Kol isha
Kol isha
Kol isha [2X]

Kol isha
A woman’s voice
Is naked, forbidden
Don’t raise that sweet sound
In front of men

Silence, silence, girls
Sit quietly
Don’t sing out loud
It might arouse attention

Kol isha
Kol isha
Kol isha [2x]

When I was twelve
I sat behind
The great divide
On the women’s side
I could only listen

How I wanted to be the one
Who sang for the many
The favorite son
But daughters were raised on modesty
I wanted to be free

Kol isha
Kol isha
Kol isha [2x]

Bridge:
The bible says Deborah sang in victory
And Miriam chanted her song at the sea

A woman’s voice
Is the boundless force of life unhidden
We cry, we laugh
We shout, we sing, let us sing
