47 SOUL ٤٧









47SOUL is an electro-mijwez, shamstep, choubi band.

The members are rooted in Bilad Al-Sham, spanning the divides from Amman to the Galilee, the Golan Heights to Ramallah. This new sound of 47SOUL has rapidly amassed fans in the Middle East and Europe by blasting the electric Arabic debka sound through underground music scenes.

Overcoming physical and logistical challenges, they came together to play electronic Palestinian street music. 47SOUL writes and performs to speak about freedom of movement, whether that’s sparking new dance styles or singing about breaking down border check points. For the past 2 years the band has based itself between Jordan and the UK, to spread their new wave of Arabic music.

Their sound is rooted in Arabic Dabke, the celebration dance music from the Bilad Al-Sham area; the name for the land that spans Syria, Palestine, Lebanon, and Jordan. 47SOUL hypes it up with analog synthesizers, drum machines, epic guitar lines, and tripped-out English and Arabic verses from the four singers. The electronic and urban influence in their music takes them far out of the ‘world music’ context and places them in the genre of a new generation of international electronic/hip hop acts that are reinventing the old for the future .This new sound of 47SOUL is called ShamStep.

La dabke palestinese si mescola con la sua variante irachena, lo choubi, a cui si aggiungono coloriture dub e reggae, in un originale crogiolo di apporti diversi che rende possibile la rottura di ogni confine.

Sono di varie nazionalità ma tutti di origine palestinese e siriana i componenti dei 47 Soul, collettivo di musicisti nato ad Amman, Giordania, nella primavera 2013.
E forse alcuni di loro li conosciamo già, dato che hanno tutti una ricca storia musicale alle spalle: Tareq Abu Kwaik – palestinese di nazionalità giordana - è rapper (il suo nome da MC è El Far3i) e polistrumentista; è autore di tre album hip-hop ed è stato inoltre uno dei componenti della band post-rock El Morabba3, con cui ha pubblicato il bellissimo album omonimo.
Walaa Sbeit è un ex-maestro di Haifa, componente della band Ministry of Dub, attore, ballerino e poeta, nonché uno degli ideatori di un singolare progetto socio-politico: insieme a un gruppo di discendenti degli abitanti del villaggio di Iqrit, che attualmente si trova nello stato di Israele, ha inaugurato un progetto che prevede che il villaggio stesso sia ripopolato dai suoi legittimi abitanti, realizzando di fatto quel diritto al ritorno di cui spesso si sente parlare ma di cui pochissimi sono riusciti a godere da quando Israele, sin dagli albori della sua esistenza, ha distrutto interi villaggi deportandone gli abitanti.
Z the People, al secolo Ramzy Suleiman, è un musicista soul e gospel di nazionalità statunitense che ha deciso qualche anno fa di trasferirsi in Giordania; infine Hamza Arnaout, aka El Jihaz, è produttore hip-hop e bassista della band giordana Autostrad.
Niente di strano che l'unione di tutte queste esperienze e sensibilità abbia prodotto questo sound così interessante da ascoltare e conoscere un po' più da vicino.
Nonostante i membri della band ci tengano a rimarcare l’aspetto ludico della loro musica, i temi trattati nelle canzoni sono perlopiù politici e legati alla questione palestinese, che però viene affrontata con una leggerezza intelligente e genuina: la Palestina, sembra dirci 47 Soul, non è solo lacrime e sangue, ma riesce in qualche modo ancora a farci ballare.
Musicalmente, come leggiamo sul loro sito ufficiale, 47 Soul è una "electro-mijwez, shamstep, choubi band": su una base musicale tradizionale tipica del Levante arabo, che viene definita dalla band "musica da matrimonio", si innestano elementi elettronici, dando vita a un mix inedito che il gruppo ha deciso di chiamare shamstep.
La dabke palestinese si mescola con la sua variante irachena, lo choubi, e a tutto questo si aggiungono coloriture dub e reggae, in un originale ed energico crogiolo di apporti diversi che rende davvero tangibile l’idea della rottura di ogni confine, non soltanto musicale.
Il nome del gruppo, infatti, allude un po’ nostalgicamente al 1947, l’anno immediatamente precedente a quello della fondazione dello stato di Israele e della prima guerra arabo-israeliana: un anno tragico per la Palestina in particolare e per l’intero Bilad al-Sham in generale; l’anno della Nakba, della grande disfatta; l’anno in cui sulle carte geografiche vengono segnati confini prima inesistenti, che sul territorio si traducono nella frammentazione di un Paese che era sempre stato unito.
Sono proprio questi i confini che i 47 Soul vogliono abbattere, almeno artisticamente, tornando con la memoria a quel 1947 in cui era ancora possibile incontrarsi nella Grande Siria e in cui le distanze tra Gerusalemme, Amman, Damasco e Beirut venivano annullate da una libertà di circolazione oggi sconosciuta.
Il gruppo ha provato sulla propria pelle l’assurdità dello strappo che il ’48 ha provocato nella storia della regione: trovandosi nell’impossibilità di incontrarsi fisicamente in Medio Oriente per via dei loro passaporti, i cinque musicisti hanno deciso di trasferirsi a Londra per dedicarsi a un’intensissima attività live e per registrare il loro primo album, che sarà intitolato proprio "Shamstep". 
Per coprire le spese di registrazione, la band ha lanciato una campagna di crowdfunding, contando soprattutto sulla sua instancabile attività live per diffondere e far conoscere la propria musica.
Nonostante sia un progetto molto giovane, 47 Soul ha infatti già all’attivo numerosi concerti in prestigiosi festival internazionali: dopo il primo concerto ad Amman, hanno partecipato allo Shubbak Festival nell’estate 2013 e al Nour Festival nell’autunno dello stesso anno. In estate suoneranno al Womad Festival, fondato da Peter Gabriel nel 1980, insieme a musicisti affermati internazionalmente come Souad Massi e Tinariwen.

