Arab Nationalism: Where Is It?
The land is Arab, the spirit is Arab, and Jerusalem is Arab.
But where is Arab nationalism?
The land is Arab, the spirit is Arab, and Jerusalem is Arab.
But where is Arab nationalism?
O Palestinian mother, exemplar sacrifice,
Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice...
With great sorrow and regret, I write to you,
O every Arab, o every dignified one,
About an Arab cause,
About a forgotten Arab cause.
About a lost peace, I write to you,
About a pariah people, I write to you.
Meetings, statements, condemnations,
Denunciations, bulldozers, settlements...
We have waited so long...so long for this peace to come
Wishing this peace will come, wishing for this crow to leave.
And all my hope lies in my nation... that hope awakens in it.
O stones, O stones, take the signal,
And ransom Jerusalem and Hebron.
O raid, we are the spark,
No one among us will remain servile.
O people, O free and noble Arab people,
Tides have turned, and now you are besieged,
Tides have turned, and now you are besieged,
Baghdad, Tripoli, Jaffa, and Hebron.
From the mouth of a volcano, we defeat the dangers.
With great sorrow and regret, I write to you, O every Arab,
Arab nationalism, where did it go?
Arab nationalism, where did it go?
