Song Title: Alt er dekket av blod (Everything is covered in blood)
Alt er dekket av blod (Everything is covered in blood) – Mohamad Walid
Jeg kan ikke tro
alt er dekket av blod
barn, menn og kvinner
Drømmer som forsvinner
jeg kan ikke tro
verden vender ryggen til
Når de ser for mye ild
Alt er sprengt i filler.
så rop med meg når jeg sier
la gaza leve
la barna leve
la oss rope høyt for våpenhvile
From the river to the sea
Palestine will be free
From the river to the sea
Palestine will be free
From the river to the sea
Palestine will be free
Jeg kan ikke tro
Dobbelmoralen er stor
Ledere som ikke fordømmer
Nyheter som ikke stemmer
Jeg kan ikke tro
Maten slippes ikke inn
Kroppene er altfor tynn
Alt i gaza brenner
så rop med meg når jeg sier
la gaza leve
la barna leve
la oss rope høyt for våpenhvile
From the river to the sea
Palestine will be free
From the river to the sea
Palestine will be free
From the river to the sea
Palestine will be free

Through this time of hurt we have now connected
Our differences don’t matter, we know it for the fact and
We see their plans of greed
Using people, Earth, for their domain
No one will buy
Another business dies
They scream destroy
But we know what is joy
They scream destroy
But we know what is joy
We multiply
We won’t apply
Find each other gathered around Palestine
With love we fight
We fill the Earth with life
With love we fight
We fill the Earth with life
Planting seeds of green
Planting seeds of humanity
Proceed
They have no power without us

Calling out for peace – General Knas
(Intro.)
Warning warning fascist tun up
Warning warning people fed up
Warning warning
Warning warning
(Chorus. )
I hear the people calling, calling out for peace
Calling out for justice in the Middle East
Free Palestine we go the streets
Calling murder and Violence fi cease
(1. verse. )
Nah support Genocide in Zion
Little but we tough like lion
Hard we go rough like iron
Nah support no genocide in Zion
Long time we go warn them
Finish up the war them
Boycott them who arm them
General inform them
Long time we warn them
Done with the war them
people keep calling
Inshallah this morning
Thousand thousand thousand thousand we are millions millions civilians
England Sweden Jamaican all are Palestinians
(Chorus)
(2. verse.)
Until the philosophy with hold one race superior
And another inferior in an apartheid regime
Concentration camps colonial scheme
Rise up stand strong stand in solidarity
The whole a we are one so we walk in unity
Me no matter where you from stand for humanity
From the river to the sea Palestine shall be free
From the river to the sea Palestine shall be free
Cut off the water say them cut down the trees
War crimes don’t let them succeed
No justice no peace
(Chorus)
(3.Verse.)
bombs keeps falling war over Gaza
children crying such a disatser
who is the bossman who is the master
why no one stop it give me an answer
The world keeps burning turning much faster
Mothers crying yearning for answer
No more tears now no more laughter
Time is now nothing comes after
Claws – Refractory Period
Stop trying to defend me
I didn’t ask for your help
You think you’re gonna befriend me
But I couldn’t be more repelled
Cause you’re a walking contradiction
Just a pathetic little worm
You speak with too much conviction
So let me just reaffirm
That you don’t speak for me
Cause I don’t want to be your cause
I’m not your poster girl
I’m never gonna applaud
All of the pain and suffering you cause
All of the venom you hurl
Because you’re just a fraud
I got my claws out (x3)
I’m not gonna imitate you
You cannot bend me to your will
But I will incriminate you
For all the blood you have spilled
You say you’re fighting for my honor
That I’m a damsel in distress
You lead my loved ones to the slaughter
You think that makes me impressed?
No, you don’t speak for me
Cause I don’t want to be your cause
I’m not your poster girl
I’m never gonna applaud
All of the pain and suffering you cause
All of the venom you hurl
Because you’re just a fraud
I got my claws out (x3)
I’m gonna fight you
Gonna struggle
Gonna brawl
Gonna eviscerate you
Gonna make you crawl
You’re gonna rue the day
You tried to make me fall
Not gonna put me up against your wall
Cause I don’t want to be your cause
I’m not your poster girl
I’m never gonna applaud
All of the pain and suffering you cause
All of the venom you hurl
Because you’re just a fraud
I got my claws out
Come back from the stones – Cordelia Fri
You write your names on the bombs
So tough behind your missile launcher dressed up at Santa Claus
You say we’re animal people What does that mean? Why are we unworthy of your empathy?