Abbiamo intervistato Tareq Abu Kwaik chiedendogli di spiegarci meglio lo spirito del progetto 47 Soul.

Hai scritto e dichiarato più volte che non ti piace definire ‘world music’ quella che suonano i 47 Soul. Puoi spiegarci meglio la questione?
L’idea di world music è un’etichetta usata dall’industria musicale a fini commerciali. Quindi, quando si parla di world music, si parla innanzitutto di qualcosa di culturalmente specifico: se fossi africano, per esempio, per me la world music sarebbe Britney Spears... Quindi non credo che sia corretto definire world music tutta la musica che non è inglese o americana... Poi, come 47 Soul, noi non facciamo world music.

Avete fatto molti concerti nel Regno Unito per motivi "pratici", perché non riuscivate a muovervi liberamente nel Bilad al-Sham. Com’è lì il pubblico generalmente? Ci sono differenze rispetto al pubblico che avete avuto di fronte a Amman, per esempio?
Ai concerti vengono sia arabi che vivono qui, sia non arabi che vogliono ascoltare musica nuova e un po’ diversa dal solito. Anche per il pubblico arabo si tratta di musica nuova, ma visto che ci sono elementi di dabke siamo riconoscibili. Quando ci siamo esibiti ad Amman è stata la stessa cosa: chi viene a sentirci lì conosce un po’ questo genere di musica, e viene a sentire che cosa c’è di nuovo in quello che noi proponiamo. Può piacere o meno, ma la dabke la capiscono. E poi vengono anche stranieri, quindi non ci sono molte differenze tra i due tipi di pubblico.
Forse la differenza sta anche nella qualità tecnica, visto che a Londra si suona molta più musica dal vivo di quanta se ne suoni ad Amman. La cosa sta crescendo, c’è gente che inizia a parlarne, c’è un po’ di buzz a Londra, ma non so che dimensioni abbia la faccenda esattamente: facciamo concerti perché la gente venga ad ascoltarci, e tutto ci fa capire che le cose stanno prendendo la giusta piega.
Nel mondo arabo la gente non viene tanto a sentirci in quanto band, ma perché ci conoscono già come musicisti, per le cose che abbiamo già fatto individualmente. Sarà l’album che stiamo per registrare [la data di inizio delle registrazioni è il 6 aprile, nda] a renderci riconoscibili come un gruppo vero e proprio.

