Diaspora

Albi el majrouh binadi

Ala baladi el baied el ghali

Min ghirek wa hayati azab

Wa el alem yazdan

Wa hayati azab

Wa fi azaba

Wa hayati azab

Min ghirek wa hayati azab

Mesopotamia weeps

Buried in Babylon

The remnants of this world have not gone

Lost instruments heard through forgotten walls

Pavement music broadcast in this desert night

Min ghirek wa hayati azab

Wa el alem yazdan

Wa hayati azab

Wa fi azaba

Wa hayati azab

Wa fi azab

Wa hayati azab

The flesh and blood material

The magic in these ancient streets

The Kabbalah revealed

Aramaic whispers in Jaffa and Tel Aviv

Spirits of the desert skies and plains

For what shall we mourn and grieve?

Mesopotamia and Ur of the Chaldees

Descendants of the Sephardim

Trading tolerance and unity

From Baghdad to the Promised Land

Children of Canaan

Daughter of the Maghreb

Albi el majrouh binadi

Ala baladi el baied el ghali

Albi el majrouh binadi

Ala baladi el baied el ghali

Min ghirek wa hayati azab

Wa el alem yazdan

Wa hayati azab

Wa fi azaba

Wa hayati azab

Wa fi azab

Child of Canaan

Daughter of the Maghreb

Salaam the passing spirits of the living and the dead

Night lights on the river

A million stars we try to count

Travelling paths not always in the light

For what shall we mourn and grieve?

The diaspora

Salaam the passing spirits

Child of Canaan

Daughter of the Maghreb

For what shall we mourn and grieve?

The diaspora
