أحمد قعبور ... بدي غني للناس

اللي بليله غرقان.. سارح بهالنجمات
يتأمل انه في .. مين عم يفكر فيه
الي هربان من الحرب
خوفا سابقها لبعيد
لما تسأل علي صار؟
امها تقلا ما في شي

في موت.. بصرخ ما بيطلع صوت
في موت.. كيف بغني ومالي صوت

بدي غني للناس
الي ما عندن ناس
وكانوا هني الأساس
لكن كيف بغني كيف؟

وبدي غني لبلاد
اهلها بغير بلاد
ونسيت طعم الأعياد
لكن كيف بغني كيف

مين الي بيشن
الحرب باسم حقوق الانسان
بيعلنها باسم الرب
وبايع ربه من زمان

مين الي حول هالارض
لكوكب بائس مجروح
وبيطعنها طول وعرض
والطعنة بتوصل للروح

في جروح
واصعب جرح.. جرح الروح
في جروح
يا عمي ما بدي روح

بدي غني لولاد
بعمرن ما عاشوا ولاد
وبقيوا بهالدنيا ولاد بدي
غني للناس
I WANT TO SING

The one who is drowned in his night
wandering in the stars
hoping to wake up
knowing someone is thinking of him
and the one who has escaped war
and her fear ran before her,
when she asks what happened
her mother tells her - nothing

There is death
I scream, no voice comes out
there is death
how can I sing
when I have no voice

I want to sing for the people
who have no people
yet they are the real ones
but how can I sing ?

I want to sing for countries
whose people
are in other countries
and who have lost the taste
of happiness
but how can I sing ?

Who decides to wage wars
in the name of human rights
and declares them in the name God
when he has sold his God
a long time ago

Who has turned this Earth
to a hopeless wounded planet
stabbing it from all directions
and the stabs reach the soul

there are wounds
and the hardest wound
is that of the soul,
there are wounds
and I don't want to leave...

I want to sing for the people
who have no people
yet they are the real ones
but how can I sing ?

I want to sing for children
who never lived as children
but remained like children
in this world...
but how can I sing ?