Come rapper, tu hai sempre avuto un’attenzione particolare verso il testo e verso la lingua araba: «Qui parliamo arabo, per l’ ‘arabizi*  da quella parte», scandisci nel tuo pezzo di spoken word "al-Muqaddima". I 47 Soul, però, usano sia l’inglese che l’arabo nei testi: come vivi questa svolta linguistica?
Non si tratta di una vera e propria svolta. Quando ho bisogno di esprimere un’idea più ampia e importante, o un testo lungo, uso il rap. Con 47 Soul El Far3i non smette di esistere: suoniamo anche cose del Far3i riarrangiate. Ma a me piace scrivere anche cose più brevi e semplici, non solo testi pieni di dettagli. Mi piace scrivere canzoni, non soltanto testi: il testo è una cosa, la canzone un’altra. Mi piace esprimere le mie idee nelle lingue che conosco: conosco l’inglese e ci sono un sacco di persone che lo parlano, quindi posso comunicare i miei pensieri in maniera efficace e più sintetica. Riesco così ad arrivare a una nuova fetta di pubblico con i 47 Soul.

Perché sentite il bisogno di diffondere la vostra musica a livello internazionale?
Per me il messaggio è molto più importante del luogo geografico in cui mi trovo. Non si può iniziare a costruire qualcosa fuori dal proprio ambiente, ma bisogna iniziare a costruire nel proprio. Non dobbiamo solo importare, dobbiamo anche esportare. Il messaggio non si limita al mondo arabo, è molto più ampio, e anche se raggiungiamo un certo pubblico con la nostra musica, questo non significa che la questione è chiusa così. 
Potremmo anche fare un album tutto in arabo o tutto in inglese. La lingua dipende anche dalle caratteristiche dei vari componenti del gruppo: per esempio usiamo la capacità di Ramzy [Z the People, nda] di scrivere in inglese, perché lui ha vissuto tutta la vita in America e ha una buona tecnica di scrittura. Abbiamo la possibilità di fare tante cose: pop in arabo, pop in inglese, musica underground per quanto riguarda il contenuto... Proviamo a fare qualcosa di simile a un’infiltrazione, ma la regola fondamentale per me è divertirsi ed essere soddisfatti di quello che si fa.

Insomma avete l’opportunità  di diffondere la vostra musica nel migliore dei modi, avvalendovi di tutta una serie di strumenti diversi.
Sì, il discorso delle opportunità è un punto chiave: se ho l’opportunità di far capire delle cose alla gente nel posto in cui vivo senza sacrificare il mio messaggio, e conosco un’altra lingua, allora sento che è un mio dovere usarla per veicolare il mio pensiero. Poi non uso solo l’inglese, uso anche l’arabo, quindi questo è un valore aggiunto. Il confine tra la musica, il business e l’attivismo è molto sfocato.
C’è gente che dice che se devi vivere della tua musica, allora devi necessariamente sacrificare una parte del tuo messaggio, ma io non credo che sia così. Se sai organizzarti e se sai lavorare bene, puoi fare entrambe le cose. Posso mettermi a fare canzoni per vivere, ma allo stesso tempo caricare una track su Soundcloud ed esprimere la mia opinione.
Ci sono due strade: una è quella della formula preconfezionata, per cui non hai talento, ma le case discografiche ti forniscono questa formula e tu la applichi come uno schiavo; l’altra è che sei un musicista indipendente di talento e che raggiungi un livello tale che il music business finisce per giovarsi di quello che fai senza che tu debba abbassare gli standard qualitativi. Così, l’underground diventa mainstream ma mantiene lo stesso livello artistico e il messaggio non scende a compromessi.

