Wake up!
Wake up!
There is a house for me near the farthest mosque*
The Chosen, choose for me
BUT I lost it to lies
So wake up! Wake up!
And turn your face to the Chosen
For. these children**became
Elders before the break of dawn.
Enough sleeping!
Enough dreaming!
For the night has cleared
And the dawn has glowed
And the figs and olives have ripened
So wake up! Wake. up!
And turn your face to the Chosen
For those children became
Elders before the break of dawn.
Seventy five years and more
And the sweetheart is heartbroken
And the childhood friend is
Waiting for a traveler who promised her to come back
And to love her forever.
So wake up! Wake up!
For these children became
Elders before the break of dawn
- the farthest mosque is referred it as Al-Aqsa mosque in Arabic (مسجد الاقصي)
**children refers to the Palestinian children living under the Israeli occupation.
