David

I wrote Marhaba after I had worked in the West Bank

I was there to start a jazz education

After I was invited to the Palestinian music festival

Jerusalem Festival I wrote the song

I didn’t write the song in protest, it was an actual realization of love, peace and a liberated Palestine.”

I have sung it in Palestine Middle East Africa Europe South America

Marhaba (Hello) – David Bäck

Marhaba, everybody say

Salamat oye 

Since I’ve been here

For seven years

I can feel the fear

From a soldier’s ear

Love is all around

It’s what I daily hear (Can you feel the love)

Spread the news to every block

Rock around the clock

Marhaba, everybody say 

Salamat oye

I believe in peace

Tough hard it seems

Come and plant a tree

Come and walk with me

Love is all around

It’s what I daily hear (Can you feel the love)

Spread the news to every block

Rock around the clock
