about
This song is about the women* holding on to the last shreds of hope and the shirts of their loved ones lost to war. "All we want is for our story to be heard."
All proceeds go to aiding women* who have fled their homes due to war and came to Berlin, where I live and am involved in the community.
All proceeds go to aiding women* who have fled their homes due to war and came to Berlin, where I live and am involved in the community.
lyrics
هُدنة
(English traslation below)
دمروا بلادنا عم الخراب بس ديارنا لساتها جواتنا
بيوتنا قدامنا مثل السراب بس لسا منتمسك بحلمنا
منتمسك بثياب إللي راحوا من قبل
لسا مننشر غسيلهم عالحبل
ألوانه بترفرف بين الحصى والرمل
مننشر كمان كتير أشياء عالنجوم
منعلق آمالنا بملاقط والهموم هموم
في حدا شايف شايفنا على هالحال أكيد في حدا كاشف
المي والدموع بتسيل بتمطر على الأطلال ما ضل في شي ناشف
منغسل بثياب إللي راحوا من قبل
لسا مننشر غسيلهم عالحبل
ألوانه بترفرف بين الحصى والرمل
مننشر كمان كتير أشياء عالنجوم
منعلق آمالنا بملاقط والهموم هموم
أنشروا خبرنا خلي يفيض بكل دار
بطلنا عالردار وبطل زي كإنه شي صار
ما بدنا غير إنه حكايتنا
تطلع بعد ما كل شي انهار

HUDNA
————
They destroyed our land
Chaos everywhere
But we carry our houses inside us
Our homes are in front of us
Like a mirage
But we hold on tightly to our dreams
We hold on tightly to the clothes of those who went before us
We still hang them up on the clothes-line
Their colours flutter upon the wind with the sand and ashes
We also hang many things on the stars
We hang our hopes and worries
We turn our heads to the heavens, away from the ruins
Somebody sees us up there
Sees us in this state
Surely, someone has exposed us
Water and tears flow
Rain upon the remains
Nothing is left dry
We wash the clothes of of those who went before us
We still hang them on the clothesline
Their colours flutter upon the wind, between the sand and ashes
Spread the news
Let it flood every home
We’re not on anyone’s radar
It’s like nothing happened
We don’t want anything except that our story is told
After everything that’s happened
