Israel: Who are you without us?

Israel: Who are you without us?

Her face feels like anger and grief fighting their way out of her chest through her words. Incredible performance and art. You make us all feel.

“Dounana” (“without us”)

Siba & Monkyman

The lyrics say it all.

Uproot our roots

أستأصل جذورنا

They demolished our homes and criminalized our existence

واهدموا بيوتنا وجرموا وجودنا

They falsified our origins

وزيفوا أصولنا

They separated our loved ones and slaughtered our children

فرقوا أحبابنا وذبحوا أطفالنا

They made our blood cheap and demonized our revolutionaries

واسترخصوا دماءنا وشيطنوا ثوارنا

Who who who who who who

فمن فمن فمن فمن فمن

Who who who who who

فمن فمن فمن فمن

Who who who who who

فمن فمن فمن فمن

It is

فمن

It is

فمن

Uproot our roots

استأصل جذورنا

And demolish our homes

واهدموا بيوتنا

They criminalized our existence

وجرموا وجودنا

They falsified our origins

وزيفوا أصولنا

They separated our loved ones

فرقوا أحبابنا

They slaughtered our children

وذبحوا أطفالنا

And they made our blood cheap

واسترخصوا دماءنا

They demonized our revolutionaries

وشيطنوا ثوارنا

They steal our knowledge

يسرقوا علومنا

They’re ignorant of our people

وجهلوا شعوبنا

And they tortured our souls

وعذبوا نفوسنا

They denounced our rights

واستنكر حقوقنا

They colonized our country

استعمروا بلادنا

They appointed our rulers

وعينوا حكامنا

And they plundered our goods

وانهبوا خيراتنا

And they burned our shrouds

واحرقوا أجادنا

Who are you without us?

فمن تكون دوننا

Who are you without us?

فمن تكون دوننا

Who are you without us?

فمن تكون دوننا

Who are you without us?

فمن تكون دوننا

They blew up our homes

فجروا ديارنا

They denied our statements and witnessed our pain

وكذبوا أقوالنا وشاهدوا أوجاعنا

And they made our torment small

وصغروا عذابنا

They ignored our tears

تجاهلوا دموعنا

They closed our eyes and distorted our faces

أغمضوا عيوننا وشوهوا وجوهنا

They denied our feelings

وانكروا شعورنا

They destroyed our dreams

دمروا أحلامنا

They classified our bodies

وصنفوا أجسامنا

And our skies darkened

وأظلم سماءنا

Killed our peace

اقتل سلامنا

We will remain where we are

سنبقى في مقامنا

Our love remains in us

ويبقى فينا حبنا

Who are you without us?

فمن تكون دوننا

You will not be without us

ولن تكون دوننا

You will not be without us

ولن تكون دوننا

Uproot our roots

استأصل جذورنا

And demolish our homes

واهدموا بيوتنا

They criminalized our existence

وجرموا وجودنا

They falsified our origins

وزيفوا أصولنا

They separated our loved ones and slaughtered our children

فرقوا أحبابنا وذبحوا أطفالنا

They made our blood cheap and demonized our revolutionaries

واسترخصوا دماءنا وشيطنوا ثوارنا

They steal our knowledge

يسرقوا علومنا

They’re ignorant of our people

وجهلوا شعوبنا

And they tortured our souls

وعذبوا نفوسنا

He denounced our rights

واستنكر حقوقنا

They colonized our country

And they plundered our goods

وانهبوا خيراتنا

And they burned our shrouds

واحرقوا أجادنا

They blew up our homes

فجروا ديارنا

And they denied our statements

وكذبوا أقوالنا

And they saw our pain

وشاهدوا أوجاعنا

And they made our torment small

وصغروا عذابنا

They ignored our tears

تجاهلوا دموعنا

Close our eyes

أغمضوا أعيننا

They distorted our faces

وشوهوا وجوهنا

They denied our feelings

وانكروا شعورنا

They destroyed our dreams

دمروا أحلامنا

They classified our bodies

وصنفوا أجسامنا

And they darkened our skies

وأظلموا سماءنا

Kill our peace

اقتلوا سلامنا

We will remain where we are

سنبقى في مقامنا

Our love remains in us

ويبقى فينا حبنا

Who are you without us?

فمن تكون دوننا

You will not be without us

ولن تكون دوننا

You will not be without us

ولن تكون دوننا