Mama where have you gone
I’m hungry and cold
I need you beside me
Come back from the stones
Come back from the stones
I’m gonna die here
Come back from the stones
I need you beside me
Ooohhh…
Another bomb, and you rejoice
You mock the children you’ve killed
Swinging on their swings
And trashing their toys
Not even an animal can fail to see
You’re the ones who have lost your humanity
Mama where have you gone?
I’m hungry and cold
I need you beside me
I can’t sleep on my own
Come back from the stones
I’m gonna die here
Come back from the stones
I need you beside me
Mama, where have you gone,
I’m hungry and cold
I need you beside me
Come back from the stones
Come back from the stones
I’m gonna die here
Come back from the stones,
I need you beside me
Ooohh…
Demonize Dehumanize – Proletarian Poetry
[The Israeli version]
We are fighting human animals,
Let’s nuke them, destroy, wipe them out
No-one is innocent, the targets are everywhere
No ceasefire, no ceasefire, let’s wipe them out
Demonize – Dehumanize
[The reality]
No water, no food, nowhere to hide
Hospitals and schools are blown to pieces
UN workers, journalists, no one is safe
It’s becoming a graveyard for children
Demonize – Dehumanize
Oppression and war crimes, decades of impunity
Speak up for human rights!
It’s a textbook case of genocide
Speak up for human rights – end the occupation!
Demonize – Dehumanize
Diane – Smallholder
I met you pulling out of Jack London Station
I was in my assigned seat along with your things
You shoved me from behind
And said, hey can’t you read?
It was twelve more hours till LA
The seats in coach were fairly cozy
I figured I’d try talking to you
You had hot pink hair and a tarot tattoo
Oh Dianne
Oh Dianne
Dianne from Spokane to San Diego
Left home and enlisted at 18
Secretary or housewife wasn’t your thing
You figured you’d try something new
And a handsome army man recruited you
But what you saw there, you knew it wasn’t right
And the violence wasn’t just from enemy lines
Your male comrades took your body from your mind
Oh Dianne
Oh Dianne
Dianne from Spokane to San Diego
And for all your plans
For after Vietnam
They seem to have dried in the sun of New Mexico
And you feel it calling in your bones
It’s been calling you since you got home
You thought you’d try love and start a home
And you were on your way
But that fear it settled in your spine
And those damn pills have got you in a bind
Three grown kids you haven’t seen since ’99
But you’re on your way now
Oh Dianne
Oh Dianne
Dianne from Spokane to San Diego
And for all your plans
For after Vietnam
They seem to have dried in the sun of New Mexico
El Alfilador – Las Marikarmen
Quien se meta con nosotres…
tendrá problemas… (x3)
Quien se meta con nosotres…
los tiros vuelan… (x3)
Las Marikarmen
Quien se meta con nosotres
Trendrá problemas, pr-pr-pr-problemas
Reshuleo, vasileo, salimo de roneo
mete el bafle en el coche que hoy hay parkineo
modelito bien freskito enseña totito
dónde vamo, dónde estamos, nos hemos perdío
[Chorus]
Las almendras marcan, cuadradas levantan, ballerina raja y stiletto clava (x2)
Estoy en mi piso y pasa el afilador
ella está en pijama y baja en el ascensor
“No llevo cuchillos, no llevo navajas
afílame las uñas que mi sugar me lo paga”
Quien se meta con nosotres…
tendrá problemas…
Hemos llegao a unas kelis, menuo poderío
Mucho money mucho cash, ki vamoa roba
drone, cámara, kiero ese vestío
de vuelta a la rave llegamo en un navío
[Chorus]
English translation
Whoever messes with us…

Las Marikarmen
Whoever messes with us
will have problems…, pr-pr-pr-problems
Beautiful, gyrating, out on the town
Put the speaker in the car cuz there’s a parking-lot-party today
The little model shows everything
Where are we going, where are we, we got lost
[Chorus]
Almond-eyes mark, squares lift,
Ballerina slits and stilettos nail (x2)
I’m in my apartment and the sharpener passes
She’s in pajamas and goes down in the elevator
“I don’t carry knives, I don’t carry razors
“Sharpen my nails, my sugar will pay it”
Whoever messes with us…
will have problems…
We reached some kelis, what power
Lots of money, lots of cash, let’s go steal
Drone, camera, I want that dress
Back to the rave we arrive on a ship
[Chorus]
F is Real – Lil Moe
[Vers 1]
Hur många barn måste gå bort? Tills ni förstår
Hur många föräldrar ska ni lämna i djupa sår?
