ofra haza galbi

[Axaios70]

Interesting symbolism on this video clip. IMHO, Ofra is a saint. Most of her songs ooze saintliness and love of God, like Im Nin Alu. For those who missed it (and perhaps for Middle East history savvy people), the person who pursues Ofra on this vid uses the printed symbol of the fly, that is to say, the symbol of Baal, lord of flies. In 1:55, Ofra stands above a fountain with a dead insect inside. The symbolism is clear: Ofra rejoices on the death of the insect-god, Baal.

[NoBoundary66]

Absolutely in the same way...the voice of Ofra was so intense and incomparable...i have the same feeling with I'm Nin Alu...ok, close your eyes and listen...we miss you all...rest in peace...

[TheSadmoon16]

God's mercy on ofra

the best voice ever :)

[renesme666]

I think that her voice must fly in the space to present the plannet- I never heard voice like that!!!! she is a godess!!!

[milosxZV]

The magic song :)

[LanguagesClass]

galbi = my heart

Galbi yheb al hawa la tmanu meni = my heart likes loving so dont stop it from that.

Loved your music, Ofra. Miss you!

[1wildfang2]

Hat mich in meiner Jugend begleitet, genau wie ihr erster Song. Nach wie vor Klasse.

[Jerusalim997]

Very nice song.

[jnyveslbl]

I concur.

Personally, I don't need to understand the lyrics, the words are creating a melody of their own and this adds up to the overall musical portrait. Just like any other intrument, really. She introduced me to "arab" singers and I am glad about that!

One last thing, I am glad to know all you guys feel the same!

[nefera53]

love it :):):)

[Ellatha1]

One of the most beautiful voices ever...I didn't understand the lyrics because I don't speak Hebrew or Arabic but her singing transcended all language and cultures (unless one just wants to hate). Such a tragic death. May her memory be eternal.

[floutour]

:) galbi galbi coeur zemer love i love you

[DaLynxfighta]

She speaks arabic wery well.

[venuslady1]

wunderful..!!!!!.. ofra R.I.P. :-(

[jordan77025]

عفراء حيه في قلبي الى الأبد

[kiwikate2]

I heard she did have AIDS and she got it from her husband who was a drug addict and a cheater. She fell in love with the wrong person. May God rest her precious soul may her memory be a blessing in Israel.

[Ellatha1]

@kiwikate2 I read that as well, but that doesn't mean it's true. However, I also read that a year or so after she died her husband committed suicide...that makes it even more tragic for me.

[jnyveslbl]

@kiwikate2 Yup, that is right.

When she met that creep her fortune was around 35 milions (bank account). And when she went to hospital several days before she died (weighing almost 75lbs), there was only several thousand dollars left.

The snvabtch did rip her to the bones...

[e1964R]

SHE NEVER HAD AIDS HER MED RECORD IS HERS AND HER FAMILY.

[onlinelondon]

@e1964R

......and she died from??? According to you???

We do not need more concealment about her tragic end!!

At the end we don`t know, but it`s tragic.

[DRUNKENRAMBLE]

one of my favorite songs as a kid ;)

[pandrea72]

perfect woman ... a God-given singing, unfortunately, this is only the past ... but the presence will always be here!

[LatexTrekkie]

I remember this song at most when I think on the big israeli Popstar Ofra Haza -- RIP ! A great GREAT SUPERSTAR who died too early at AIDS- Painful vor her family and her friends ..... But such a emotion-loaded voice !!!!!!!

[mriraq2005]

she is amazing and I love her

[piabajpai]

one of my favourite album......melancholic voice,melliflous m,usic..........what to say,she is the official singer of da planet.....

[egebamyasi]

She left her mark worldwide - God rest her beautiful soul.

[sabrinacle]

@egebamyasi WHAAAAAAAAT?????? Has Ofra Haza passed away???? Say it aint so

[NThemighty]

@sabrinacle She passed away in 2000. the reason of the death was Aids, from which she suffered in her last years. may her soul rest in peace.

[sabrinacle]

@NThemightyI went to wikipedia after I made this comment. I feel so out of touch for not knowing. I think it was a very busy time in my life and I just wasnt paying attention. Thank you for letting me know. God rest her gentle soul. We, her fans were so lucky to have her this short time

[ayinchet21dec]

This video is so Hitchcock. I LOVE the "Rockamerica" fonts, The roots of the old MTV.

[nacarada1]

Una estrella que brilla en el firmamento.

[busybuzzbuzz]

My favorite song of hers.

[marcondes912]

[subbaeticum]

Esta canción marcó una época. De las más pegadizas de Ofra Haza.

pozdrav od macedonia

[HorseMcD]

Loooove this woman - when were looking at directors we were shown this video but it was the music I loved - sadly Ofra Haza is no longer with us. I bought the album but there were some naff euro pop offerings on it by far the best stuff was in her own language and style....

