Listen, understand, take notes, you can call it a lecture
We're in a battle, which we were stabled in from a long time
And who is responsible for our situation?Its either conspiracy or unconsciousness
Let me introduce to ya'll myself, I'm from a town called Lyd
You can find here all kind of unlocked criminals
The only thing people here did wrong was living on their land
And now their home is being destroyed only cuz they r not united
I will stand and take position where I'll start looking over
And ill manage your minds and ill start explaining
That power is achieved through integration not segregation
And if we do the opposite then we will fall one after the other
And when we said hand in hand we should stand
We didn’t mean just a finger
Cuz in order to take, you must ask, and in order to achieve power
We should all be together
(chorus)
Our neighborhood is embarrassed
Not dressed in a silk dress
(DAM – if the fear will continue to live in our hearts)
A bride without a veil
Standing, waiting, longing for her beauty
(DAM – the expulsion is knocking on our doors)
The time has passed over her, forgotten her
(DAM – that is why)
The separation wall has muted her hope
Like a bird that will break out of the cage
She will spread out her wings and fly
(DAM – we will shout without fear)
Tamer Nafar:
Destroying homes is like whispers ,As long as we are still silent
We will keep hearing that whisper in my people's ears
But if we will scream and shout, then that whisper will not be heard
And it will drown in the sea of justice
And I can understand who cries a tear of sorrow
But what I don’t understand, is someone who doesn’t wipe his tears out
While he is drowning in the sea of his tears searching for his land
And he is wondering " why the hell they do this to us?"
Let me tell you why, it's because people like you who do nothing
To defend their land and just stay in "welcome" position to any destroying hand
A week ago there was a demonstration against destroying houses
With 100 people in it and 90 from them were Jews
You should understand that if you look at your neighbor today while he is being taking out of his home and you do nothing about it, Then tomorrow they will come to you and you neighbor will look at you with the same look you gave him
The chain of discrimination is long, and it has an end
But you won't reach this end if you fail to use your power, the power which is aware and helpless but still is afraid of knowing if it's able
(chorus)
C Part
Our eyes watch as our children seeking
A future that in it “the sky are the limit”
A slogan that has been covered with the ruins dust
But’ the light hasn’t been turned off yet
Suhell Nafar:
A destroyed house and in the garden 8 railway tracks
And in the day at least 200 trains pass
And behind the ruins, a separation wall
That should be between the house and the railroad tracks
But it is built between Snir and Nir Tzvi
And the municipality says that everything there is illegal
So, just one second, one second
What with all the legal neighborhoods that has
Health care centers – surrounded with sewerage
Kindergarten – surrounded with sewerage
For that there is no excuse it’s just that the city didn’t care for the Arabs
Because the government has a wish:
Maximum Jews – on maximum land
Minimum Arabs – on minimum land
This house didn’t get approved by the law
And you will not erase!
