What is Ladino?
In 1492 the Jews were expelled from Spain. They were forced to leave without their belongings, but they carried with them their heritage, their language (a dialect of Spanish called Ladino) and their love of music to their new homes. For centuries, the heartfelt and melodic music of the Sephardic Jews accompanied them all in the nations they settled, from North Africa to Balkans to Turkey, Greece, Italy and America to present-day in Israel. Those diverse influences are evidenced in their culture and music.

"Ofri Eliaz gives Ladino another vision, almost as if it were a perspective from above. Eliaz designs (with the help of her musical producer Shai Bachar) Mediterranean flowing music; music which is both eastern and cosmopolitan, like a haute couture designer who makes the optimal ethnic dress, to 12 Ladino songs. The result is enchanting and intriguing. The Ladino receives a surprising twist; the title song has a Baroque quality. Fresh and interesting." (Amos Oren, Yedioth Ahronoth, 30-1-05)

Lyrics:
Si la mar era de leche
Yo me aria peshkador
Peshkaria mis dolores
Kon palavrikas d'amor.
Dame la mano tu palomba
Para suvir al tu nido
Maldicha ke durmes sola
Vengo a durmir kontigo.
No me mates kon kuchiyo
Ni menos kon revolver
Matame kon tus amores
En tus brasos murire.
If the sea were made of milk
I would become a fisherman
Fish my misery with words of love.
Give me your hand my dove
To climb to your nest
Cursed be you who sleep alone
So I am coming to sleep with you.
Don't kill me with a knife
And even not with a gun
Kill me with your love
So I will die in your arms.
