Lyrics: Mahmoud Darwish
The mask has fallen, from over the mask
From over the mask,
The mask’s fallen
I might lose life… Yes
But now I say No!
It is the last of words, No!
It is all that is left from the air on earth,
No!
It is all that is left from the pieces of my soul,
No!
Beirut... No!
Siege your besiege,
No other choice
Hit your enemy,
No other choice
Your arm has fallen, so pick
it up
I have fallen by your side, so pick me up
And hit your enemy with me,
For you are now free...
Free...
Free!
Dead and wounded are a endowment within you
So, with them, hit your enemy
For you are now free...
Free...
Free!
Siege your besiege with madness
Those you loved are gone now
So it is either to be
Or not to be.
