تشتكي عشرون عاما.. واليوم ثمان وستون عاما.. ما أعظم مأساة العرب بحكوماتهم..

She's upset for 20 years and today it's 68 years and the situation stands still..

Wow - as long as I've known of her and listened to the music over the years I had no idea that it was so political. So she was a real revolutionary a long time ago.

Nice translation to English by both Gonzalez1962 and Samacycline.

• Poem by Nizar Qabbani, Music composition by composer/Artist Mohammed Abdul Wahab, played by the Berlin Symphony Orchestra, delivered by Um Kalthoum.

[samacycline]

• I now came to have a rifle • To Palestine take me with you• To doleful heights as the face of Magdalene• To the green domes• And the prophetical stone.

• Twenty years and I am searching for land and identity• I look for my home that is there • For my wires encircled homeland• I look for my childhood

[samacycline]

• And for my neighborhood comrades • For my books • For my photos • For every warm nook • And for every vase • • To Palestine take me with you, with you, oh you men • I want to live or die like men • I now came to have a rifle • Tell whoever asks about my case • My rifle has become the case • I now came to have a rifle • I became in the list of revolutionists • I chase after thorns and dust • And wear a label

[samacycline]

• • I am with the revolutionists • I am from among the revolutionists• The day I carried my rifle • Palestine has come to within meters • Oh you revolutionists • In Jerusalem • In Al-khalil • In Bissan • Al-Aghwar • In Bethlehem • Wherever you are, Oh you freemen• Move forward ….Move forward• Move forward ….Move forward… Move forward• To Palestine… is one road • It passes through a rifle’s barrel

ALLAH bless palestine this make me sad sad sad sad sad sad sad sad sad oo lord the people ask for mercy for a better life

[YALMOUL]

My heart bled when I heard this song. My eyes wept as I closed my eyes and dreamt of the pomegranate flowers that blossomed sweetly in the blessed lands of Palestine
