"hadi ardi hona biladi"
My mother Earth
everything that was mine is not mine
even my country is my danger
that turned to be a punching bag
for international exits
that will determine to be or not to be.

The head is not raised, taking punches
with eyes closed.
Screaming: live and let live
this is not my nation,
wanna-bes and illusions
can't be in the mud
but we are here and we'll never walk away from here,
the Zionism is in the Jewish blood,
that respects Islams
and also Christianity and Buddhism
and everyone else too my throat is satisfied,
I'm not thirsty for blood,
understand blood spills blood,
and one spills blood
and then comes his uncle
and his blood is also spilled waste of time,
doesn't get up, doesn't wake up,
father doesn't put the kids to sleep anymore.

Who am I, what did I know
my roots, where did I come from?
I'm here and I came from here.
"hadi ardi hona biladi"
(this is my land and my country)

Mom!
Look at this day,
I left the weapon,
I picked up the mic,
I dream of peace,
to get goodbyes,
f* miracles and wonders,
everything's illusions.
Living in a storm, in the centre of danger,
sorrows so great in a country so small,
I wanna live,
die straight, crooked, free,
captured, starting, done standing, falling soldier,
terrorist, giving, taking God, Hell
You're an exhausted son,
how everything turned opposite,
stick with danger, like with your relatives,
again rising and falling, from the fear to the trash,
69 and then we switch,
he is turned and he turns/makes turn
as again the sidewalk is bloodied up
human heart stopped, blood flows to the sea,
world's sh*, reality with constipation living in a movie,
give it all just to live, live in order to die

Who am i, what did i know
my roots, where did i come from?
I'm here and I came from here.
"hadi ardi hona biladi"
(this is my land and my country)
