeous angelic voice of Ofra haza.perfection.

[romayor314]

[RosalindaPaczeko]

beautiful video..

[portuguesephaena]

Thank you Strikezone6498.

This is s wonderful hommage to Ofra Haza. I am sure she would be proud of your work.

Watching your video and being able to read and understand the lyrics made me very emotional - it made me cry... I can't give you a better compliment than this. Please continue to make the work of wonderful artists better known. This is exactly what things like the Internet and Youtube should be used for!

May the year of 2008 bring some more giving and peace to all

[strikezone6498]

hi, thank you and everyone for the kind comments.

[helow98]

Whoa, along with "Remembering Ofra Haza", these are the two fantastic videos. Your work here is extensive and the mastering of system gives advanced result that had me blown away by far. I wasn't expecting to be that touched when watching it. Beautiful, truly beautiful, and very skilled person to work that on, along with a good sense of art. merci beaucoup.

[ayinchet]

Amazing video. Truly. Extremely dramatic. You chose often very sad clips of Ofra, very passionate ones, but you remixed the clips and the pictures absolutely fitiing with the music. Wow. Great work, I'm proud having such a response to my tribute. And anyway, it's great work. Toda lecha.

[nakedBison69]

ayinchet, you are also to be commended. I do not know what your relationship has been with ofra haza, if you were ever friends with her, or even her relative, but it is clear that you appreciate who ofra haza was, and for that, you must be acknowledged and honored

[Madeleine030988]

This is a great tribute to Ofra Haza. I sometimes think of her family and how much they must have suffered because of her passing away to early. But her parents should be proud for raising her so well. I will always admire ofra because she never let the money take control over her life. I don't think she ever forgot what circumstances her parents came from. If there exists angels, I think Ofra was one of them.

[nakedBison69]

ofra haza was clearly an angel. her soul was too pure for our corrupt world, but her kind nature insisted on gracing our world for four decades. then it was time for her to go back to Heaven, to sing for G-d and all the angels up there, who can really resonate to her Divinely inspired musical prayers to G-d, which is really how she sung all of her songs

[scarpia1965]

toda raba. missing her so much...

[Reverie626]

Oh beautiful video. I can't beilieve it has been 7 years since she died. All of us stil feel grieve for her. She was so beautiful and the voice of an angel. Thanks for posting this beautiful video.

[ShuffleLives]

Beautiful video.I thank you.Never could I have imagined this extraodinary brightstar could die within my lifetime.

[armypunker]

sad i love this song i learned it from my dad she will allways be remembered from my heart.........................­...

[swedgoy]

A very moving tribute to a most fantastic and captivating woman.

Thank you, strikezone6498.

[JoMarieM]

One of the best Ofra tribute videos that I've ever seen. If ever a thing can be very sad and very beautiful at the same time, this one was it. Ofra was truly a woman who knew how to give of herself, not only of her music, but of her time, her money and her love; therefore this song is very fitting.

[Unlike230]

Thank you, such a beautiful tribute. The translation is greatly appreciated.

[tomeriko]

Thank you very much for this video.

It is so powerful song with sadness and hope,

sung from heart...

always makes me cry..

[KNJGSY]

Wonderful, beautiful, and desperately saddening that she is gone - even after this time.

The greatest female popular singer of the 20th Century turning a beautiful song into a classic.

This video has been uploaded six days before the 50th anniversary of Ofra Haza's birth. A lovely tribute to her memory.