Ni har splittrat familjer, som vill ba’ överleva
Krigar för sitt land, skriker ”Fria Palestina”
Men ingen hör, för media dem stör
Med deras propaganda, sprider lögner som smör
Dem pratar bra om Oppsen, men de är värre än tumör
I say ”Fuck Israel”, jag hoppas att ni hör
[Refräng]

[Vers 2]
1948 allt började, dom fick ett finger
Sen tog en arm, sen mördade
Broder, alla städer i landen är ockuperade
Det var snällt av dem, bara två lämnade
Dem vill stoppa terrorister, det är det dem påstår
Varför bomba VB? Kan inte förstå
Ni vill stoppa terrorister, det är det ni påstår
Vart har ni varit, senaste 75 år?

F.T.R.T.T.S. – Nour Badra
Det här är inte antisemitism
Det är rösten från en grabb vars folk har blivit förtryckt
76 fucking år bror jag fattar ingenting
Ännu en vitmakt stat som bombar the middle east, mannen
Free Falastin
From the river to the sea
Det e folkmord
För våra liv är mindre värt än våra oljor
Och politiker får cash
Placerade av de som står på banks
Så jag sjunger free Falastin
From The River To The Sea
Politikerna payade och
Gatorna blir sprayade så
Free Falastin
From The River To The Sea
Zionister, parasiter
Gör familjerna till lik, mannen
Free Falastin
Fria Palestina
Free Falastin
Fria Palestina
Free Falastin
Fria Palestina
Folk de tror jag haft det lätt hela tiden
De ser bara resultat inte slitet
Där jag kommer från vi alla är i skiten
Någon dag svär på gud då vi skiner
Bakk palestina,
Skiter i mannen fuck alla som tvivlar
Jag och mitt folk vi är trötta på att lida
försöker gömma oss, men snart kommer vi synas
(yeah yeyeyea)
För de lever ju i kris
(yeah yeyeyea)
Det här är inget krig
Handlar ej om politik
Det vår verklighet
Skiter i vilket parti
Jag kräver mänsklighet
Jag sjunger free Falastin
From The River To The Sea
Politikerna payade och
Gatorna blir sprayade så
Free Falastin
From The River To The Sea
Zionister, parasiter
Gör familjerna till lik, mannen
Free Falastin
Fria Palestina
Free Falastin
Fria Palestina
Free Falastin
Fria Palestina
Jag vet att de ser snett på mig
Det därför mamma bett för mig
Jag fortsätter förbättra mig
Du fortsätter agendan, Nej
Jag kommer aldrig ändra mig
Jag är som jag är
För man är formad på ett sätt
När man levt i misär
Två kulturer som jag bär
Två sidor, det som är min karaktär
Se och lär, kastar sten på militär,
För de tog vårat land, våran mat
El, vatten, våra barn
men aldrig våran själ
Jag ser våra bröder falla
Tårar från mödrar ramla
Böner obesvarade
Och våra barn är beväpnade
Nyfödda utan mamma
Barnens kroppar kalla
Sjukhusen blir bombade
Och våra släktingar fångade…
Vi e maskrosbarn med rötter i betongen
Babylon stampar ner oss ingen vet om det
Inhalerar blåser ut all vår ångest
Känslorna går upp med röken ifrån holken
Så sjung en sång för din betong
Jao sjung en sång för din betong
Sjung en sång för din betong
Jag sjunger free Falastin
From The River To The Sea
Politikerna payade och
Gatorna blir sprayade så
Free Falastin
From The River To The Sea
Zionister, parasiter
Gör familjerna till lik, mannen
Free Falastin
Fria Palestina
Free Falastin
Fria Palestina
Free Falastin
Fria Palestina

Flowers Will Bloom ft. Aksnra – Nefe Euri
In the sight of your little eyes
And in front of your weary face
The city burned into ashes
And the dust covered every space
Your shaky legs are struggling to run
Yet the smoky sky is hiding the sun
But believe that flowers will bloom
Wiping out all the gloom
Dear, when there’s no place to hide
Take the sky as your shelter
And let us be your soldiers
That speak louder and louder
