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 (English translation):
An angel helps, redeems and protects
An angel helps, redeems and protects
He won't leave nor abandon
In favour, mercy and benevolence
I shall ask
I shall ask you to rise and correct my mistakes
I shall ask you to rise and correct my mistakes
Please come and then answer me, answer me
Please come and then answer me, answer me
I shall ask
Please God, protect us and keep away the pain
Guard every moment with every breath we take
You know we sweat so hard for survival
Every night and every day
I shall ask
I shall ask you to stay with us tonight
To dance, not to fight
I shall ask you to stay with us tonight
To dance, not to fight
Please come and then answer me, answer me
Please come and then answer me, answer me
I shall ask you to rise and correct my mistakes
I shall ask you to rise and correct my mistakes
Please come and then answer me, answer me
Please come and then answer me, answer me
I shall ask
