Thanks you very much for the translation. I'm sure that you not only me, but many others are very happy with what yoiu have done. We share our admiration for Ofra. What a pity that she passed away so soon. Since a few days I have Im Nin'Alu as ringtone.

[naushad50]

Can someone provide me the lyrics in English? I'm very moved by the song, but don't understand a word.

[wforlife7]

@naushad50 first stanza ---------> then he was gray and quiet , and quiet and he had nothing in the eyes

except for the same look -

the look that recognized just for pair

the look , the look , the look that recognized just for pair

[wforlife7]

@naushad50 second stanza  ---------> and once to leave as a sapper , as a sapper

in threatening darkness night

suddenly returned in a silence -

in a weird and speechless silence

in a silence , in a silence , in a weird and speechless silence

[wforlife7]

@naushad50

third stanza -----------> then to us he told and his voice , and his voice

choked from tears and torn

i heard baby wailing -

wailing and crying with the wind

wailing , wailing , wailing and crying with the wind

[wforlife7]

@naushad50

fourth stanza ----------> and once broke with the combat , with the combat

belted grenades and fire anger

clung to the tank and silenced -

and silenced with the combat and the thunder

and silenced , and silenced , and silenced with the tank and the thunder

[naushad50]

Extremely touching voice. I can keep on listening to you for hours, Ofra.

[MrKephil]

Le charme de la voix qui nous envoûte. Au delà même des paroles un message profond circule dans nos cœurs. Cela dépasse l'échelle de nos consciences et s'adresse à l'humanité dans la douceur.

[YerushalaimMyLove]

הוא \ שזה יהיה נעים אלי, כאשר אני בחיפוש של מילים של שיר, שאתה הסתייגת של פרשנויות חסרות תועלת. באופן לבבי.

[YerushalaimMyLove]

In French, we use to write "Chalom" to say "Shalom", but that doesn't mean "Khalom". It's just a question of phonetics. You're welcome !

[jnyveslbl]

There is no word to describe her voice and singing!

A pure wonder!

[YerushalaimMyLove]

Hi ! I live in Paris and speak both French and English, but not Hebrew. Anybody here to translate this wonderful song please ? Chalom !

[bluemarkus]

chalom means "dream" in hebrew haha. every single letter matters...

[Hypatia696]

Amazing voice..

[7liisaa]

Hevenly voice, never fofgotten.

[comtrad100]

[scotseza]

A beautiful soul gone but not forgotten.

[KikaBFischer]

ofra haza was a beutyful woman

[yaelcohen10]

עפרה המקסימה, כמה אני מתגעגעת אלייך ולקולך המדהים שלא היה ולא יהיה כמוהו לעולם.

היית פשוט מלאכית עם קול של מלאך ואישיות מדהימה. צנועה, חייכנית, טובת לב ויפיפיה אמיתית.

Sorry

[TheBestmusicworld]

Beautiful songs, and the modulations hear is so lovely, especially the Minor to Major-sequence...2:37

Invinsible voice, poor Ofra!!

[4Dsign]

The best musical instrument on world (Ofra's voice) was not man-made, perhaps YHVH has something to do with it.

[zxaryoma]

[yonataneshel]

(1)

He was gray and silent

end there was nothing in his eyes.

but that look,

that look only the two of them could understand

And one time he went out as a sapper (explosives expert)

in a night of threatening darkness

and he came back in silence

in wiered, mute, silence.

[yonataneshel]

(2)

And he told us, and his voice

was chocked with tears and stammered

"I heared a baby weeping,

weeping and crying with the wind.."

And one time he storm in to battle

wearing his webbing, grenades and fire

cling to the tank and went there he ended

taking with the tank, in the thunder

[yonataneshel]

(3)

And if a day will come and we'll tell

what we can bring up and rememeber

a story about one who once was

one who once was and no longer with us.

*I'm not sure if my translation is passing the story well,

but the song is talking about a guy who sacrificed himself

by exploding the ammunition he had on him on an enemy tank..

shmuel0293!

todah rabah for your translation of the lyrics of this heavenly beautiful song 'Haya Hu Afor'. It helps us less proficient talmidim ivrit a whole lot.

I've also wondered how it is possible that so many of the most BEAUTIFUL songs have been created by ISRAELI songwriters. Songs like this, that not only appeal to your ears but open your heart. It must be a stroke of jewish genius.

shalom mi schvedia!

[adamabagina]

השיר הזה פשוט מצמרר. והביצוע שעפרה נותנת לו פה גורם לשערות לסמור ולעיניים לדמוע. עפרה היתה מלאך.

[swedgoy]

I've listened to three songs by Ofra in maybe fifteen minutes and I just have to stop here to compose myself.I'm in tears........

I'll be back tomorrow.

Lailah tov!
