In 2001, 12 renowned divas of song from all over the world gathered in the world-famous Greek amphitheatre in Taormina, Italy, under the direction of Andre Heller. This project was called: "In the Heart of the Light - The Night of the Prima Donnas."

Transliteration:

Ben lu hayah li

Le'echoz beyado velifsoa le-at

Translation:

I wish I had a son
A little boy
Bright, with black curly hair
I would take his hand in mine
And stroll slowly, slowly
Through the garden
Little boy

Uri, I'd call him
My Uri!
How gentle and clear this tiny name
A glimmer of joy
For my little boy,
Uri, I'd call him
Uri, I'd call

But I still bitter as Rachel
I am still praying as Hannah in Shiloh,
I am still waiting for him.
I will
Wait
