about

Women In Chambers depicts the sad fate of Druze women who, when widowed and in keeping with tradition, are forced to leave their children with the deceased husband’s family should they choose to remarry. Hence, many of them remain single

lyrics

נשים יושבות בחדרים ומיישנות את עוללן
וכל ריחות ההדרים לא יבשמו את משעולן

נשים יושבות בחדרים ומתעטפות באפלה
ואור היום בצהרים צורב סביב להן הילה

ושוב ושוב יבכיר דגן, הצאן, החלילית, הנער
אבל בירכתי הגן לא יעבור האיש בשער

נשים יושבות בחדרים ובלבן יבשה תפילה
ואין זמירות ואין שירים ואין סליחה ומחילה

Women sit in their chambers
And put their babies to sleep
And all the scents of Citrus trees
Will not perfume their paths

Women sit in their chambers
And wrap themselves in darkness
And the daylight through the hatches
Burns a halo around them

And time and again the wheat will ripen
The cattle, the flute, the (shepherd) boy
But at the edge of the garden
No man will pass through the gate

Women sit in their chambers
And in their hearts the prayer has dried
And there is no singing and no songs
No forgiveness and no absolution
