08 Tzur Menati & Se'i Yona - Ofra Haza [From Dusk Till Dawn]

From Dusk Till Dawn was a ~50 min long TV show originally broadcasted in 1984 by the Israel Broadcasting Authority and later released on VHS in 1988 by Ergo Media Inc. to represent the best of Ofra in her Israeli career of the early 80’s. In the show, Ofra takes us on a musical journey around her homeland and traditions. To date, no DVD version exists. This tape was recorded in mono, but these videos now come with remastered sound honouring Ofra's exceptional voice. Unfortunately the video quality could not be enhanced further.

Lyrics (English translation):

Tzur Menati (Rock Of My Existence) 0:21

The rock of my faith and my support
The rock of my faith
I’m gathering my strength on the Sabbath day

Se'i Yona (Fly Dove) 1:58

Fly, dove, and hear me
In the light, guide me
Fly, dove, and hear me
In the light, guide me

And spread your wings, sing for joy
Like the song of my builders
And spread your wings, sing for joy
Like the song of my builders

And hurry to my salvation
Guide me on the way
And hurry to my salvation
Guide me on the way

Thus I will be righteous and ascended
And testify and proclaim
And bow with humility

And lift up my eyes to the heavens
And sing to me
And lift up my eyes to the heavens
And sing to me

Fly, dove, and hear me
In the light, guide me
Fly, dove, and hear me
In the light, guide me
