Some photos taken in Ramallah, August 2007. Most taken by my friend, Sa'ed...he's got a much better eye than me!
I found this translation, but my arabic is not good, so I don't know how well they did: http://www.allthelyrics.com/forum/arabic-lyrics-translation/45861-salwa-ourdo...
النص الأصلي ل وين ع رام الله غناء سلوى العاص (سلوى الاردنية)و
Wein 3 Ramallah - Salwa Al-3as (El Ordoounyieh)
وين ع رام الله
Where are you going? To Ramallah
وين ع رام الله
Where to? To Ramallah
ولفي يا مسافر وين ع رام الله
My travelling love... where to? To Ramallah
ما تخاف من الله
Aren't you afraid of Allah
خذيت قليبي ما تخاف من الله
You took my heart, aren't you afraid of Allah
هي يا حبيبي هي يا حبيبي
Oh my love, oh my love
غيرك ما بهوى... هي يا حبيبي
No one other than you.. oh my loe
حظي ونصيبي... حظي ونصيبي
My fortune and my fate
ردتك من الله ردتك من الله
I loved you for god sake
ليش تجافيني
Why do you abandon (leave) me
ليش تجافيني
Why do you abandon (leave) me
ويش هاللي عملتو ليش تجافيني
What's my sin that made you leave me
بُعدك كاويني
Your being away, burns me
وبنار الفرقة بُعدك كاويني
With fire of separation, you burn me
حبك ما بسلى
I don't forget your love
مهما يلوموني
No matter they blame me
حبك ما بسلى
I don't forget your love
وانت اللي أغلى من شوف عيوني
And you're more precious than my sight
يحكولك عني
They tell you lies about me
وايش شفتو مني
What wrong did you see me do??
ليش تطاوعهم وايش شفتو مني
Why do you agree with them... what wrong did you see me doing
يا ما اقسى قلبك
Oh, how cruel your heart
ما بتسأل عني
You don't ask about me
ع اللي يحبك، ع اللي يحبك
About the one who loves you
ماتحن وتشفق ع اللي يحبك
When will you feel pity and compassion for me
عاود يا روحي
Come back my soul
طولت الغيبة... عاود يا روحي
You 're away for long time.. come back my soul
داوي الجروحي... بإيدك يا ولفي داوي الجروحي
Heal my wounds.. with your hand my love .. heal the wounds
ساظل فوق الصخر.. تحت الصخر صامد
I will remain over the rocks... under the ruins Resisting
ضاقت، فلمـّا استحكمت حلقاتها.. فرجت، وكنت أظنها لا تفرج...
its been sung for a thousand years

Pretty cool!
I have been to Ramallah twice and visited the Yasser Arafat crave in the Palestinian Authority headquarters.
Is he still buried on there?
Ramallah is beautiful, Qalandya is beautiful, Bethlehem is beautiful. I loved everything! I loved Beit Jala, Jericho and all parts of Gaza!
Palestine is magical.
