  • awesome voice. thank you so much for posting this.

    

  • I miss you, angel :(

  • Comment removed

  • I love Ofra.

    Elo Hi ... is it like Elohim ? Elohim being a plural - singular Eloha so it should be Gods ...

    Elohim means literally in ancient Hebrew: 'Those who came from the sky' ... the truth is all explained at rael.org for those interested

  • @Elohandre

    elohi means my gods or my god

  • @Sextorator Yep, means "My God." in the Qur'an. also Mizrahi Jews allows as Names of God in Judaism- As Hebrew and Arabic are closely related Semitic languages, it is commonly accepted that Allah (swt) (root,Ilah )

  • @Sextorator

    Thank you dear brother :)

  • Irreplaceable Ofra !  How much I miss you...

  • This is so beautiful! She had such an amazing voice and will never be forgotten, at least in my book!

  • When the power of love overcomes the love of power..the world will know peace.....

    Jimi Hendrix

  • Wow wow wow! She is amazing! I almost wish I could understand the language. But if I could it is quit possible I would not be able to appreciate the overall arrangement if I were paying attention to the words. Too bad we all can not communicate with music. No words.... no politics.... just beautifull song from our hearts.

  • @fubar1369 Translation: My God, my God... All the Soul which You Placed in me - my God... Yes... there is a lot of Secrecy and Deceit, and Loves that cannot Be as we are Born into this Life. What remains? Yes... about the many, many Days, about the Pain that hasn't stopped as we are Born, and ask for a little Mercy, my God... My God, all the Soul which You Placed in me, my God, all This Soul - what, What is It? My God, only give Strength to Everyone; my God, only give Strength forever
  • @SunnyNeverland Thank you very much Sunny. That was very nice of you to take the time to translate the lyrics. I suppose that each person interperts musical lyrics differently. It sounds to me like she is telling us to never give up hope and that we can find peace within ourselves if we believe it can be so. Life is precious and so is love!

    Thank you again.

  • @fubar1369 I didn't translate it myself :) I found the translation on the net. & yes i believe that the music & the way this song is delivered say a lot more than its literal words. Its my favourite song. Life is precious & so is love indeed my friend. Take care & be blessed.

  • Ofra, you are undescribely brilliant !!!

  • According to wikipedia, Ofra Haza's voice has been described as mezzo-soprano of near-flawless tonal quality, capable of lending itself to a variety of musical styles with apparent ease. She's been gone for 11 years and still no one in the entertainment business can walk in her shoes.

  • @richenuff01

    ....nearly flawless?; her voice IS flawless...not to talk about her very rare ability to wary her voice in different registers and change the colour and ambiance to whatever she wants, in order to describe the emotion that the lyrics demands; - so soulful....Ed

  • @onlinelondon I agree...I was just repeating the description according to wikipedia.

  • All the soul which you placed in me - My God... Yes, there is a lot of secrecy and deceit. And loves that cannot be. As we are born Into this life. What remains? Yes, about the many, many days About the pain that hasn't stopped As we are born And ask for a little mercy My God... My God, all the soul which you placed in me My God, all the soul What, what is it? My God, give only strength to everyone My God, give only strength forever

  • Speechless. Song pulls at the root of the soul....

  • Voice from Heaven. God blass You, Ofra... Amen.

  • Ofra Haza's voice and her songs give me hope for this world.  She was a child of earth, but a singer from the heavens. Rest in peace...

  • sooo Divine, thank you for posting xx

Blessings and Prayers and may God continually bless Israel!

  • This woman was a gorgeous nightingale...

  • "Elo Hi" is actually a mishmash of THREE songs of Yugoslavia's prominent Rock band "Bijelo Dugme", led by Goran Bregovic in his earlier career (70-90's). Listen carefully and you'll hear all the bits and pieces:

    /watch?v=QlZHqWOjwRw

    "Ako ima Boga" (If There Is God) (1988)

    /watch?v=DoJXe52oEwc

    "Kad odem, kad me ne bude" (When I'm gone, when I'm no more) (1986)

    Song 3:

    "Ne gledaj me tako i ne ljubi me više" (Do not look at me in that way and kiss me no more) (1975)

    /watch?v=y4r07BhsT84

  • we have that in greek too! i thought it was greek! how stupid of me!

  • shir yaffeh ve ishah yaffah

  • i have a jewish gypsy background i'm dying right now so beautifull is she today 8 may is an important day for us!!!!

  • Un moment d'éternité sur Terre.......

  • SHALOM VERY NICE SONG I LOVE OFRA !!!!!

