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

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
