Marcel Khalife in Syria December 2008"And We love life" wa na7nou nou7ibou al hayat
Salute to Mahmoud Darwish & Palestine

Lyrics: Mahmoud Darwish
Composer: Marcel Khalife

محمود درويش

ونحن نحب الحياة إذا ما استطعنا إليها سبيلا
ونرقص بين شهيدين. نرفع مئذنة للبنفسج بينهما أو نخيلا
نحب الحياة إذا ما استطعنا إليها سبيلا
ونسرق من دود القز خيطاً لنبني سماءً لنا ونُسيج هذا الرحيلا
ونفتح باب الحديقة كي يخرج الياسمين إلى الطرقات نهاراً جميلا
نحب الحياة إذا ما استطعنا إليها سبيلا
ونزرع حيث أقمنا نباتاً سريع النمو، ونحصد حيث أقمنا قتيلا
وننفخ في الناي لون البعيد البعيد، ونرسم فوق تراب الممر صهيلا
ونكتب أسماءنا حجراً حجراً، أيها البرق أوضح لنا الليل، أوضح قليلا
نحب الحياة إذا ما استطعنا إليها سبيلا

English Translation:

"We love life whenever we can"

We love life whenever we can.
We dance and throw up a minaret or raise palm trees for the violets growing between two martyrs.
We love life whenever we can.
We steal a thread from a silk-worm to weave a sky and a fence for our journey.
We open the garden gate for the jasmine to walk into the street as a beautiful day.
We love life whenever we can.
Wherever we settle we grow fast-growing plants, wherever we settle we harvest a murdered man.
We blow into the flute the colour of far away, of far away, we draw on the dust in the passage the neighing of a horse.
And we write our names in the form of stones. Lightning brighten the night for us, brighten the night a little.
We love life whenever we can

  • @dictaphone1 Why go figure??? You people murdered the jews out of their ancient homes and now you are doing that to the Copts! I want to hear ONE, just ONE of you YT Muslims discuss the Jewish NAQBA and now the CHRISTIAN NAQBA. You will NEVER do it! You can only be a victim, never a perpetrator which is exactly what YOU ARE

  • @Musicofthissphere Ever heard about the story of the Lion & the Wind?

    Well, Palestine (Falasteen), for sure, is the Lion & you and your kind alike are the Wind!!

    Guess what you & your type will never affect, not even a hair on the Lion's butt.

    Based on your writing, you're probably & most likely a Christianist/Crusadist who has some ties to the Arab world..........go figure!

  • @palestine4eever I am not Jewish and I don't read Hebrew. Mashallah, there will never be a fakestine

  • @Musicofthissphere

    וגם אין מדינת ישראל .

  • @palestine4eever there is no paelstine and there are no palestinians. happy Eid

  • "Palestinians love life" LOL LOL. what total bullshit. they voted for Hamass, a grouo that is dedicated to murdering every Jew and Christian worldwide. fuck this hateful old master of taqiyya

  • hallo kid !!!!
