Скачать или смотреть 11 Ben Adam Ba'olam (Man On This World) - Ofra Haza

In 1994 came Ofra’s deepest album ever. Kol Haneshama (The Whole Soul) is in Hebrew, there are no English or Arabic parts in the songs this time. The style is deep, emotional soul with folk elements. The hauntingly beautiful title track was composed by Ofra and Bosnian composer Goran Bregović for the movie „Queen Margot”, based on Alexandre Dumas' novel (on the movie soundtrack it was renamed „Elo Hi”).
The word „man” here refers to a human being (either male or female).

Lyrics (English translation):

Man, man
Hold on to the world strongly
Embrace it
And do good for all

Don't fall into and decline the Abyss
Life is beautiful, look up to the Heavens
Man on this world

Let's raise up our hands
And keep our fingers crossed
For the good of this world
Man on this world

Man, man
Hold on to the world strongly
Embrace it
And do good for all

May the world go on and continue to turn
May you be filled with the heart's desire
of the people
Man on this world

Therefore adopt the world into your heart
And kiss the lips of the one you love
Man on this world

Man, man
Hold on to the world strongly
Drink from the cup and leave nothing over
Rinse yourself clean of every bitter taste

Man, man
Know how to give in and to forgive all
Embrace the world, and go out to join the dance
Man on this world

Abyss…
Look up to the Heavens