[OuttaEgypt]

Mujer virtuosa, llena de virtudes, poseedora de una belleza especial y una voz serafica. Jamas habra otra como ella. Esa voz es como estar escuchando el mismo paraiso.

A virtuous woman, full of virtues, possessor of a special beauty and a seraphic voice. There will never be another like her. That voice is like listening to paradise itself.

[tizvicious]

the first time i heard this song was in 1986 on kroq ,wow even then it was inspiring and all these years later it still rocks!

[was083]

RIP - We will never forget you

[fuckdapuss]

she look arabic!

[lovenikka]

@fuckdapuss yemenit jews may look to you similar to arabs but thats not true, they have different customs and appreance, and the yemenite jews language is not arab and not hebrew! they may look look like arabs because they lived in arab country. morrocan/iraqi/syrian/libyan/a­lgerian jews may also apear to you as arabs.

[ixceix]

this is hands down my favorite song of hers. some of the remixes are amazing as well.

[SimonTube71]

Scoprii Ofra Haza grazie a questa hit, nel lontano 1988; la sua voce incredibile e queste sonorità arabeggianti mi convinsero ad acquistare il suo album "Shaday", tuttora uno dei dischi che ascolto di più. Mi manca la sua voce, RIP

[malditoscumbieros]

R.I.P. Ofra haza.

[roderua]

l'unica artista arrivata anche da noi con una lingua finora mai sperimentata musicalmente a livello internazionale e commerciale peccato ci abbia lasciato troppo presto

[ferryireland]

Yes, she'll be forever a living legend

Ofra Haza Legend

[nacarada1]

Nos quedará su música y su voz,era una mujer muy bella y con una voz capaz de captar la atención de cualquiera,a mí me cautivó.

[scratchback2001]

its because djs like me played her tracks in the 80s i was one of the first djs to play enigma sadness in Australia.

[1111haman]

i love it so much

[medhatgaballa]

far away from being Egyptian , Muslim and she is Israeilain and jew, but I am keeping to her all the respect for the perfect performance and the easy music touches any heart, either the Arabic words or the English words , both are nice and been used perfectly serving a great performance, but felt sorry for the old clip

[kk2death]

رائعة يا عفراء رائعة

[kaludupika]

i love this song /Ofra haza is amazing

[yvie7777]

Im a lover of music. All music! whether I understand the language or not and this cd was one of my favorites. My friends often wonder how the hell I came to know songs like this and all I can say is that I feel sorry for people who limit themselves to the familiar! needless to say, I was never in charge of the music when we went cruising, Haha memories...but i guess being half mexican half italian that doesn't speak anything but english listening to Ofra Haza does seem a bit off. Cool!

[queenofsheba1000]

@yvie7777 lol i like ur comment whats the name of the album

[OuttaEgypt]

@yvie7777 You're awesome, if the music speaks to your soul who the hell cares if it's in some unintelligible, unwritten language even! Stay true to your musical taste, there's so much music out there just waiting to be discovered by ears that are willing to listen to the beauty, regardless of language and culture. After all, beauty itself lies within that wonderful mosaic I like to call variety.

[localeni]

@yvie7777 i totally agree with u,my friend!

greetings from greece!

"peace"

[Ecuaruby]

@yvie7777

I"m the same way. I love music from many different cultures. I think people miss out when they only listen to one type of music.There are many great singers around the world, Ofra being one of them. Thanks for posting this song.

[shaharmos]

@yvie7777

[EliorFein]

WOW Hayzari you're amazing. Where did you find this clip ? Whats Rock America ?it has the fonts of the old MTV

[dee74raz]

RockAmerica was a music video suscription site, where people could get hold of music videos on a subscription basis. It was used in the 80's and 90's, until the internet started to have videos on websites.

[shnozwoman]

she's beautiful, and a great song

[ChicReal]

Yes, Ofra Haza crossed the cultural boundaries. She sang in Yemenite as well as Arabic. Very beautiful song, I still love it. Shalom!

[youarpa]

I ♥ This Song

♥Ofra Forever♥

[moshrosh]

[bianco699]

[helloalissn]

I love this song so much! Thanks for putting it up:D

[Orchid0210]

Excellent song! Touching my soul. Is it arabic language? Not hebrew?

[nycchic120]

she was israeli but she sang in a bunch of other languages including arabic.

she knew arabic cuz her family were jews living in yemen before they went to israel

[Orchid0210]

Thank you, nycchic120! But is this song arabic or hebrew language? I know that galbi means my heart in arabic.

[nycchic120]

no problem. it's in arabic

[canaan1967]

It's arabic.

[Babyeagle]

It's indeed Arabic, which is the a Semitic language just like Hebrew - both are Semitic languages that share great deal of common words and similar characteristics and vowels :)

[kk2death]

@Babyeagle yes indeed , but they fight each other , stupid world !

[MEqwed]
