Translation

All the men in the neighbourhood
look at me
they call me pretty and beautiful like sun in the sunset
and together they try to catch me
and they all want me
but I only want to meet
<B style="color:black;background-color:#ffff66">Rachamim</B>

The following translation Is from the CD "A Jewish
Odyssey", ser# PUT182-2, ISBN 1587590328, (c) 2000,
Putumayo World Music:

"All the men in the neighborhood/
Look at me/
They say "You're as pretty as a painting"/
Like the sunset/
And they all try to catch me/
And they all want me/
But I only ask for/
Rachamim/
They all whistle at me from the window/
I don't hear a thing/
My heart is like a telephone/
Which has a broken line/
It is busy for months/
No Connection, no lines/
Oh, Rachamim, when will you spread upon me/
Your compassion?/
Then we will go out to the street/
Hugging like a pair of doves."
