Torabyeh - Ghorbah ft. Husam Abed (Official Music Video)

  • 0:49 - 0:52
    MC Rasasah (Verse 1): My status is deformed because of my art
  • 0:52 - 0:54
    My poetry for my people is meaningless
  • 0:54 - 0:57
    My departure from earth is only a matter of time
  • 0:57 - 0:59
    The good I do on earth is not to gain blessings from the heavens
  • 0:59 - 1:02
    I just want a place where I can secure my son’s rights
  • 1:02 - 1:04
    I am not a killer but I can commit a crime to protect my rights
  • 1:04 - 1:07
    For my country my pen is writing for me
  • 1:07 - 1:09
    I don’t want an Israeli soldier to stop me from being buried in my country
  • 1:09 - 1:12
    I want to be buried in the same graveyard my grandfather is in
  • 1:12 - 1:15
    Ever since I was young I dreamt of being a soldier
  • 1:15 - 1:17
    With time I discovered whom I belong to
  • 1:17 - 1:20
    Mahmoud Abbas, Fatah, Hamas or Jabha
  • 1:20 - 1:22
    Let me be free because they are all mercenaries
  • 1:22 - 1:25
    I can no longer deal with these people living a lie
  • 1:25 - 1:27
    The picture is nice but the background is destroyed
  • 1:27 - 1:29
    Now we need a visa to enter our own country?
  • 1:29 - 1:32
    It seems the people are distracted with the revolutions
  • 1:32 - 1:35
    They forgot Iraq and they forgot Shatila & Sabra
  • 1:35 - 1:37
    I refuse to be some regular human being
  • 1:37 - 1:40
    And what’s available in Amman in its best cases is bare
  • 1:40 - 1:42
    So why don’t I belong to a free revolution
  • 1:42 - 1:45
    Where the employer and employee are the same status
  • 1:45 - 1:47
    Rasasah; stay calm!
  • 1:47 - 1:50
    How can I when all the Israelis are reserve soldiers
  • 2:20 - 2:25
    Hussam (CHORUS): Could it be that we have reached to this point?
  • 2:25 - 2:30
    Our country needs her men, she has become a widower
  • 2:30 - 2:35
    It’s time to stand up
  • 2:35 - 2:40
    Ziad Rahbani tell them who’s the non-believer!
  • 2:40 - 2:43
    Kazz (Verse 1): I am packing my things getting ready to leave
  • 2:43 - 2:45
    From Amman to a place with no moonlight
  • 2:45 - 2:47
    All desert…all alcohol…with only a few trees
  • 2:47 - 2:50
    So I can feed myself from you mother nature
  • 2:50 - 2:52
    With your fast growth …you are never satisfied
  • 2:52 - 2:55
    Because they are always cutting you down…I will protect you
  • 2:55 - 2:57
    From all of those non-believers
  • 2:57 - 3:00
    My grandfather had an orchard and he always protected you
  • 3:00 - 3:03
    But when the sons of bitches occupied the land they stole you
  • 3:03 - 3:05
    And my grandfather lived and died dreaming of you
  • 3:05 - 3:08
    Now I come to you to share my pain
  • 3:08 - 3:10
    Because I felt that me and you are the same
  • 3:10 - 3:13
    The projects in Amman are throwing us around
  • 3:13 - 3:15
    Mother nature hold me and return me back inside you
  • 3:15 - 3:18
    Because all this construction above you is adding to my pain
  • 3:18 - 3:20
    I wish I was a gypsy going from tent to tent
  • 3:20 - 3:23
    Because my place in this society has no worth
  • 3:23 - 3:25
    I don’t feel well, I feel like shit
  • 3:25 - 3:28
    We’ve been fucked a thousand times and we’re still going backwards
  • 3:28 - 3:30
    After what has happened and what will happen
  • 3:30 - 3:33
    The fate is the same; murdered or captured
  • 3:33 - 3:35
    I am like all of those who life threw to the gutter
  • 3:35 - 3:38
    Deprived from happiness and sentenced to fade away
  • 3:38 - 3:41
    The only difference is that I am supported by rhythm
  • 3:43 - 3:48
    Hussam (CHORUS): Could it be that we have reached to this point?
  • 3:48 - 3:53
    Our country needs her men, she has become a widower
  • 3:53 - 3:58
    It’s time to stand up
  • 3:58 - 4:04
    "Ziad Rahbani tell them who’s the non-believer"

Translation :

Rasasah (Verse 1)

"My status is deformed because of my art
My poetry for my people is meaningless
My departure from earth is only a matter of time
The good I do on earth is not to gain blessings from the heavens
I just want a place where I can secure my son's rights
I am not a killer but I can commit a crime to protect my rights
For my country my pen is writing for me
I don't want an Israeli soldier to stop me from being buried in my country
I want to be buried in the same graveyard my grandfather is in
Ever since I was young I dreamt of being a soldier
With time I discovered whom I belong to
Mahmoud Abbas, Fatah, Hamas or Jabha
Let me be free because they are all mercenaries
I can no longer deal with these people living a lie
The picture is nice but the background is destroyed
Now we need a visa to enter our own country?
It seems the people are distracted with the revolutions
They forgot Iraq and they forgot Shatila & Sabra
I refuse to be some regular human being
And what's available in Amman in its best cases is bare
So why don't I belong to a free revolution
Where the employer and employee are the same status
Rasasah; stay calm!
How can I when all the Israelis are reserve soldiers "
