Avihu Medina said after Ofra died: “When you were 15, a young singer in Hatikva Workshop Theater, you sddenly told me you quit any artistic activity, and that you will not play and sing any more. I couldn’t agree with this decision of yours, and I did everything I could to convince you to change your mind. I composed the song ‘Longings’, your first solo song, and promised to watch you and ecort your way back to the stage. Just so you go back…”

Ga’agu’im
Yom yom ani tohah
Im kol shayachuti
Tzomachat mimekomi

Yom yom ani tohah
Im zehu chalomi
Im zehu retzoni

Lit’ot betoch, lit’ot betoch hasvach
Asher kemo pituy ro’ed mul me’oni
Asher kemo pituy ro’ed, ro’ed mul me’oni

Aval ani mimekom rachok
Mimekom rachok

Aval ani mimekom rachok
Mimekom rachok

Yom yom ani tohah
Im kol chalomotai
Yivnu li makom

Yom yom ani tohah
Im kol she’ifotai
Yihyu rak kechalom

Asher tamid, tamid im bo ha’or
Boche bi rak ha’etzev vehazikaron
Boche bi rak ha’etzev vehazikaron

Ki ani mimekom acher
Mimekom acher
