I love this song by Palestinian artist Tamer Abu Ghazaleh. I wish I had time to make an effort to translate. But here are the first two lines:
إلى كل الجعانين من تشيلي للصين
هناك أكل مجاني في أرض فلسطين
To all the hungry, from Chile to China/There's free food in the land of Palestine.
Tamer describes himself as follows: "A composer of alternative Arabic music, and an Oud, Buzuq, and vocal performer. The lyrics in his compositions are in formal (fus-ha), Palestinian, or Egyptian dialect, written by himself or by Arab poets. The lyrics, in general, are not directed towards a specific theme; they express an array of human experience that is not defined by time or place: love, challenge, insecurity, boredom, thrill, frustration, etc."
To learn more about Tamer and to listen to more of his music, go to his Myspace page.
