1
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:04,909
I know that I have only exactly two minutes on the stage,

2
00:00:05,155 --> 00:00:12,535
but I request an extra minute of silence from the audience and from the panel to remember the souls of those who died for the sake of freedom in Egypt.

3
00:00:29,305 --> 00:00:32,040
Thank you.

4
00:00:35,948 --> 00:00:43,240
An Honest View of Liberation Square

5
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:58,720
Put away all of your old poems,

6
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:04,040
tear apart all of your old notebooks,

7
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:11,880
and write for Egypt today the poetry that she deserves.

8
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:17,183
Put away all of your old notebooks,

9
00:01:17,183 --> 00:01:21,960
and write for Egypt today the poetry that she deserves.

10
00:01:21,960 --> 00:01:25,280
No longer will silence impose its fear,

11
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:31,040
so write that Egypt and her people are the peace of the Nile.

12
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:37,600
You are the most beautiful one, o Egypt, who has decided

13
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:43,240
that this fear has passed and has ended.

14
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:49,080
The streets were toying with us,

15
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:54,160
the streets were toying with us with their coldness and their frost,

16
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,400
and we could not give an explanation at the time.

17
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,120
We warmed each other,

18
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:05,640
and as we saw you smile, we forgot the cold.

19
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,200
And when you grew angry,

20
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,240
you showed it.

21
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,320
And when you grew angry,

22
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,560
you showed your face.

23
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:24,640
And our conscience would not allow us to defile you.

24
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:28,480
Do not let them tell you that I

25
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,240
am a rebel, that I have betrayed the trust of my country or forgotten it.

26
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,760
Do not let them tell you that I

27
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:40,040
have become trivial or that I am manipulated.

28
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:41,840
For I am the child of your womb,

29
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,640
and the children of your womb are those who wanted to

30
00:02:43,640 --> 00:02:56,800
and who deposed and who acknowledged and who forbid.

31
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:03,800
The defeated remained silent, fearfully, in cowardice,

32
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:11,040
and those who love you have said what they had to say.