We won’t be silent until the only thing that wakes you up is the bird singing of your
beautiful soul
No longer the sound of the explosion and the sound of falling debris
We’ll make them listen, make them feel, make them open their eyes to see
That no one should be living in fear
That no heart should be bleeding from all of this relentless agony
That everyone deserves to be free
For every tear that’s shed
And every dream that shattered
You really have to know
That you’ll never be alone
That you’ll never be alone
‘Cause God will always be there
And listen to every prayer
And your brave heart won’t betray
Love will win at the end of the day
Folket i Gaza (The people of Gaza) – Frida och Mariam
Det brinner i Gaza, ingen slipper undan
Barn precis som våra, med drömmar och passion
Jag sitter här, känner mig så maktlös, känner sån frustration
Min familj där borta, deras hem finns inte kvar
Men vår kärlek för Palestina är det ingen som tar
Jag skriker ut mina frustrationer
Världen verkar blunda för situationen
Men mitt hjärta slår för friheten
Och jag vet att du är medveten
Gör något, jag sa gör något
Visa dina handlingar För folket i Gaza
Gör något, jag sa gör något
Visa dina handlingar För folket i Gaza
Politikers drag, i ett spel för makt
De bryr dig inte de har de redan sagt
Vi alla har sett samma sak men ni väljer att blunda
Hur kan ni låta något gå före, det kommer vi alltid undra
Jag skriker ut mina frustrationer
Världen verkar blunda för situationen.
Men mitt hjärta slår för friheten
Och jag vet att du är medveten
Gör något, jag sa gör något
Visa dina handlingar För folket i Gaza
Gör något, jag sa gör något
Visa dina handlingar För folket i Gaza
Låt oss kämpa för rättvisa låt oss kämpa för fred
Låt oss kämpa för rättvisa tillsammans kan vi göra mer
En värld, ett folk där hjärtan slår som ett
Kämpar vi tillsammans även om det inte är lätt
Jag skriker ut mina frustrationer,
Världen verkar blunda för situationen.
Men mitt hjärta slår för friheten
Och jag vet att du är medveten
Gör något, jag sa gör något
Visa dina handlingar För folket i Gaza
Gör något, jag sa gör något
Visa dina handlingar För folket i Gaza
GAZA غزة المجد – ASAT
War
All I see is war
In this world
(x2)
They’ve tried to victimize themselves
They said the 7 was an act of hate
They started bombing everywhere
They claimed it was an act of self defense
Our governors turned their faces
They brainwashed us
For years
People are seeing what’s happening
And they realize it’s time to change
GAZA
WILL BE FREE
CAN’T YOU SEE
GAZA
WILL BE FREE
YOU WILL SEE
The children are dying
Their people are crying
There’s no place to hide
They just want to take your land
They send tanks to kill you
They bomb all your houses
And if that doesn’t work
They’ll just kill all your chances
You’re tired, nowhere to run
Nowhere to go
Keep fighting
We’ve got you from here
I promise they’ll be gone
GAZA
WILL BE FREE
CAN’T YOU SEE
GAZA
WILL BE FREE
YOU WILL SEE
War
All I see is war
In this world
War
Isn’t enough
There’s plenty of hypocrites in this world
Stand with the ones that suffer and have been suffering for years
It’s time to make a change for once and all
Don’t let them control you anymore
I Don’t Wanna (Watch the World Burn)- BAQ
I don’t wanna go to Target
If the check out line’s too long
I don’t wanna say you’re right
I don’t wanna say I’m wrong
But every night
I lie awake
Aching bones
All about to break
I don’t wanna
Be alive
If that means you
Have to die
I don’t wanna
Watch the world burn
Cuz I don’t wanna
Listen to it scream
Spread the ashes, pay your taxes
What else can you do?