 Nota:
*La parola ‘arabizi è una crasi tra le parole ‘arabi e inglizi, e si usa per designare un fenomeno linguistico molto comune nel mondo arabo che consiste nel mescolare le due lingue sia all’interno di uno stesso discorso, sia all’interno di una singola frase.

Random House البيت العشوائي




Random House is a Jordanian experimental band based in Amman. It was formed by four members, Qais Alfroukh, Feras Arrabi, Ahmad Al Haj, Osama Alkurdi.. They all reflect their own musical background in the music of the project by a variety of musical styles, like indie rock, reggae, punk rock mixed with sufi music.

The name of the band is inspired by the belief that all universal laws were created after a completely random interaction between its own elements (in both the physical and the spiritual realms of the universe), so the only way for humanity to find Utopia is by living a life based on complete natural freedom, free will, and randomness.

Zaman Al Zaatar زمن الزعتر




Zaman al-Zaatar (Sign of Thyme) is an oriental fusion band led by Yacoub Abu Ghosh, a widely acknowledged composer and bass guitarist who plays in Jordan and throughout the region.

The beauty in Zaman Al Zaatar’s music could be a reflection of every face one may encounter on the streets of our cities.

The band has performed in many venues and festivals locally and regionally and enjoys a considerable following in most big cities in the middle east.

As a live act Zaman Al Zaatar employs a unique arrangement of western and Middle Eastern instruments to properly accentuate the fusion of styles that combined produce the sound of the band.

Ahmad Shehadeh أحمد شحادة AKA Kazz كاز AKA Kazz Al Omam كاز الأمم






 


Ahmad Shehadeh/ Kazz (March 21st, 1992) is a poet and rapper who originates from Palestine but resides in Jordan. He is one of the founders of Torabyeh’s project. He was born in 1992 in Saudi-Arabia. He is mostly known for his video song Ghorbeh. Kazz is one of the founders of the creation of an alternative, radical and liberating music that speaks on behalf and truthfully reflects the streets. He worked on Torabyeh’s project, which includes producing its first album (Bonyeh Ta7teyeh) and then a mix tape including the song Ghorbeh. He participated in many workshops and projects. Mostly notably is a project known Sentences on the banks and other activities, and many others. which held place in Darat al Funun. Currently, he is working on a solo project called Kazz AlOmam.

Kazz AlOmam: is an artistic, philosophical and simplistic project that sees more powerful words than riffles as a resisting tool. It depends on a symbolic poetry style in order to highlight its importance in literature as a social and thinking aspect, which rebels from different issues in somewhat a latent way. Also, it’s a project that is a bit distant from reality and its social and political issues, instead it seeks fantasy in which symbols represent the rational meanings and emotions, seeking an unknown ideal world in order to fulfill the spiritual emptiness that it does not posses.

On June 2, 2013, released "Athar alGhorab" the first album of the project Kazz al Oman






                                        






أحمد شحادة/كاز (21 آذار 1992م) شاعر ورابر فلسطيني الأصل مقيم بالأردن، وأحد القائمين على مشروع ترابية. ولد عام 1992م في السعودية. أكثر ما اشتهر به أغنية غربة المصورة، وهو من أوائل القائمين على إنشاء قاعدة موسيقية بديلة، راديكالية وتحررية ناطقة بلسان الشارع وصادقة بما تنقل عنه. عمل بمشروع ترابية على إنتاج ألبومها الأول (بنية تحتية) ومن ثم الميكس تيب، والذي يتضمن أغنية غربة. شارك بالعديد من ورشات العمل والفعاليات والمشاريع، من أهمها مشروع (عبارات على الضفاف وأنشطة أخرى) الذي أقيم بدارة الفنون. الأن يعمل على مشروعه الفردي باسم كاز الأمم

