Hadad was born in Hadera, Israel. Her real name is Sara Hodedatov (שרה חודדטוב). She comes from a musical family.

Since she was 8 years old she started giving performances at a local club as a child prodigy playing classical music on the piano. She didn't tell her parents, and when they found out two years later the performances were over. In that period she taught herself to play the organ, guitar, accordion and darbuka among others.

When she was 15 she joined the Hadera Youth Band. This was the first step to her solo career, during which many of her songs topped the Israeli charts. Israeli Television selected her to represent her country in the Eurovision Song Contest 2002 with the song Light a candle. There were some requests to disqualify this song because of the political situation in Israel, but Eurovision has no rules requiring such disqualification. Her final result was 12th place.

חוק החיים
Sarit Hadad Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

כמו ציפור נודדת
מחפשת מולדת
על ענף עץ בטוח
התישבתי לנוח
שום דבר לא מוכר שם למטה
מרגישה אבודה בגבהים
נשימה ארוכה לקחתי
ויצאתי מבין העלים

זהו חוק החיים
סקרנות ריגושים
זהו חוק החיים

צעד צעד לומדת
על בטוח ללכת
מתחזקת שורדת
ופתאום מאוהבת
מעלי מחיכים השמיים
והאושר מציף את כולי
נשימה ארוכה לקחתי
ונתתי לך את כולי

זהו חוק החיים
סקרנות ריגושים
זהו חוק החיים

זהו חוק החיים
סקרנות ריגושים
זהו חוק החיים

זהו חוק החיים

כמו ציפור נודדת מחפשת מולדת
Like a wandering bird searching for its nest

על ענף עץ בטוח התישבתי לנוח
I settled on a safe tree branch to rest

שום דבר לא מוכר שם למטה
Nothing is familiar down below

מרגישה אבודה בגבהים
Feeling lost up high

נשימה ארוכה לקחתי ויצאתי מבין העלים
I took a long breath and left among the leaves

צעד צעד לומדת על בטוח ללכת
Step by step, I learn to walk safely

מתחזקת שורדת ופתאום מאוהבת
I grow stronger and survive, and suddenly fall in love

מעלי מחיכים השמיים והאושר מציף את כולי
Above me, the skies are waiting and happiness fills me

ונתתי לך את כולי
And I give you all of me

זהו חוק החיים סקרנות ריגושים
This is the law of life, curiosity and excitement