I don’t wanna waste my time
Knowing I’m not gonna win
Every day I wake up
I just wanna peel off all my skin
I don’t wanna tip a driver
I don’t wanna die
Pick a smaller, bluer fire
Get burned every time
…is something burning?
I don’t wanna
Watch the world burn
I don’t wanna
Listen to it scream
Spread the ashes, pay your taxes,
What else can you do?
How many people have I
Brought to an end? Will I
Be left for dead? What if I
Go to sleep and never wake?
How many children have I
Paid for their coffin? Will I
Shut up more often? Will I
Pay for every life I take?
I don’t wanna
Watch the world burn
Cuz I don’t think we’ll
Make it out in time
So are you gonna
Watch the world burn?
Are you gonna
Listen to it scream?
Please, please don’t make me
Burn the world down
Cuz I can’t afford to
Pay for all these graves
Can you smell the
World is burning
Can’t you hear the
M*****f**** screams?
I don’t wanna go to Target
If the check out line’s too long
If – The Mes
(Music: Steen Madsen, Lyrics: Erik Herss)
They’re the good guys, so they say
Starting wars that always pay
They keep killing for the peace
But the bombing never cease
If it could be
Like it should be
Then it would be
Like it should
If it would be
Like it should be
Then it could be
Like it should
War is terror, war’s a crime
Shaking hands should be the prime
Peaceful living is the way
We don’t need to go astray
War is terror, peace a must
We want leaders we can trust
Every stranger is a friend
Love’s the answer in the end
Leve Palestina (Long live Palestine) – Vendetta
(“Tal” – Olof Palme)
Ey, mohammed 9 år fäller en tår
Hans lillasyster svälter hungern fortsätter på
Hela staden bombades igår och han ser bara spår
Av döda kroppar, blod och förlorade unga år
Och Sverige fortsätter på, ger vapen
Sen när allt händer, vem klandrar vi då?
Ser bara falska leenden, och en falsk tår
För en vit död, men svartskallar dör varjedag
Varje månad varje år, den här går långt tillbaks
Till kolonisations tidernas knas
Hur västvärlden stal, deras kapital idag
Byggdes ovanpå våra dödade barn
Och Gaza har snart, ingen stad kvar
2 miljoner människor hälften var barn
Titta denna värld den e så fakkin sjuk
Hoppas på mörkets slut för vi behöver ljus,
Yeah-ey
[Refräng]
(Leve Palestina – Kofia sample)
(Länge Leve Palestina – Demostration sample)
Hela Mellanöstern måste skina
Så säg Free free Palestina
(Leve Palestina)
(Musik)
Ställ er upp!
Ingen är fri förens alla är fria
Så säg free free Palestina
[Vers 2]
Denna världen blir mer kall
Så dags för frihet överallt
Väst säger Israel har rätt till försvar
Men glömde mosqeen dem attackera på ramadan
Mannen jag är van, broder jag är van
Hur media förvränger vrider bilden varjedag
För du vet vad dem gör, bombar hela världens hörn
Men ingen bryr sig om USA gör
För hollywood säljer alla lögnerna som smör
Så folk tittar på utan att fråga vad dem gör
England skapa Israel och står utan gloria
Etnisk rensning nu upprepas historia
Som när amerikanen döda indianen
Israel bombar mestadels barnen
Vissa undrar vem ska man tro?
Men dem Bombar ju sjukhus och skolor
(Oooh oh)
[Refräng]
[Del 3]
Land till land, kvarstår fascismen
Hand i hand, med imperialismen
Säljer guns, tjänar kapitalismen
Baxxar från urfolk i hela världen
(x2)
[Avslut]
Lyssna sluta överdriva
Du ger förklaringar att barn avlivas
Hur kan vi inte stå här, sida vid sida?
