東西樂壇天后──以色列至尊歌姬〔歐佛拉．哈莎〕與美國流行女皇〔瑪丹娜〕的交集──中東抒情味的〔Open Your Heart／打開你心扉〕

I see you on the street and you walk on by
You make me wanna hang my head down and cry
If you gave me half a chance you'd see
My desire burning inside of me
But you choose to look the other way
I've had to work much harder than this
For something I want don't try to resist me

Chorus:

Open your heart to me, baby
I hold the lock and you hold the key
Open your heart to me, darlin'
I'll give you love if you, you turn the key

I think that you're afraid to look in my eyes
You look a little sad boy, I wonder why
I follow you around but you can't see
You're too wrapped up in yourself to notice

So you choose to look the other way
Well, I've got something to say
Don't try to run I can keep up with you
Nothing can stop me from trying, you've got to

(chorus)

Open your heart with the key
One is such a lonely number

Ah, ah, ah, ah
Open your heart, I'll make you love me
It's not that hard, if you just turn the key

Don't try to run I can keep up with you
Nothing can stop me from trying, you've got to

(chorus)

Open your heart with the key

Open your heart, I'll make you love me
It's not that hard, if you just turn the key
(repeat and fade)

美國流行女皇瑪丹娜（Madonna）在９０年代後期已是公認的傳奇巨星

開始有歌手翻唱其名曲　集合成致敬專輯

繼〔Virgin Voices 1: A Tribute To Madonna〕後

美國獨立唱片公司Cleopatra再度發行〔Virgin Voices 1: A Tribute To Madonna, Vol. 2〕

有十幾位歌手重唱瑪丹娜歌曲

其中被譽為‘東方瑪丹娜／中東瑪丹娜’的以色列天后歐佛拉．哈莎（Ofra Haza，１９５７－２０００）也在受邀之列

據聞這位‘中東瑪丹娜’相當欣賞西方瑪丹娜

哈莎翻唱了娜姐１９８７年的美國冠軍曲〔Open Your Heart／打開你心扉〕

跟原版強勁的舞曲節奏不同

歐佛拉版被改編成一首柔緩的抒情曲

在充滿中東異國的民族電子編曲下

哈莎以她清亮的歌喉詮釋這首情歌　賦予跟原版完全不同的中東浪漫風情

介紹這首東西方瑪丹娜難得的交集給各位
