Ishtar (born Esther (Eti) Zach, on 10 November 1968) is an Israeli pop singer who performs in Arabic, Hebrew, Bulgarian, French, Spanish, Russian and English. She is best known for her work as the front vocalist of the French-based band Alabina, and her solo pop hits such as C'est La Vie, Last Kiss, and Habibi (Sawah).
Eti Zach was born on 10 November 1968 in Kiryat Atta, near Haifa and was raised in Israel. She was born to an Egyptian-Jewish mother and a Moroccan-Jewish father, both of Sephardi-Mizrahi heritage, who had immigrated to Israel earlier.
She sings in Arabic, Hebrew, French, Spanish, Bulgarian, Russian, and English. In addition, she says she "half-speaks Moroccan Arabic".
Ishtar began performing in clubs at age 14 and continued even while enrolled in the IDF. Though she was born Eti Zach, she chose the name 'Ishtar', a Mesopotamian Goddess, because her grandmother called her Ester, which "with her Egyptian accent it sounded like Ishtar", she said.
I been out on this battlefield a while now
Fighting to love you
Hopin I would conquer somehow
Baby as old as it can get
I'm goin ride until the end
It ain't nothin, just call me i'll come runnin
Don't tell me that you ain never let ya feelins show
Or you been hurt before so maybe I should just go
Them other girls they just ain't me
I can be your everything
It aint nothin, but you just gotta let me
You should let me, let me
Let me love you like you should be
I'll be the moon and the stars if that's what's in your heart
For you love i'd go far
And if your heart would
Just let me, let me in
I would fill it up with what's been missing
That's all my time and attention not to mention
We'd own the greatest love story if you let me
Make a wish, make a wish, make a wish
Upon me i'm your star
I'm your genie in a bottle
Rub me up from the bottom
I will make your dreams come true
Not an ocean or a mountain gonna stand in the way
I would do anything and do whatever it takes
To see that you were made for me
I was mean't to be your queen
It ain't nothin, let's turn it into something
Cause I wanna fall in love
I wanna be the one that you call on
Whenever you're in need
But you just gotta trust me
You should let me, let me
Let me love you like you should be
I'll be the moon and the stars if that's what's in your heart
For you love i'd go far
And if your heart would
Just let me, let me in
I would fill it up with what's been missing
That's all my time and attention not to mention
