Our nights
on the rooftops
I say Allah o Akbar
I have a dream in my head
and the galaxy will accompany us
for the newborn
it's time to sacrifice
may he become free of the ancient injustice
The dark night shall pass
the sadness will leave home
We shall laugh again
We shall laugh again
and shall be together again
we shall laugh again
we shall laugh again
we are all one
Beautiful girl
justice called you
freed you out of this limbo
remain eternal in the century's pure hearts [not sure if I hear this line right]
Beautiful girl
from the spark of your eyes,
your innocent looks,
the path of justice seekers remains lit.
Baba aab dad [Daddy gave water (this is the first reading we learn when we go to school)]
Baba naan dad [Daddy gave bread]
That man came on a horse
to the oil well
and I go towards the destiny
That man has weapons
he is against the people
I am searching the destiny
Courage on the path
its time of sacrifice
Kiss me
kiss me
for the last time
god be with you
