lyrics

الربطة

من وين طلعتي ووقفتيلي الكون
من دون اذني عقلي قرر يصوم

وتضرب الشمس بنص الليل عالكرسي الحاوينا
ويسحبوا الاولاد الرمل الاخضر من تحت اجرينا

ونأكل الفلافل وينشعل بالقلب حروب

ويكتب الطير موسيقته مشان ما نقول نسينا
ونروح عالكوخ الاخضر الشاعلة نارو فينا
و لك و ننسا....انو البلد محروق

عم خون فني وانا بكتب باللون
من دون وعيي رجع انعاد الكون

عم تركض الغيوم لتفضي السما من السواد اللي فينا
مثل اللوحة السودا بتطرشها ألوان لتعيدها

وتنسي الربطة لتمنعني من الهروب

ويخلص الضحك مسرحيته قبل ما نفهم معانيها
ويمرق الوقت لننام ونحن مغمى علينا
و لك و ننسا....انو الوطن مخنوق





Al Rabta: (The Hair-tie)

From where did you appear and stopped the universe?
Without my permission my mind decided to fast

And the sun hits the chair that cradles us in the middle of the night
While the children pull the green sand from beneath our feet

Then we eat the Falafel while wars ignite in our heart

And the bird writes his music so we can’t say we forgot
We go to the green house which burns its fire within us

And oh, how we forget... that the country is burned

.............

I’m betraying my art when I write with colours
Without my notice the world restarted

The clouds are running to clear up the sky from the darkness within us
Like a black painting you splash it with colours so you can repaint it

And you forget the tie to stop me from running away

While the laughter ends its theatrical play before we understand its meaning
And the time fly by until we sleep, fainting

And oh, how we forget... that home is throttled
