Love comes with a price





Piosenka o starożytnych tradycjach, a jakże aktualna i dzis. Rodzina piosenkarki pochodzi z Jemenu. Znala więc Ofra doskonale tamtejszą spolecznosc. W tym roku mija 10 rocznica smierci tej wybitnej artystki.

Fragment tekstu:

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 -
.....

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...
