Ratziti Sheteda

Ratziti Sheteda (Template:Lang-he, 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 heavens he came to me and said thus:

I have come from the heavens, I have traveled far,

To deliver a Blessing of Peace to all children

And when I woke up I remembered the dream

And I went to look for Peace

And there was no angel and there was no peace

He was long gone and I was left with the dream

My God, I wanted you to know

A dream I dreamt last night in bed

And in the dream I saw a sailor

From the depths of the sea he rose and told me thus:

I came from the water, from the depths of the sea

To deliver a Blessing of Peace to the children of the world,

And when I woke up I remembered the dream

And I went to look for Peace

And there was no angel and there was no peace

He took the blessing, and I still have that dream.