كاز الأمم: مشروع فنّي وفلسفي بشكل مبسّط، يرى أن الكلمة أقوى من البارود كأداة مقاومة. يعتمد بكتابته على أسلوب الشعر الرمزي لأهميته بالأدب كمضمون فكري واجتماعي متمرد على العديد من القضايا، بطري0قة مستترة بعض الشيء، وهو أيضا مشروع بعيد قليلا عن عالم الواقع وما فيه من مشكلات إجتماعية وسياسية، ويلجأ إلى عالم الخيال بحيث يكون الرمز هو المعبّر عن المعاني العقلية والمشاعر العاطفية، ويبحث عن العالم المثالي المجهول، ليسد به الفراغات الروحية التي لا يمتلكها

El Morabba3 المربَع









المربّع هو أربع زوايا اساسية احداها هو صوت محمّد عبد الله و كلماته الناقدة و أخرى هي نبرة طارق أبو كويك و كلماته الباحثة عن الأمل أمّا عدي شواقفة فزاويته مسؤولة عن خلق الأصوات البعيدة و القريبة التي تملأ الفراغ بين الكلمات و أخيرا الزاوية المكمّلة للمربّع هي ايقاعات ضرار شواقفة التي تحمل الكلمات و الألحان و الأصوات و تضيف لحنا ايقاعيا عليها......
لذا فان المربّع هو نافذة نرى من خلالها أشياء نريد التعبير عنها..يمكنكم التخيّل ماذا نرى في هذا الجزء من العالم..






 

El Morabba3 is a combination of 4 angles in which one of them holds Muhammad Abdullah's voice and lyrics the other contains Tareq Abu Kwiak's voice and lyrics, then comes Odai Shawagfeh's ambient guitar sounds that fill the air around the words and finally Dirar Shawagfeh's melodic grooves that carry everything out..
El Morabba3 to us is the window in which we see things we want to express...being from a region that had seen alot of occupation (still does) you can imagine what we see!

Line up : 


Dirar Shawagfeh (drums, arrangement)
Muhammad Abdullah (bass, song writer, vocal, arrangement)
Odai Shawagfeh (Electric guitar, midi effects, arrangement)
Tareq Abu Kwaik( song writer, vocal, arrangement and percussions )

El Morabba3 - Arab rock searching for a sound of its own 




What if you are leaving the comfort zone of traditional Arabic music but don’t want to replicate western rock stars? Adam Hedengren chatted with El Morabba3, the new Jordanian rock band that makes music on their own terms.
El Morabba3 is a family business; Tareq and Mohammed are vocalists and songwriters but also cousins and had worked together on various projects when they decided to set up a band that would allow them to create new sounds. They teamed up with Dirar and Odai, two brothers who enjoy playing “non-traditional grooves”.

Lyrics are in Arabic, but the sound of this emerging rock band from Jordan is anything but traditional.

“We did not want to sound like a western rock band that only sings in Arabic, neither did we want to sound like a western style mixing Arabic instruments,” the band tells Your Middle East.

They all feel strongly about the musical heritage of their region and say that there is no reason to mess with that. Rather, it is the alternative music space that is in need of a fresh breeze.

“As for the alternative sounds we felt like it lacked the characters of the place,” they said, being very particular about having a unique sound. “It is about how we as Arabs play the drums, guitar, bass, percussion and then sing over it.”

El Morabba3 tries to encourage fellow Arab artists who play alternative, fusion or just typical western music to do less covers and more original tunes. This way, “we can hear more of what Arabs sound like,” they said. Singing in Arabic is also important, if just for the simple reason that people can relate more.

El Morabba3 belongs to Amman; a city they say is special in many ways. It’s a place for Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrians, Egyptians and other nationalities to meet up in a “big Arab hug in the middle of a bunch of borders and check points.”

This allows the capital to play a pivotal role for all new Arabic styles – not just in Jordan. Also, there isn’t much commercial music coming out of the country so alternative sounds have a greater chance of reaching a wider audience here.

