Austin Hoke - Jaffa Gate lyrics

Lost you at the Jaffa Gate We were sinking where the Hasids wait Lo maveen anglit, tzleecha? (I don't understand English, excuse me?) Todah (Thanks) But I can understand you - Bavakasha (You're welcome) Why won't you say we're drinking of love? You've got the words in your pocket but the pen won't write We got a one way ticket to Jeru Jeru Your dude's not the wailing wall but maybe is to you (Oh no) Lost you at the Jaffa Gate Cousin Adi don't believe in fate But with ‘Contra' blasting out in the car We met Ezra the next day now how strange this life He got a one way ticket to Jeru Jeru Fame is not the wailing wall but maybe is to you (Oh no) Lost you at the Jaffa Gate (Wouldn't wanna find you) Lost you at the Jaffa Gate (Wouldn't wanna find you now) (2x's) Karen says I got up too late Got up at five but cousin Karen is eight Mashlomcha achshav? (How are you now?) Tov meod, todah (Very well, thanks) But Fabi woke me up with a chatzotzrah (trumpet) Crumbling all the way to the shuk (market) I got lost on Dizengoff (?) now how strange I look I got a one way ticket to the Rabin square You were in my little locket and I left it there Oh no Lost you at the Jaffa Gate (Wouldn't wanna find you) Lost you at the Jaffa Gate (Wouldn't wanna find you now) (2x's) Your cavalry's tired but you march them in place Your desert groves bloom on account of the grace That you had once shown when in love, with a place A reticent June, was it all just a waste? Lost you at the Jaffa Gate We were sinking where the Hasids wait
