Shadia Mansour - Kollon 3endon Dababaat كلن عندن دبابات (They all have military tanks) [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[English Translation]

(Shadia Mansour)

They all have tanks and we have stones
They demolish our homes and kill our children
Oh Palestine the free, oh Gaza the brave
Zionism shall be defeated

Go back to your own country
If you’re smart I will cut your tail off
And I’m not just saying yes
You think that with your weapon you scare me?
At least do something before you start talking, acting as a gangster
Standing behind me
I will demolish you like a sip of water
Suck your brains out and pour them in a cup
Drink them like tea, believe me
Like as when we used to throw stones
I'll throw my words and my words are lethal
I’m brave and I dont fear gunfire
Remebering Che Guevara's wish I'm sweet and innocent
But if you make me hungry I become wild, wild, wild
Who do you think you are, behind the tank like a rooster?

They all have tanks and we have stones
They demolish our homes and kill our children
Oh Palestine the free, oh Gaza the brave
Zionism shall be defeated

Oh Gaza of blood, Oh Gaza of worry
We share your sorrow and shall fulfill your struggle
Palestine, oh land of lions, we shall return
Oh freedom fighters, with your faith
You will defeat the Zionist, racist, cowardly mission
Oh righteous martyrs of Gaza
For too long, you have stood in the line of fire
Your souls, shall be our beacons
Your victories, written all over the walls
Long live, long live, long live, Palestine
And to the Arab leaders, who are still sleeping
Where are you?
Where are your voices that should be filled with outrage and fury at this situation?

They all have tanks and we have stones
They demolish our homes and kill our children
Oh Palestine the free, oh Gaza the brave
Zionism shall be defeated