  • I recommend you Ofra-people also so listen to Susanna Hoff's several very nice songs; even that those two Jews cannot be compared in music and voice quality, they are sister in the Jewish sense; and Susanna does have a good voice; but the fascinating with her is her very witty character; she is also very beautiful; like Ofra, actually on some images they resemble a lot.

    ed

  • Stunningly beautiful and spiritual.

  • איזה קולללללללללללל

  • Sing along with the memorial song if you like: The Eyes of Ofra Haza....w&m: Eddy Jacobsen

  • what are the origins of this song? Is it a traditional jewish song? Or is it a Goran Bregovic song?

  • @schwarzykopfbaby  This is from the Kol Haneshama (My Soul) album. Words: Bezalel Aloni, Ofra Haza,

    Music: Goran Bregovic, Ofra Haza.

    The film version "Elo Hi" is an adaptation of this.

  • The way she use her voice is incredible!!

    Not many present singers manage to do that.

    ed

  • I've always enjoyed this song. I'm a little confused, though. On the CD Kol Haneshama, this song is labelled as "Near The Well Of My Homeland", or something of similar translation. Could you clarify this for me?

  • @intothesun00 "kol haneshama" = the voice of the soul"

  • Thanks, Ofra. Thanks for all. Forever.

  • Me gusta oir te cantar y tu musica.

  • Goran wears white and drinks off white drinks.

  • אלוהיי כל הנשמה שנתת בי... אלוהי... כן, יש הרבה הסתר פנים ואהבות שאי-אפשר כמו שאנו נולדים אל תוך החיים מה נשאר? כן, על ימים רבים רבים על הכאב שלא חדל כמו שאנו נולדים ומבקשים קצת רחמים אלוהיי... אלוהיי, כל הנשמה שנתת בי אלוהיי, כל הנשמה מה מהי?!... אלוהיי, תן רק כוח לכולם אלוהיי, תן רק כוח לעולם
  • Ofra Haza had the most beautiful voice EVER.

    Sounds like heaven.

  • كل هذه الروح يا إلهي، يا إلهي كل هذه الروح التي أودعتَ فيني يا إلهي أجل، هنالكَ أشياءُ عديدةٌ غامضة محجوبةٌ، و هنالكَ أكوام من العشقِ الذي لا يُمكن أن يُدرَك كمثلِ حينما نولدُ في هذه الدنيا ماذا يبقى؟ أجل، بحقِ كل هذه الأيام العديدةِ، العديدة بحقِ الألمِ الذي لا يتوقف، كمثلِ حينما نولدُ في هذه الدنيا و نحن نستجدي منكَ رَحَماتِك يا إلهي.. يا إلهي، كل هذه الروح التي أودعتَ فيني يا إلهي، كل هذه الروح، ما كنهها؟ يا إلهي، هبِ القوة كلا منا يا إلهي، هبِ القوة كلَ العالم.

    אני אוהב אותה!!!עופרה חזה אחת ויחידה

    והשיר אחד החזקים

  • По-моему. Эмир Кустурица использовал эту песню в фильме "Черная кошка, белый кот".

  • @becinaleks

    Interesting. What is that movie about?

  • @EuphrasieF Вы русский знаете, или Вам переводят?

  • @becinaleks

    I don't know a lot of Russian. If you speak English that would be better for me.

  • @EuphrasieF Я плохо говорю по-английски.

  • @becinaleks

    Oh, well. I'll look up the movie on my own.

  • This song is stunning mainly because of Ofra Haza's voice. I was on sunny Mazurian field when I heard it first (on the radio). These sounds seem to be twinkling in my mind, I adore all of this musical experience.

  • She is the best ever singer.I only use to listen to indian music till i stamble upon this lady.I sooo sad to know that she is with the Lord.Can some one please write the lyrics. She IS BEST EVER.

  • oohhh my GOD !!!

    I miss you ofra

  • unbelievable......

  • yes she praing its beautiful song with very power she talking with god about her soul she saying ty for her life and soul

  • I'm from Norway, so I don't understand a word of the lyrics. But It doesn't matter, this is so beutiful that it moves me to tears. Ofra Haza was simply the best. I've never ever heard such a beautiful voice in my life.

  • Is She praising the LORD? if yes,God bless her!!!! If not this song means nothing!!

  • @111256able

    All Dear Jewish Ofra Haza sings means EVERYTHING to me.

