الربيع العربي [Al Rabih Al Arabi] [English translation]

Which spring should I sing about? Which spring should I talk about?

This pain that I am reflecting is a scream channeled from my heart

Which spring should I sing about? Which spring should I talk about?

Who is the one in charge of these innocent people's death?

We dreamt of a spring with the smell of flowers spreading all around

But instead the spring flowered with the blood of innocent children

It started off with a peaceful movement within our squares

But they turned it into a bloody rebellion that kills people in religion's name

Powerful countries interfered with their political interests in mind

Sleep was not an option for our neighborhoods were insecure

They brought barbaric Mongols to fight as warriors

Their roaring voices filled the streets

They told them the Arab World is a warfare trench

The Arabs have the right to choose their own fate, to be free

But this rebellion took them back to slavery

Which spring should I sing about? Which spring should I talk about?

This pain that I am reflecting is a scream channeled from my heart

Which spring should I sing about? Which spring should I talk about?

Who is the one in charge of these innocent people's death?

We dreamt of a spring with the smell of flowers spreading all around

But instead the spring flowered with the blood of innocent children

It started off with a peaceful movement within our squares

But they turned it into a bloody rebellion that kills people in religion's name

Revolutions of change are for the better but this one was for the worse

This one caused delay, turned us into a mockery

We expected a green spring that precedes a new summer

But they turned our spring into a bloody one, filled with deadly weapons

Winter will come along and wash away our red lands

The revolution of life will conquer with a cry to humanity

They called it the Arab Spring that preceded a chaotic fall

They prevented us to succeed with a peaceful movement

Which spring should I sing about? Which spring should I talk about?

This pain that I am reflecting is a scream channeled from my heart

Which spring should I sing about? Which spring should I talk about?

Who is the one in charge of these innocent people's death?

We dreamt of a spring with the smell of flowers spreading all around

But instead the spring flowered with the blood of innocent children

It started off with a peaceful movement within our squares

But they turned it into a bloody rebellion that kills people in religion's name