Inspiration, on the other hand, can come from anywhere in the Middle East.

“We live in a region that is full of intense events on a daily basis. We find inspiration on the streets, in the news about neighbouring areas that we can’t go to, in people, in other music, in dreams just about anything.”

When it comes to how local customs impact creative freedom, they agree that censorship is always in place, but that is not unique for Jordan.

“It is hard to think that anyone can write without self-censorship, that will always be true. But as far as Amman goes we have pushed it a little with our first debut album. If necessary for our content then we will push it some more.”

But then again, it is how people act and see things that inspire the band to make music. They want to be honest about reality, which is why in a song about love the listeners may find revolutionary messages hidden in between vocals and rhythmic drumbeats.

Although El Morabba3 has a strong footing in the local environment – their second album will be “even more Arabic as far as the choice of musical scales and vocal lines goes” – they are heading towards a more electronic sound. One of their favourite Arab artists is Cheb Khaled, king of raï and master of the synthesizer.

The band is still new – their most popular song on YouTube had 25,800 views at the time of writing – so it is too early to tell if their sound is new and appealing enough to reach a very large audience. But one thing is clear; they talk about music in the way one would like music to be spoken of, as if it’s both a science and a calling. A combination of pinpointing, almost logically, how to interact with the instruments while at the same time finding chords on pure feeling and emotion.


“We like to think that the vocal lines and the quarter note coming out of an electric guitar should be interesting to a western audience and that the way the drums and baselines are put under these Arabic vocal lines and lyrics should be interesting to an Arab audience,” they say.

Ultimately, however, it all comes down to the basics.

“In a more general sense, when one likes a song they don't think of why they like it - they just feel it.”

Torabyeh ترابية






Torabyeh An Amman based alternative art’s group, Torabyeh is commited to pioneering a much needed art’s revolution in Amman. They communicate their messages of revolt through text, sound and image. Rap, hip-hop and rebellious lyrics against the background of traditional Arab music creates a unique new genre of sound to Arab music.

Torabyeh reflect the disgraceful reality and without feelings of sympathy towards anything or anyone. Alienation, indifference, anger and the sense of injustice are delivered through hip-hop music video, which hits us hard in the stomach, mainly reflecting the aggressive message and no compromise for Palestinian refugees in Jordan.

Members of Torabyeh: Firas Shehadeh, Ahmed Shehadeh (MC Kazz), Saed
Masannat (DJ Voinic) , spiro mukurker (MC Rasasah)




 


ترابيّة: مشروع فنّي فكري، يعتمد الصدمة في توصيل أفكار الفن و الثّورة، عبر الكلمة و الموسيقى و الأداء، يستقي أفكاره من التّاريخ التحرّري و الفلسلفي و يطرحها بأسلوب ثقافة الشّارع، محاولا رفع أو تجريب اللّعب على الوعي الجمْعي، و تدمير الثّقافة الإستهلاكيّة و النهج الرّأسمالي.

 Ghorbah     (Weird )  -   lyrics


Spiro Mukurker (MC Rasasah)

"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 "


Hussam Abed (CHORUS)


 "Could it be that we have reached to this point?
Our country needs her men, she has become a widower
It's time to stand up
Ziad Rahbani tell them who's the non-believer "


Ahmed Shehadeh (MC Kazz)

"I am packing my things getting ready to leave
From Amman to a place with no moonlight
All desert...all alcohol...with only a few trees
So I can feed myself from you mother nature
With your fast growth ...you are never satisfied
Because they are always cutting you down...I will protect you
From all of those non-believers
My grandfather had an orchard and he always protected you
But when the sons of bitches occupied the land they stole you
And my grandfather lived and died dreaming of you
Now I come to you to share my pain
Because I felt that me and you are the same
The projects in Amman are throwing us around
Mother nature hold me and return me back inside you
Because all this construction above you is adding to my pain
I wish I was a gypsy going from tent to tent
Because my place in this society has no worth
I don't feel well, I feel like shit
We've been fucked a thousand times and we're still going backwards
After what has happened and what will happen
The fate is the same; murdered or captured
I am like all of those who life threw to the gutter
Deprived from happiness and sentenced to fade away
The only difference is that I am supported by rhythm"