  • @111256able Yes Elochai - is my God, and she is talking to the Lord of Christians and Adonai of Jews, she was godly woman, it would be nice to meet her in heaven

  • @bluegenegene- Thank you for sharing this glorious translation. This song has the splendid sounds of an angel singing His message. Adonai has caught the attention of believers & unbelievers world-wide through such a 'magnificent voice'. Adios Ofra Querida...

  • so nice

  • Bravo!

  • WOW she is amazing. I must say I am shivering whale listening to this song.

    Ofra Haza is one of the best singers in the world...

    her voice is definitely divine - voice of an angel.

  • outstanding....I love You Ofra

  • Does somebody have the full translation???

  • It is so amazing.... Everytime I listen to this I either cry or get goosebumps, she has the best voice.

  • She was not from Planet Earth, just visited us to share her divine voice.

    I think!!

  • She was not from Planet Earth, I think, just visited us to share this golden voice of hers.....

    How strange it is!

    How beautiful it is!

    How divine!!!

    How irresistible!

    1:43 onwards, drives me mad!!

  • <3.

  • she makes me cry when she sings this song,so beautiful

  • Lovely Ofra...  :*(

  • jonpentry :<<ur comment was very stupid !!! Haza was only suffering from pneumonia or an extended bout with the flu..her condition rapidly deteriorated after she entered the hospital. By the end, Haza was unconscious after suffering liver and kidney failure and was said to be receiving intravenous drug... her heart finally stopped beating because of an abnormal increase in the amount of hydrogen in her body...why is this fault of her husband ?!

  • Beograd68, that was not stupid comment. Her husband did infected her with HIV, it is true.

    She was great and this song is breathtaking.

  • Now THIS is singin'!!! Forget all this Ke$ha and pop stuff! :-)

  • I dont understand a word of it.

    But By GOD it pulls at your heart strings !

  • She left us so early -- but cannot die!

    The most beautiful voice ever...

  • This is truly Heaven on Earth. And now she is gone to where such souls rightfully should dwell...as they are just too good for our Earth.

    Cheers, Mate

  • @banmate6 in sheol the grave as everyman goes to sheol and then rises when YahuShua calls them out and still even them a choice is given if they had not known Yeshua :)

  • W-O-N-D-E-R-F-U-L!!!!!

  • מדהימה!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Mi G-D, my G-D, what a voice!!!!! Where and why did she go? Angel!!!

  • sadly she died of AIDS some years ago. Her husband gave it to her.

  • I never get tired of this song; but I do need to be in that very special mood when listening to it...

    I really should have known what kind of mood she was in when on this very moment singing here...

    It is so affectionate; emotional; soul-searching...

  • Beautiful!!!!!

  • The Jews have the most melodious hearts in the world - that statement about the Jews is stated, unbelievingly, by a person who was involved with nazi-Norway!!

    But I do agree; the Jewish songs are so emotonal and colourful...

    Sang here by Ofra enhanced that fact of reality

    ed

  • English Translation: (1) My Lord; all this soul you've granted me with.. Indeed, more is hidden than revealed And more love are impossible than not And as we're born into this life what is left, after all? Yes, over many many days of non-stopping pain As we are born into this world All wee can hope for is a bit of grace My Lord..
  • (2)

    My Lord; all this soul

    you've granted me with

    My Lord; all this soul, what is it after all?

    My Lord, grant us all with strength

    My Lord, grant this world with strength.

  • The movie dates back to the 16th. Century playing in France.

    ...a daughter of the Catholic royalty marries a Protestant man.

    After a short time of the newly wed couple, she finds herself amidst in the chaos, because her husband gets captured during a Protestant massacre.

    ...the way Ofra expresses the the words of love and pain is just amazing. Beautiful melody. Tks. for this nice share.

  • It is beautiful... though I wish I could hear what she is singing.. I mean understand.. I only speak western languages..

  • She sings:

    My G_d, my G_d, all the soul that you gave me, my G_d. Yes there are lot of hidden faces and loves that are not possibles, so as we were born into this life, what remains? yes over lot of days, over the pain that not stop, so as we were born and ask for a little mercy. My G_d, all the soul that you gave me, My G_d, all the soul, what it is? My G_d give strong to all of us, My G_d give us strong always.

  • :-) Thank you very much Hentheos for translating it. It gives me goosebumps to know what she is actually saying. I can identify with it.

  • Thanks charlotteamalie! I found their website and it has a lot of albums I was looking for.

  • I have found several websites which sell the album by the same title but they are all sold out. I'm assuming this album isn't produced any more. I don't suppose anybody knows where I can find this song (or better yet, the entire album?).

  • Call Sifrutake to get the album: 718-382-9128.
