Latet (to give) - in memory of Ofra Haza
Ofra sang "Latet" in 1998 for a collection of songs, now the song is also on "Manginat Halev - Greatest Hits" collection. The original version of this song is by Boaz Sharabi, lyrics by Chamutal Ben Ze'ev.
this is a tribute video to the wonderful singer who gave her heart and soul to music. "Latet" is a very emotional song for me, because of Ofra's soulful voice that evokes the heart with emotions. i cant find the right words to describe this song but these words say it. it was written by Ayinchet(hope you dont mind...):
"Eight years after the star stopped shining - but the light remains.
We thought by now we'd forget
Give us a sign
We wanted more than the pain you left
It's here all the time
You're so out of reach.... a disappearing star
And still when you look at us
You tear us apart..!"
lyrics:
---
Latet et hanshama v'et halev,
Latet,
Latet k'she'ata ohev.
V'eich motz'im et hahevdel
Sheben lakachat u'l'kabel,
Od tilmad latet, latet...
L'galot sodot b'seter,
L'hatir et s'vach hakesher
K'shehalev b'cha nitzbat
Mikol chiyuch, mikol mabat
Ata nizhar, ata yodei'a
V'chutz mimcha ish lo shomei'a
Posei'a ben hadakuyot
Ume'malei sha'ot p'nuyot.
Chorus:
Latet et hanshama v'et halev
Latet k'she'ata ohev
Od tilmad latet, latet
Ata lomed im hashanim
Livnot b'yachad binyanim,
Lichyot im kol hashinuyim.
Lirkom ita sipur chayim
V'la'avor yamim kashim
Bimtzukot v'rigushim
Tamid lada'at l'vater
v'et hata'am l'shamer.
Chorus:
Lir'ot b'toch han'fila
She'yesh makom l'm'chila
Tamid efshar shuv l'hatchil,
Kmo yom chadash, kmo karagil - latet
Od tilmad latet, latet

To give the soul and the heart,
To give,
To give when you love.
And however one finds the difference
Between taking and receiving
You will yet learn to give, to give...
To discover secrets [in secret]
To release the tangle of connection
When your heart is pinched
By every smile, every look
You are careful, you know,
And aside from you, no one hears
Walking a fine line, trying not to offend
And filling the free time
Chorus:
To give the soul and the heart
To give when you love
You will yet learn to give, to give
You learn with the years
To build buildings together
To live with all the changes.
To weave, with her, a life's story
And to get through difficult days
In distress and troubled times
To always know how to give in,
and to keep the love alive
Chorus:
To see in the midst of the fall,
That there is room for forgiveness
It's always possible to start again
Like a new day, like the usual - to give
You will yet learn to give, to give

every time i watch this, i cry. just now, that happened again. such a brilliant video, the best in all of youTube, and what a perfect tribute to the greatest singer that ever walked the face of the Earth. G-d bless the maker of this video, and G-d bless the beautifully angelic Ofra Haza

strikezone,
four your info, take a look at Chaya's Ofra site, the Yarkon Gallery, pictures 40,41,42 that I took 3 weeks ago when visiting. Picture 42 shows the three dark pebbles of granite from Sweden, placed at the bottom of the Torah pergament and from the three of us, Chaya,yourself, as promised, and from me.
Warm hugs from Sweden (now that I know you're a woman. :-)
