01 Mata Hari - Ofra Haza

This is Ofra’s self-banned and never officially published album “Queen In Exile“. Originally recorded in 1995 for BMG Ariola München. She wrote most of the songs on this album. But they wanted Ofra and Bezalel to work with people who tried to make Ofra to be a popstar and they didn’t like it, so they cancelled the deal instead. Fortunately we can still enjoy this masterpiece. We provide full English translations for the mixed language songs. Mata Hari (Margaretha Geertruida Zelle) was a Dutch exotic dancer and courtesan who was convicted of being a spy for Germany during World War I. Lyrics: Mata Hari Mata Hari Galu galu galu galah Tikitah tikitah tikitah tah Galu galu galu galah Mata Hari Galu galu galu galah Tikitah tikitah tikitah tah Galu galu galu galah Mata Hari Like a butterfly she crossed all the lines Like a butterfly she dreamt, danced and died Like a butterfly Like a butterfly Galu galu galu gala
