Ratziti Sheteda

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ratziti Sheteda (Hebrew: רציתי שתדע, I wanted you to know) is a famous Israeli song written and composed by Uzi Hitman. The song is also widely known as Elohim Sheli or My God.

The song was written in 1979 and included in Hitman's second album "I was born to the Peace", album dedicated to his son for hopes of Peace at the time.

The song depicts a dream that the narrator has had and in the dream an angel/sailor appears with a message of peace to the children of the world. The narrator then wakes up, is reminded of the dream but does not find the Peace that the angel has promised him. Thus, the song is a plea to God to make the dream come true.

In 2003, the hip-hop group Hadag Nahash made their own version of the song with additional lyrics.

Part of the Song:

My God, I wanted you to know

A dream I dreamt last night in bed

And in the dream I saw an angel

From the skies he came to me and said :

I've come from the skies, traveled far,

To deliver a Blessing of Peace to all the children

And when I woke up I was reminded of the dream

And I went to look for some Peace

And there was no angel and there was no peace

He was long gone and I was left with the dream
