Elo Hi (Canto Nero) - Ofra Haza. From the soundtrack of the film «La Reine Margot» by Patrice Chéreau, based on Alexandre Dumas' novel
Music: Goran Bregović
Lyrics: Bezalel Aloni
Kol Haneshama - The entire soul
Translation of lyrics:
My God, with all soul you have instilled in me
there exists much secrecy and deceit after we are born in this life
and love cannot survive.
My God, for all those many days of the unceasing pain
we are asking for Your Mercy.
My God, with all soul you have instilled in me
please give strength to all people
My God please give strength for ever.
Ken, yesh harbei hester panim
v'ahavot she'i efshar
kmo she'anu noladim
el toch hachayim.
Elohai, elohai
cawl han'shama she'natata bi
Elohai ten rak ko'ach l'chulam
Elohai, ten rak ko'ach l'olam.
Canto Nero...
Ken, al yamim, yamim rabim
al hak'ev sheloh chadal
kmo she'anu noladim
u-m'vakshim k'tzat rachamim
Elohai, kol han'shama she-natata bi
Elohai, kol han'shama
mah, mah hi?
Elohai, ten rak ko'ach l'chulam
Elohai, ten rak ko'ach l'olam.
