about

الى كل روح ... هناك ...
... For each soul ... There

lyrics

انا من هناك، ولي ذكريات
ولدت كما تولد الناس
لي والدة
وبيت كثير النوافذ
لي اخوة، اصدقاء، وسجن بنافذة بارده
لي موجة خطفتها النوارس
لي مشهد الخاص لي عشبة زائدة

ولي قمر في اقاصي الكلام
ورزق الطيور
وزيتونة خالدة

انا من هناك
اعيد السماء الى امها حين تبكي السماء على امها
وابكي لتعرفني غيمة عائدة

الهي اعدني الى وطني عندليب
على جنح غيمة
على ضوء نجمة
اعدني فلة
ترف على صدري نبع وتلة
الهي اعدني الى وطني عندليب

I am from there, and I have memories
Like others, I was born
I have a mother
a house with several windows
friends and brothers
I have a prison cell’s cold window
a wave snatched by seagulls, my own view
an extra blade of grass
a moon at word’s end
a supply of birds
and an olive tree that cannot die

I am from there
and I return the sky
to its mother when it cries for her
and cry
for a cloud on its return

O God, return me to my homeland like a nightingale
on the wings of a cloud
in the light of a star
return me where a spring gushes on my chest and a hill lies
to a haven adorned with jasmine
O God, return me to my homeland like a nightingale
...
