Arabian Song
The teacher said to the village
It was more beautiful in the mountains
Peace be upon you
I live here...
My class was raised with goat's milk and wheat bread
at that time, they hadn't invented the news for fun
when I was younger, I believed in freedom.
The teacher said...
As children, we played on the beaches with kites competing under the sun
while we watched mine rise high, worried it might get ruined
my absent part identified with the humidity.
The teacher said...
Orchestras are the same all over the world, like radio time signals.
On Sundays and holidays, we organized house parties
man is the most domestic and stupid animal there is.
