Eshterouni (Have Respect For Me)

--------------------------------



Give me respect, give me solace,

treat me kindly and comfort me.

you, who like to see me suffer

give me solace and believe inme.

I am here, now, amongst you but

you shall not see me here tomorrow.



Give me respect, comfort me through the night.

What is in my heart has been labelled.

Ask where my smile is hidden before you remind me,

before I forget, I am here, now, amongst you but

you shall not see me here tomorrow.



Give me respect respect, give me solace,

Value me, you who know not my story,

and listen to me.

By sweet words can my smiles be restored.

Believe me, my life of love caused me

to lose my way.



Give me respect; with love,

plant me a rose.

Honour me and change the style of your love

because I am afraid you'll

love me only for today;

give me a new life for today,

and kill me tomorrow.



For I am here, now amongst you but

you shall not see me here tomorrow.