Hussam Abed (CHORUS)


"Could it be that we have reached to this point?
Our country needs her men, she has become a widower
It's time to stand up "
Ziad Rahbani tell them who's the non-believer"

فيرس ١ / رصاصة
 
مكانتي من ورا فني مشوه
وشعري عن شعبي لشعبي مالو أي معني
خروجي من الأرض مسألة وقت فقط
وعملي للأحسن مش لألقي أجر بالسما
بس بدي مكان أضمن فيو حق إبني
آنا مش قاتل بس قادر أجرم من أجل حقي
عشان وطني قلمي قاعد بكتب باسمي
بديش مجندة اسرائيلية تمنع دفني بوطني
بدي أندفن بنفس المقبرة إللي اندفن فيها جدي
وانا من طفولتي بحلم لما أكبر أصير جندي
مع الوقت إكتشفت لمين بدي أنتمي
محمود عباس فتح حماس ولا جبهة
خليني حر حواري لإنهم كلهم مرتزقة
مش قادر أتعامل مع شعب عايش جوا كذبة
الصورة حلوة والخلفية مدمرة
صرنا بدنا فيزا إحنا مشان ندخل وطنا
شكلو الشعب إلتهى بالثورة
نسى العراق ونسى شتيلا وصبرا
وانا رافض انسان بمستوى عادي
والمتوفر بعمان بأفضل ظروفه انسان عاري
فليش ما أنتمي لثورة حرة
فيها صاحب العمل والأجير بنفس المستوى
ولك رصاصة خلك هادي
ولك كيف واسرائيل شعبها كلو جيش إحتياطي


كورس/ حسام عابد

له ولو وصلنا لهيك مرحلة
الوطن بدو رجال و وطنا صار أرملة
جد قبعت وجى الوقت لواجه
زياد رحباني قلهم مين الكافر


فيرس ٢/ كاز

عم بضب أغراضي لجهز حالي للسفر
من عمان لمكان فش فيو ضو قمر
كلو صحرا كلو خمرة فس فيو شوية شجر
لحتى غذي حالي منك .. إنتي يا طبيعة
بنموك سريعة فما بتتهني بعمرك
لإنهم بعملو على قصك فحقك عندي
من كل هالكفرة إللي ما بآمنو بوجودك
سيدي كان عندو بيارة وكان دايما يصونك
بس لما إخوات **** إحتلو البلاد أخدوكي
وعاش سيدي ومات وهو عم يحلم فيكي
عم بجيكي أنا هسة لأشكيلك همي
لإني حسيت في تشابه ما بينك وبيني
مشاريع عمان عم ترميكي وترميني
فيا أرض إحتضنيني ولجواتك رجعيني
لإنو كل هالبنى إللي قوفك عم بزيد وجعي
صار نفسي أصير غجري من خيمة لخيمة
لأنو مكانتي بهالمجتمع مافي ألها أية قيمة
نفسيتي مش سليمة، نفسيتي ماكلة خرا
لإن **** ألف مرة ولساتنا عم نرجع لورا
فا بعد إللي صار وبعد إللي هيصير
بطل يفرق شو المصير مقتول أو أسير
لإنو زيي زي كل واحد رمتو الدنيا بالقاع
وحرمتو من الإستمتاع وحكمتو إنو ضاع
بس الفرق الواحد إني راكي على إيقاع


كورس/ حسام عابد

له ولو وصلنا لهيك مرحلة
الوطن بدو رجال و وطنا صار أرملة
جد قبعت وجى الوقت لواجه
زياد رحباني قلهم مين الكافر