För ett fritt folk säg fri palestina
[Refräng]
Marhaba – 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
Palestine – Snayper
(Arabic poetry about Palestine before verse 1)
[Verse 1]
Got a lot of things on my mind
Big dreams ahead so am always on my grind
Trapping all day and rapping all night
Messing with my crew (Palestine) and I be ready to fight
I’m a young bull like you freaking see
Fools trying to imitate but they can’t be
The D to the O to the N that’s me
Gaza boy and I be running these streets
Screaming Falastin until my people are free
United we stand for the olive tree
From Haifa to Yaffa to Urshalim (Jerusalem)
Al-Quds in Arabic you know the real deal
And like a storm, we will come and make you feel
For what you stole and for what you plan to steal
The food, the clothes, nothing about you is real
You better be ready because the end is near
(Arabic poetry about Palestine before verse 2)
[Verse 2 in Arabic, English translation below]
Oh my country, my love for you is from the heart
Since a young age, you run through my blood
So don’t give up, God is with you
And your victory is coming
In the hands of your people
Like Isa the son of Mary and his companions in the end
Peace will be brought all over the land
The land of peace, the land of sacrifice
You are beautiful, my country, you are beautiful
From your tiny villages to your big cities
And I’m telling you that we will return one
day
With knowledge and resistance to build you
I will give my life to see you flourish once again
Oh my homeland, oh my mother Palestine
(Arabic poetry about Palestine to end)

The IDF get the best jets, endless budgets
Yet the threat they detest is the eyes of the public
Press vests, a helmet and a camera in hand
Even then they get requests to get their Instagram banned
Bear witness online in such impossible times
Using Instagram Live just to document crimes
Press conferences in English held by kids
Begging Western politicians just to let them live
Imagine what it’s like living life through this strife
As the US keeps its grip on the UN tight
And every ten minutes a kid’ll lose our life
So don’t you dare lecture us about human rights
They’re going through hell but they just keep on going
Every day is the worst day, the stress of never knowing
They’ve seen the seventh circle but still they rise

Conditioning with lies, the villains are in disguise
They’re killing them from the skies, the figures begin to rise
We listen to children cry, the innocence in their eyes
Villages pulverised, they witness their siblings die
Living in their mind, the images on rewind
Yet somehow they seem to find the willingness to survive
As politicians are blind, they kill them but never mind
Ceasefire declined, this is genocide defined
Heroes who never asked to be
Living through a catastrophe
Each day a disaster scene
Screaming at us like “Can’t you see?”
All they get is apathy and bombs dropping rapidly
Big Tech on a cancel spree, but all it takes is to plant the seed
Shit could change drastically, change up how you act and feel
Find flaws in the fallacies and stand up for humanity
They told us they were safe zones, go there next
But where the fuck should they go when there’s nowhere left?

Song Not allowed to be sung – Artist Not allowed to compete
This artist is missing from FalastinVision.
Due to the silencing and threats on outspoken voices of artistic and cultural resistance this artist was forced to withdraw. This time it was an artist from occupied Palestine and the disappearance of their content is just one example of the systematic silencing of artists and activist all around the world.
FalastinVision is a platform and a voice for the struggle. By supporting FalastinVision you are one of us. This page is a tribute to all artists in the struggle, together we vow to never be quiet.
Star of Bethlehem – Betelgeuse
The star of Bethlehem shines bright in the night
Burns bright in my mind
Shines bright on the fabric
Of the dress that carries through everything.
Black fabric as the backdrop of beauty,
History I can touch on my fingertips,
Cypress trees on the hills,
All these wonderful things,
You’ll never erase…
Passed down from ages,
Mother from daughter to
daughter to
daughter
ooohooh.
Red, white, black, green
thread
One stitch,
One stitch,
One last stitch,
Sewed on through the years.
Jaffa,
and Haifa,
and Akka
and Gaza
The symbols they change
Colours they stay.
The star of Bethlehem shines bright in the night
Burns bright in my mind
Shines bright on the fabric
Of the dress that carries through everything.
