Evin Agassi - Shvaveh

Oh neighbours, neighbours, oh neighbours, our neighbour is upset
She is upset, go and reconcile with her, she is buried in sorrow
Oh neighbours, neighbours, this neighbour of ours, estranged from her neighbours
Not just one, but a thousand and one hearts, she took with her and walked away

Her window for so many days has remained closed
Her footsteps linger, do not sweep the courtyard
Behind the curtains, neighbours can no longer peer through
No longer do you visit her, as guests

Her heart was fragile like glass and it shattered, broken by words and gossip
You turned our longing into a spectacle, like the loud pipes upon the roof
The sky above our courtyard is filled with stars, yet left without its moon
Our courtyard turned cold like winter from the day she went away

--

Oh neighbours, neighbours, our neighbour is upset, go and reconcile with her
Let her ears hear the cries, cries, cries, cries, my cries, oh neighbours
Let her ears hear, my neighbours, that I want her, want her, want her
Let her ears hear, my neighbours, that I want her, want her

Oh neighbours, neighbours, oh neighbours, our neighbour is upset
She is upset, go and reconcile with her, she is buried in sorrow
Oh neighbours, neighbours, this neighbour of ours, estranged from her neighbours
Not just one, but a thousand and one hearts, she took with her and walked away
