We are listening to you [we are attentive to you]

The Hebrew is incorrect. Should be keshuvim rather than koshvim

Peer comment(s):

agree	Keren Terret : It is, as you have said, a typo and should be קשובים. Attentive is the more correct translation. 51 mins
	Thank you Keren
agree	Ron Armon : I also agree about the typo here, but just BTW - in poetic Hebrew קושב can and is used. See Alterman's poem 'הבכי' from 'שמחת עניים' (verse 4): "ואת ידעת כי ליל וגם לא נע עלה \ ורק נפשי קושבת וחולה \ ורק עלי בכיך כמו דורס עולה, \ ורק אותי בחר לו לאוכלה. 2 days 1 hr
	Thank you Ron, you are right, of course, but we have no indication that the quote is a literary one
