Let me tell you a SECRET... And make this song 10X times more beautiful for YOU... She sings: "A desert of sands and secrets" ; The desert, with the help of the winds, conceals and reveals everything under the sands, constantly, like a game of truth and lies... You think you see something for a second, and the next second it's gone... Was it your imagination ? Are you going crazy ? Or was it there ? A desert is made of sand: the hebrew word for sand is "Chol". Chol in hebrew also means; mundane, earthly, un-holy... We humans go through the desert that is life, can't tell the truth from the lies, we are thirsty for the eternal truth, like a man in the desert is thirsty for a drop of water to save his life.... We suffocate under the lies, the sands of life... "A Fountain which is revealed among the sands, the spring of my youth, gushes, and dances in a gust of wind"..... A fountain, or Maayan in hebrew, is a source of water, or "Mayim" in hebrew. Mayim also means eternal truth, which is divine, holy, the opposite of sand or "chol"... Can you find the fountain in your desert ? Can you find truth, instead of lies ? Can you be holy, in an unholy land ? Will you give up and die of thirst ? Will you confuse water with sand as you wander through the desert ? Will you go crazy in the search for truth ? "In colors and voices, that were born from the desert"... The truth is flirting with us through the sands in visions and voices... The sand and the water, the truth and the lies, all born in the same place, the desert, all in the same source.... The poison of a snake kills, but from the snakes poison also comes the medicine.... Is the snake bad, or good ? Or do you not know how to look... ? When you will hear the sounds, will you listen ? When you'll see the colors, will you look ? "Even if the sky of the moon will rise, I shall not sit and shall not rest".... When the darkness descends upon you, in the dark night of your soul, will you give up ? "My lips shall not run dry, if I sing to the desert".... As we say in hebrew, a hint is enough for the wise who understands... As the sands of time continue to consume our temporary bodies, and our souls search for our eternal home, our hearts yearn to be whole, to be in peace, we are given a choice: will we fight, to find the truth of life ? Will we listen, and look ? When our lips are dry, and the lies blind us through the desert, will we find the fountain of youth ? The fountain is within us, eternity awaits us, and all roads lead back home. It's all real. Follow your heart.

Hi from 2023 who still hear it❤

Un grand Merci pour ces si belles chansons

I love this song, this is one of outstanding songs in the world. The music is Arabic, the lyric is Hebrew, the band is from Turkiye, and the persons of the band comes from different countries. I fall in love with LIB instantly. Greetings from Indonesia, hope you would have a case show here.

I got here from "The Epic of Gilgamesh in Sumerian." I'm glad I did. Ordered two almums of Light in Babylon.

My goodness, this is beyond beauty. Her voice is so powerful. The music is mysterious

The powerful voice, the magnificent cinematography, the beautiful Melody, is so majestic.

Lyrics Translation : Ya Sahra ( Desert) Lyrics: Michal Elia Kamal A desert Of sand and secrets A Fountain Which is revealed among the sands The spring of my youth gushes and dances in a gust of wind in colors and voices that were born from the desert even if the sky of the moon will rise I shall not sit and shall not rest My lips shall not run dry If I sing to the desert מדבר של חול ושל סודות מעיין אשר נגלה בין החולות נביעת נעורי היוצאת בריקוד במשב הרוח בצבעים וקולות הנולדו מן המדבר גם אם שמי הלבנה יעלו לא אשב ולא אנוח שפתותיי לא יבושו אם אשיר אל המדבר

How is it possible that a guy from the flat Nordic green and wet plains gets touched so deeply by this music? Obviously there's something we all can recognize... Which evokes unexpected and strong hope....

