Waiting - Oi Va Voi

Oi Va Voi is a British band that takes its name from a Yiddish-derived exclamation popular in modern Hebrew meaning, approximately, "Oh, dear!" It is an experimental band from London, England, which formed in the late 1990's. Their sound draws on Jewish music from both the Ashkenazic and Sephardic traditions, including both klezmer and Judaeo-Spanish music, as well as Eastern European, especially Hungarian folk music, as well as contemporary electronic music.

Current band members are: Nik Ammar (guitars, mandolin, vocals, production), Josh Breslaw (drums, percussion, production), Leo Bryant (bass), Steve Levi (clarinet, vocals) and David Orchant (trumpet). Their guests are: Anna Phoebe (violin), Lucy Shaw (bass), Bridgette Amofah (vocals) and Alice McLaughlin (vocals).

Travelling the Face of the Globe (2009) is the fourth studio album released by this experimental band Oi Va Voi. The first track of the album is "Waiting".

"Waiting -- Ou Va Voi"

Whenever I remember you and I
So many years since you were by my side
And still my thoughts you occupy
And still your face is frozen in my mind

It's hard to win, easy to lose
We play a game we cannot choose
As steady as a rocking horse, as subtle as a bruise

I could've been the one still with you but something in the way
Brought our private universe into the cold light of day
Just when I have forgotten you that's when the longing starts
Nostalgia seeps into my head and I realize that I've been

Waiting for all these years
Waiting for all these years

Whenever I'm alone in troubled times
My silent screams, my innocence, my crimes
I wish that you were still here by my side
Without you here the darkness magnifies

It's hard to win, easy to lose
It's a lovely game we cannot choose
As steady as a rocking horse, as subtle as a bruise

Waiting for all these years
Waiting for all these years

I could've been the one to love you but something interfered
Took away the innocence and our world just disappeared
Just when I think I'm over you something unlocks the past
Memories pour into my brain and then the longing starts

Waiting for all these years
Waiting for all these years
We've just been
Waiting for all these years
Waiting for all these years
