lyrics
(english below)
هالأرض لمين؟
اسأل حالك
عن فكرة الحدود
كسور سجنك
مين حط الحروف؟
ارفع راسك
مانك لاجئ بحور
روح وين بدك
الأرض مالها حدود
هالأرض لمين؟
هروب من الموت
سياسة تهجير
مع ورقة بسبور
بتوقعك بالبير
معقول كل هالحدود
كل هاد تقسيم
مشان يشعلو حروب
و نعيش ميتين
هالأرض لمين؟
صار٣ سنين
و لساتني ما عم افهم لمين؟
الحدود كترانين
و بكل محل صار يمين
Ask yourself
about the concept of borders
Break your prison
Who wrote those orders?
Raise your head
You're not a refugee of the oceans
Roam wherever you want to
Because this earth has no borders
Who owns this earth?
Escaping from death
Migration politics
And this paper called “passport”
Will imprison you
Are they real, all these borders?
All these divisions
To stoke the fires of war
And make us live like we’re (already) dead
Who owns this earth?
It’s been 3 years now
and I still don’t know to whom it belongs
more borders have been fortified
while the right continues to multiply
You can impose passports
You can build borders
You can send soldiers
You won’t deter me
You can make the fence higher
You can hide faces
You can brainwash the masses
You won’t stop me
This earth is mine
This earth is yours
This earth is hers
This earth is ours

Somewhat lopsided 'best of' with almost all of Enta Fen here, but true to the description this is a good 'best of' collection. However, if you love these songs, you will likely love all 3 Soap Kills albums, and also likely Yasmine Hamdan's solo work. BeagleBay
