07 Face To Face - Ofra Haza

Signed to Sire Records, Ofra recorded „Shaday” with producers Izhar Ashdot and Wally Brill in both Tel Aviv and England, released in 1988. Her emergence onto the global stage coincided with the rise of a new genre, which quickly came to be tagged as "world beat". It became her most successful album to date, selling a million copies worldwide with its masterfully mixed dance-flavoured songs in Hebrew and English.

We provide full English translations for the mixed language songs.

Lyrics:

Only when you travel
Very deep inside yourself
Can you recognise the stranger
You've become

And suddenly you're standing
On your own
Far from home
Far from home

And when we're face to face
Look in my eyes
And when we're face to face
Tell me no lies

You know we need help
Yeah, yeah, we do
Yeah, we need help
And I'm with you
All of the way
All of the way
All of the way
All of the way

Only love can take a man
And turn him inside out
Time to turn the page and start
A whole new story now

Once again we're standing
On our own
With far to go
With far to go

And when we're face to face
Look in my eyes
And when we're face to face
Tell me no lies

You know we need help
Yeah, yeah, we do
Yeah, we need help
And I'm with you
All of the way
All of the way
All of the way
All of the way

And when we're face to face
Look in my eyes
And when we're face to face
Tell me no lies

You know we need help
Yeah, yeah, we do
Yeah, we need help
And I'm with you
All of the way
All of the way
All of the way
All of the way

All of the way
All of the way
All of the way
All of the way
