SONG OF AVRAHAM
Radio Ramallah
Now, between Yad Chana and the neighbouring TulKarem
A Muazin is fighting from the top of the Mosque
Layla is alone, behind heavy glass
I try to tune in but can't hear
Layla is in the radio, may be she calls me
I still remember a burning field and the beat from above
I feel the heat in my eyes,
suddenly I wake up without a friend
A white room closes on me, it is dark tonight
Layla tonight Layla tonight
Layla tonight Layla tonight
Chorus:
Radio Ramalla Layla and night
It is her whispering voice,
chatterbox, wins me over, 1965
I feel blurred
Radio Ramalla Layla and night
One day we will meet, will remember and get excited
How it was in 65, Layla Layla
And so, I miss opportunities
I imagine what was
and what could have been
Memories blend with longings
And they burn, like salt on the wounds
I hear a machine
between a mine field and cotton field
Slices the connection between us
Layla is not answering but I still hope
God is great, he is probably on our side
Layla is on radio,
may be he will answer my prayers
I try to look for her but can't tune the radio
Layla keeps quite, a portable radio is playing
I wish I could ring Layla tonight
Layla tonight Layla tonight.....
Layla tonight Layla tonight.....
Chorus:
Radio Ramalla Layla and night
