08 Gabriel (French Version) - Ofra Haza [Fantasy]

Ofra’s another video clip compilation open to the foreign audience (but produced in Israel, recorded and released on VHS in 1986). With some Israeli songs and new songs, with songs in French and English. It’s really exceptional and it’s a great regret to know that to date, no stereo DVD version is available. However, these videos at least come with remastered stereo audio now. Unfortunately, video quality could not be enhanced further. The lyrics differ again from the original Hebrew. Lyrics (English translation): Gabriel, your mom’s calling Don’t let her wait Don’t let her understand Gabriel, how often you, like her Lock yourself in your room And think of those tender dreams Gabriel, you spend your nights waiting For the dad who won’t return Death is too hard to understand for you And in your memory Gabriel, you cry in silence in the darkness Gabriel Gabriel, your friends are calling There’s no time to lose There’s so much for you to do Gabriel, duty calls you The home, the small brothers You have to replace this dad Who’s no longer with you You’re yet a child and you carry The weight of the world on your shoulders Your dreams die before they’re born Life came knocking at your door Gabriel, with a deep fighting spirit in your heart Gabriel You’re a child only by age Life isn’t easy on you You’re the older brother, you help those around you My God, where did you get this courage? Gabriel, to hold on to again and again Gabriel Gabriel, he’s in the heavens Dad is watching He’s proud of you, look Gabriel
