| كلمات أغنية "بدي سلام | I WANT PEACE |
| | |
| صحيت اليوم لقيت حالي بَصْفن بمراسيم جنين | I was correct today. I found myself contemplating images of madness. |
| والجنود فنّان يرسم ع شعبي خدود مليانه دموع | and the soldiers. Upon my people an artist drew the tears of a million cheeks. |
| يحصد الأرواح و يروح من غير "من وين رايح وين جاي" | They harvests souls and they do it without even a "Where you coming from? Where you going?" |
| صحيت ع جنون انرسمله أسهم دخول تفضّل معي ع البداية | I was right about a madness that drawn in the incoming arrows. Come with me to the beginning. |
| العالم قنعنا أنه في دولة قالونا في سلطة | The world convinced us that in a state, as they told us, there is sovereignty. |
| يلّا شرّفونا بديمقراطية يلّا بفلسطين في انتخابات حرّة | Come on! Honor us with democracy! Come on! In Palestine there are free and fair elections! |
| اسنتنّى! بعقلي في علامة سؤال تضوي بقوّة | Wait! In my mind, there's a question mark that’s powerfully illuminated: |
| منذ متى الديموقراطية بتيجي قبل الحريّة؟ سألت الأمّة | How long will democracy keep coming before freedom? I asked the Umma, |
| بس سؤالي طفى قبّال ضواو الكاميرات عشان | but my question was extinguished in the face of the camera lights because |
| كأنّه أعفى مين يشيل ع الأحداث مسلّطين العدسات | it's like being blind. Who will remove these calamities, whose glare is shimmering in the lenses? |
| الشعب ماسك ورق عشان اليوم يوم عطلة في انتخابات | The people are clinging to a piece of paper because today is the day off for the elections. |
| الكل مُدَنْدَن تقول بدينيه سامع طرب بطريقة للبوكسة | Everyone's singing. You say two _______ herding a song like a punch to the face. |
| العالم حضر تمثيلية واحنا مثّلناها منيح | The world attended a farce while we played our parts well. |
| فريق نزل فريق طلع طيّب فريق الأزم يزيح | A team went down, a team went up. Good, now a team can get rid of the crisis. |
| التمثيلية كان إلها نهاية مفاجئة العالم فكّر ما تصير | The farce had a surprising ending. The world thought about what’s happening. |

| بدّي سلام... هاهاها يا سخرية | I want peace... Hahaha, O Irony! |
| بدّي سلام... كنّا بدنا سلام مع العدو هلأ بدنا سلام مع حالنا | I want peace... We wanted peace with the enemy. Now we want peace with ourselves. |

| العالم بدّه يعاقب شعبي بدّه يخاطب شعبي | The world wants to punish my people. It wants to lecture my people |

| واحنا ما فهمناش أيش بصير. هيّا! ليش الجماعة زعلانين | We didn't understand what's happening. Come on! Why is everyone upset? |
| غريب عجيب فكّرتهم مكيّفين ع تقرير المصير | It's strange and amazing how I thought they would accept our self-determination. |
| الوجه المفرود لبس ثوب التكسير | The solitary face wore a broken gown. |
| اقتراعنا مرفوض المقاطعة تحت التنفيذ | Our balloting was refused and interrupted under the administration. |
| تقول الاحتلال العقود ما كفى في نفوذ العالم | You said that decades would not suffice for the occupation to influence the world. |
| يد واحدة التفت وبفلسطين الجوع أتفشّى | It was unified when it turned away from Palestine and let the hunger spread. |
| واحنا جعنا فتوحّمنا على لحوم بعضنا طعجنا | We were starving so we craved meats |
| بواز الفرود على وجوهنا وعلى الزناد ضغطنا عصرنا قتلنا | _______ on our faces and we squeezed the trigger and they crushed us and killed us. |
| إسرائيل خلص تتعبيش احنا بنصفي حالنا بحالنا | Israel is finished with not having its fill of us. It cuts each of us in two, person by person |
| والأمّهات تبكي عشان ابنها نقتل من إلى كانت تناديهم *أزلامنا | and mothers weep because we kill their daughters. The ones calling them were our divining rods. |
| | |
| بدّي سلام... هذه البادية اللي بدنا أياها | I want peace... This countryside is what I want. |
