A New Boy Came Into The Neighbourhood

My voice went silent, my heart is excited,
a new boy came into the neighbourhood
my soul is humming for the meeting,
a new boy came into the neighbourhood
(x2)

He goes out to the street, walking back and forth
his step is light like a flute's melody
in the road's bend a man and a woman gathered
to view his eyes, the radiance of his face.

My voice went silent...

With dawn I'll go out, I'll braid my hair nicely
I'll wait by the slope
maybe he went down from here
tell me brother will he give his heart to me,
will I sit in his shaddow
tell me yes or no.

My voice went silent...

In the square, at the cafe lots of girls gathered
a whisper and a smile like this from lobe to lobe
At the meatshop it was unanimously decided
that his voice is sweet and everyone loves him.
