English Translation:

(1)

Sun. the sun senk down into the ocean

As light breeze sighs around.

Who is it, to dream about about you girl,

in a remote, bare army front post?

Two gleams of light in the night (the night, the night..)

suddenly indicating me from the dark

What are your eyes saying (your eyes, your eyes...)

without ever saying it all?

[gart97]

A beautiful song and performer!

[omidoo250]

I am a Persian and don't know Hebrew, but I can still feel the sensation. voice of an angel. Perfect

[sitarnut]

Why, oh why was a real singer of this woman's caliber kept off American TV. We have been cheated for decades no doubt. It's not hard to figure out why.

שירים מדהימים

Esther was an international superstar. Perfectionst all through. Esther and Abi a dream love for all dreamers all over the world. Ofra was trying to reach her goals in the wrong time if it really was this goal she was seeking.

Ofra should have stayed the innocent girl as she was in the seventies. Singing the sons meant for her tribe. Leading the life of the tora judaism.. Then the world would gave her the title automatically. And.... She would still have been alive. (See Fairuz)

@SuperTika123 Every female can compare and compete with an other.

The most not with success so with Esther. Otoh Esther never became the Israel song queen like Ofra in the last years of her stage presence. She gave easily away, what Ofra was so desperately longing for and what Israel society was not willing to give to a Jemenite girl. Remarkably is that Esther is still looking good and singing well.

@50smokesaday It's very hard to choose, isn't it? I guess we'll just have to love them both. They are very different: Esther incredibly fine and ethereal, Ofra more earthy and robust.
