Ofra Haza - עפרה חזה, Iggy Pop - Daw Da Hiya lyrics

Back in ancient time loving was a crime
For a single girl like the beautiful
Daw Da Hiya sisters barred her way
But she couldn't wait
She spurned her father's hand
And took her man despite tradition

La'ad tizini wala'ad tirtihi
Wa daw da hiya asal ma'an dzha lihis
Daw da hiya achad galbeh urach
Achad galbeh urach walyom mitel chasa
Walyom ma'an dzha tiss

Daw da hiya daw da hiya
Daw da hiya her passion drove her wild
Daw da hiya daw da hiya
Daw da hiya her love was suicide

Love comes with a price
They came for her one night
For her family's shame she had to face
The judge's might now she was with child
No one was at her side
When the judge declared that she must die
Tradition

Lamat lamat lamat wala fashe shamat
Gumi tatari gumi utatari ya din daw da hiya
Wi darde hu bich ila ila wadi bana
Wilyom kulana nea'azi alechk daw da hiya
Daw da hiya daw da hiya
Her passion drove her wild daw da hiya
Daw da hiya daw da hiya
Her love was suicide

In a time and place
Where a woman can't show her face
Her life is ruled by men
That shouldn't happen again daw da hiya
Daw da hiya daw da hiya
Her passion drove her wild daw da hiya
Daw da hiya daw da hiya
Her love was suicide
