In memoriam Ofra Haza (1957-2000) and her wonderful music.
Bat-Sheva Ofra Haza (Hebrew: בת-שבע עפרה חזה) (19 November 1957-23 February 2000) was an Israeli singer, songwriter and actress, commonly known in the Western world as "the Madonna of the East". Her voice has been described as a tender mezzo-soprano.
Of Mizrahi Jewish (Yemenite-Jewish) descent, Ofra's music is known as a mixture of traditional Middle Eastern and commercial singing styles, fusing elements of Eastern and Western instrumentation, orchestration and dance-beat, as well as lyrics from Mizrahi and Jewish folk tales and poetry. By the late 1980's, Ofra was an internationally successful artist appearing regularly on MTV. During her singing career, she earned many platinum and golden discs and her music proved highly popular also in the club scene. By the 1990's, she regularly featured in movie soundtracks, such as that of Dick Tracy (1990) and the Prince of Egypt, and her vocals were popularly sampled in hip-hop too.

Shir Ha’Mea (Song of the Century) – Ofra Haza (1987)
Lyrics and music: Efi Netzer
Adaptation: Nancy Brandis
Originally from a radio record from 1987. The song was written to mark the 100 years of industry in the Land of Israel. Ofra is accompanied by the chorus of the Haifa Refineries.
Lyrics (English translation):
This is a song for the entrepreneur, for the perfecter of the product
For the farmer, for the milk man
This is a song for the engineer, the draftsman, the singer
And with that mouth we will sing from the heart
For the airplane designer, for the textile worker
For the manager of the carpentry factory
For those who pour the steel, who drill the missile
For all these we will sing and sing
Be a real singer for the workers, who sang a song for the producers
Sing praises for the exporter, how a hundred years have passed
Be a real singer for the factory, give respect for the creation
Sing a song of great hope for industrial life
Life is work, work is life
It is our bread that changes generation after generation
We will be wise and strong and pleasant people
On our face all the good will pass
This is the song of songs about a century gone by
In which we have come this far together
This is how we will walk hand in hand towards another century
To an independent and solid future
To work and work, to work and work
Be a real singer for the workers, who sang a song for the producers
Sing praises for the exporter, how a hundred years have passed
Be a real singer for the factory, give respect for the creation
Sing a song of great hope for industrial life

I was so sad when Ofra died. I still listen to this just to remember her a little bit. Wonderful woman.
Beloved Angel ,we´ll never forget you , Ofra Haza forever
Ethernal masterpiece
It really sounds like her early-mid 80s tone
How Is this album called?
שיר השירים בשעשועים Shir Hashirim Besha'ashu'im (The Song of Songs In Amusement)
Quero a tradução para o pirtuguês deste que é considerado o segundo hino nacional de Israel.
Jerusalém de Ouro O vento das montanhas, claro como o vinho E o cheiro dos pinheiros É levado pela brisa do crepúsculo Junto com o som dos sinos E no sono profundo da árvore e da pedra Presa em um sonho Está a cidade solitária E no seu coração, um muro Voltamos aos poços de água Ao mercado e à praça O shofar chama no monte do templo Na cidade velha E em cavernas nas montanhas Milhares de sóis brilham Descemos novamente ao Mar Morto Pelo caminho de Jericó Jerusalém de ouro De bronze e de luz Sou um violino para todas suas canções Jerusalém de ouro De bronze e de luz Sou um violino para todas suas canções Porém hoje venho cantar para ti E te elogiar Eu sou o menor dos teus filhos jovens E um dos últimos poetas Teu nome queima os lábios Como o beijo de um serafim Se eu te esquecer Jerusalém Que é toda de ouro Jerusalém de ouro De bronze e de luz Sou um violino para todas suas canções Sou um violino para todas suas canções Jerusalém de ouro De bronze e de luz Sou um violino para todas suas canções Sou um violino para todas suas canções
Hope yo I can upload again soon! 🙏🏻 Wishing for the day when we get Ofra’s very final (unreleased) songs.
Wishing so much for a “Lazarus” moment. 💔🙏🏻
Resurrect Oh Ofra!!
Very beautiful!
A Serbian poet, speaking about the premature and tragic death of one of our great actresses said "EITHER THERE IS NO GOD, OR HE TAKES ANGELS TO KEEP HIM COMPANY". Every time I hear Ofra Haza I remember those words. Rest in peace, angel Ofra.
Sad but beautiful 😥 Thank you for sharing ❤️
Thank u for uploading this
You're very welcome! 😊
O Father, as I listen to this , it brings memories of watching the movie with my children. May we never forget the covenant that God made with ABRAHAM, ISAAC, and JACOB in Genesis 17, Psalm 105:8-11" He remembers his covenant forever, the word he commanded, for a thousand generations, the covenant he made with Abraham, the oath he swore to Isaac . He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant : TO YOU I WILL GIVE THE LAND OF CANAAN AS THE PORTION YOU WILL INHERIT." To this day..your LAND and the nation of ISRAEL still fighting physically for the PROMISED LAND. MAY THE CHURCH OF GOD CONTINUE TO STAND WITH YOUR NATURAL INHERITANCE, FOR YESHUA YOU CAN TRACE YOUR GENEALOGY TO KING DAVID. FATHER WE PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM, THE CITY OF OUR GOD. ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏✝️🛐🕎🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱
Thank you ❤🙏Shalom
当時、この音楽を聴いてとても驚いた。 ずっとこの音楽のことを忘れていたが、またこうして辿り着けたのがとても嬉しい。 現代の技術と今の人にも聴いてほしい音楽の融合だ。

Freedom, love and peace for all people
❤❤❤

A legendary woman gone too soon but forever immortalized in The Prince Of Egypt
Come back soon 🥹💔

I swear there's a different version on the greatest hits one that sounded a lot more like it belonged on the album Temptation.
Yes, her compilation albums often contain different versions or re-recordings of her songs.

Prachtige nederlandse vertaling en koor!!!
Thanks for the fond memories of the days when Ofra both sang and looked as though she was the happiest and most vivacious person on Earth! 😊
Köszönöm az évszázad dalát!❤
A misspelling in the title - it´s supposed to be "Shir" instead of "Shil".
Yes, I'm aware, thank you!
יש טעות בכותרת. צריך לכתוב " Shir"
כן, תודה

Can you upload subtitles?
There are Hebrew subs, which can be auto-translated to your preferred language 😉 Check the options! I cannot really add anything more to it, these translations are pretty fair.
I added English subtitles, for your convenience 😉 Maybe this way I could catch some phrases better.
@@theexiledqueen0223 thank you very much! Much appreciated!
Thank you Exiled Queen for sharing such wonderful music on here

Magnificent artist!

Beautiful and sweet duet
Thanks for this. Can you translate her interview from the Yair Lapid show from 1997?
Will do soon 😉
Nice little comedy at the beginning. Ofra pretending to be “Barbara Streisand?”
Not quite, it's about Gidi wanting to find some megastar to sing a duet with and he tells his assistant who to call up. But eventually, he picks Ofra. 😊

thank you for the translation
Beautiful! Is there also a video of this?
Not that I know of.
