  • Ofra sang Shecharchoret in 1976, for a tour among Jewish communities in the US, before she recorded her first solo album.
    lyrics:
    ---
    Shecharchoret yikre'uni
    tzach haya ori
    umilahat shemesh kayitz
    va'ani shechori
    Chorus:
    Shecharchoret
    yafyafit kol kach
    be'einayich esh bo'eret
    libi kulo shelach
    Shecharchoret yikre'uni
    kol yordei hayam
    im od pa'am yikre'uni
    shuv elech itam
    Shecharchoret yikre'eni
    ben le'av molech
    im od pa'am yikre'uni
    acharav elech
    translation:
    ---
    The dark girl, they call me
    my skin was pure white
    from the fire of the summer sun
    I am dark
    Chorus:
    Dark girl
    so very beautiful
    in your eyes - a burning fire
    my heart is all yours
    The dark girl, they call me
    all those who go down to the sea
    if again they call me
    I will go with them again
    The dark girl, they call me
    son to the ruling king
    if he calls me again
    I will follow him

    I heard Ofra Haza sing this song on that tour of US Jewish communities. A Jewish friend had brought me to the concert. I didn't understand a word but the beauty of the song and the singer stayed with me all these years. When I looked up Ofra Haza online last year, I found she had become a star -- and then had died. I grieve for your loss. Her many recordings are a consolation, but "Shecharchoret" I could not find -- until now. Thank you for posting this lovely, lovely song.

    I can remember Ofra Haza when her Songs from Yemen came out; when she wore her traditional attire. When I first heard her sing, she was the first Israeli female vocalist I heard. From then on she became my favorite. As the saying goes: " You never forget your first girl". So when she died a piece of me went with her. May she rest in peace; and when her Mourner's Kaddish annually comes around, may we all take a few minutes to remember her and the contributions she made to her music.

      Completely agree. She had such "universal", how to say, voice, that she could be undrestood in any country, without understanding language. JOY IS JOY, SORROW IS SOROW. Express true feeling, Singing Hebrew. As for me , Im Christian Russian. Heard her singing in old Kaveret. Thank you, Ofra. Thank you, Israel. Shma Israel!

      This woman was very special. Nobody has forgotten her, she was an icon and still is today in Israel and elsewhere in the world. She did a lot with her talent by spreading the Jewish Yemenite culture with her songs all over the world and embracing the westerner culture in the same time. She was really one of the pionniers of World Music at a time music was not as mixed and cosmopolitan as today. Bless, bless her for it ❤️

    Such a beautiful video, her photos followed by verses of the song give such a sweet feeling of nostalgia and pay homage to a great singer and a wonderful person!

    איזה ביצוע נוגע. חותך. ממש מכאיב.

    There are things in our lives that will never be forgotten.
    They will remain in our minds, our hearts, our souls.
    Esther Ofarim and her sweet voice is an exemple of what I'm talking about.
    I love her and I always will.

    I love this song so much. I tried to buy it on iTunes but it wasn't available. Sad--it is simply BEAUTIFUL!