In Desert this beautiful music is Outstanding. Love from Pakistan

This music unfolds like a picture book full of stars, where birds come chirping, spinning farandoles, cracking rattles and dancing wizards. From rounds to nursery rhymes, the arrangements display their mystery, the songs fill with fervor and the instruments have the roundness and brilliance of chimes 🌺🕊️🙂

Turkish Translate(Türkçe Çeviri) A desert (Bir çöl..) Of sand and secrets (Kumlardan ve sırlardan..) A Fountain (Bir pınar..) Which is revealed among the sands (Kumların arasından ortaya çıkan..) The spring of my youth (Gençliğimin baharı..) gushes (Coşkularım..) and dances in a gust of wind (Ve rüzgarın içinde ettiğim danslar..) in colors (Renklerin..) and voices (Ve seslerin içinde..) that were born from the desert (Çölden doğdular..) even if the sky of the moon (Gökyüzündeki ay..) will rise (yükselse bile..) I shall not sit and shall not rest (Oturmayacağım ve dinlenmeyeceğim..) My lips shall not run dry (Dudaklarım kurumayacak..) If I sing to the desert (Eğer çöle şarkı söylersem..) Hata olduysa affola :)

Simply perfect, I do not understand the words but I understand the soul of this music that is difficult to describe in words. I'm glad that you exist. Greetings from Bosnia

Every tone or note sung from Michal, especially in this hymn, weakens my knees and inspires me to know the words, and trying to pronounce them in an attempt to feel that power that I hear in her song. And it feels fantastic

Ya Sahra (desierto) Letras: Michal Elia Kamal Un desierto De arena y secretos Una fuente Que se revela entre las arenas La primavera de mi juventud brota y baila en una ráfaga de viento en colores y voces que nacieron del desierto aunque el cielo de la luna se levantará No me sentaré ni descansaré Mis labios no se secarán Si le canto al desierto ❤️From Spain

she reminds me Ofra Haza, may her soul rest in peace Inchallah

Харизма девушки просто зашкаливает!!!! очарован околдован!!!

I love Light in Babylon...I love this song. And this is the first time, since I have started watching youtube, that I read good comments, that I see people talking friendly with the others. This song is magic. Thank you so much for the translations, lyrics and all the constructive comments!

This is still one of my favourite songs. I can't get enough. What an extraordinary singer, thank you for this and plenty of success to you 🙌❤

This is how one can make sense of the division, hate, and ignorance by making beautiful music that syntetize who are--beautiful human beings! Thank you, Michal

I’ve been listening about for half an hours. İts really addictive song.

Ne kadar mühteşem bir ses dinlerken mest oluyorum

This clip has been watched almost 1 500 000 times. I think I did at least a third of it. Wonderful stuff!

Потрясный голос... Потрясный до мурашек.. Глубокий, с чувством, хочется и хочется слушать!!! 😍талантливая, красивая девушка💋💫💖💖💖

This beautiful song in Hebrew, the inspiring Arabic music, and the multicultural musicians elevate us to the height of human spirit and emotions. For me it has the strong message of universal love at a time when religious, linguistic, ethnic, and political differences are constantly the sources of wars and death around the globe . The "wind" in this song is the loving nature of humans that blows away the sands of prejudice and ignorance. May this wind one day bring peace and happiness to all living creatures. Love to Jews, Muslims, Zoroastrians, Baha'is, Budhists, Jains, Agnostics, and Atheists, ... Love to ALL from Tehran/Iran (Persia)

This is EXACTLY the music I was looking for ..I really love this. The music and the singing is mystical.

I have this song in my cellphone and listen when i go to work... Greetings from Colombia

I love the way you sing in Hebrew while keeping that Yemenite way of pronunciation and successfully blending it with Mizrahi way of stressing several sounds.

Amazing! Her voice is Majestic!

Much much love from The Netherlands. I’ve never been to the middle east but you make me want to go !

She is absolutely beautiful. And that voice is the voice of the ages. Pure joy listening to the whole band. Truly talented

I bow to you for the amazing music, once again! Long live Light in Babylon!

The sounds brings me back to Baghdad... I miss the people I've befriended in my time there.

" I see the light of the living in everyone's heart my blood stirs my memory to temptation in the midst of great pain and sorrow, oh father you are the light of the world forever."

One mystery I can't solve: Good music is not well known. This should have been viewed by millions. May be it is quality vs quantity...I don't know....

You took my heart. I didn't understand a word. Yet, the way you delivered, I understood everything. Love from Pakistan.

This is magical.

Since I've first listened to your music, I'm in love. Some kind of meditation I describe your music. Make me feel alive, like I can breathe again. This song is the picture of how music can heal you. Thank you!