Jaffa,

and Gaza
The symbols they change
Colours they stay
Red, white, black, green
thread
One stitch,
One stitch,
One last stitch,
Sewed on through the years.
The star of Bethlehem…
You’ll never erase!
Steadfast – Half Light
In cries of freedom, the world unites
But western leaders
Well, their silence speaks for itself
In envy of… Palestine
Where even children
Got more courage
Than all of them combined
Till the pain
Goes away
We will remain
Steadfast
In unity
Revolution’s close
Within our reach
So raise your voice
Let the truth be heard
Cause there’s a reason
The doctors sing
And there’s a reason
The news gets out
For even if
There’s no one left
To bury us
We’ll never leave
Each day, the mask slips a little more
And it won’t be long now
Till Palestine is free
And they can try to stop it
Send their bombs and guns and drones and hate
And they can raise their bloody hands
For Gaza will veto death itself
Till the pain
Goes away
We will remain
Steadfast
In unity
Revolution’s close
Within our reach
So raise your voice
Let the truth be heard
Cause there’s a reason
The doctors sing
And there’s a reason
The news gets out
For even if
There’s no one left
To bury us
We’ll never leave
Stop the War – Elske & The Vagabonds
[A1]
We’re thousands of miles away
We see you through a screen
Running in the bullet rain
We hear how the children cry
We will not look away
Let’s raise our voices loud and high
[B1]
We must stop the war
Find the way how
We must stop the war, right now
We must stop the war
Make it disappear
We must stop the war, right here
[A2]
The news are not getting better
We can’t reach you anymore
Silence in the rubble
The flares in the night sky
Show humanity’s darkness
Let’s raise our voices loud and high
[B2]
We must stop the war
Find the way how
We must stop the war, right now
We must stop the war
Make it disappear
We must stop the war, right here!
[B3]
We must stop war
Find the way how
We must stop the war, right here
We must stop the war
Make it disappear
We must stop the war, right here!
We must stop the war
Find the way how
we must stop the war, right now!
We must stop the war
Make it disappear
We must stop the war, right here.
The Mothers Pray – Ellen Upstairs
Who combed your hair?
Tied it into pigtails
Essence of the soul
Giggles and games
earring found in ruins
Reem, nevermore
Who was the last to hear your soul screaming
When did your voice give up
Mother, oh mother,
Who could ask you to endure this?
Their hands are drenched in Children’s blood
The mothers pray:
God, If peace won’t come
Kill us quickly
Fast asleep
Let us die with our arms
Wrapped around our sons
Let our daughters
Die in peace
May our stories live on
May our keys bring us home
Let the olive trees grow, become part of our bodies
If I must die
You must live
How many Reems
Are buried under rubble
Essence of the soul
How many more?
Til a deaf world starts hearing
Our hands are drenched in Children’s blood
The mothers pray:
God, If peace won’t come
Kill us quickly
Fast asleep
Let us die with our arms
Wrapped around our sons
Let our daughters
Die in peace
May our stories live on
May our keys bring us home
Let the olive trees grow, become part of our bodies
If I must die
You must live
You look away
Give yourself a mental break
Do you feel sorry for yourself?
It seems you’ve lost your spine
Somewhere far down the line
Between justifications, and swallowing lies
The mothers pray:
God, If peace won’t come
Kill us quickly
Let us die with our arms
Wrapped around our sons
Let our daughters
Die in peace
May our stories live on
May our keys bring us home
Let the olive trees grow, become part of our bodies
If I must die
You must live
They Are Human – JC BIGFOOT ft. EMA
[Verse 1]
Think of the children orphaned in Gaza
Forced to grow up without a mother and a father
Been forgotten by
The propaganda
Telling you an Israeli life is important, but a Palestinian’s doesn’t matter
That Israelis are killed but Palestinians died from a natural disaster
But this isn’t true, it’s fake news
They do matter
That’s someone’s father, mother
Someone’s son and someone’s daughter
There not just merely a number
But they have been dehumanised
The TV telling you a Palestinian’s life doesn’t equal an Israeli life
But don’t be fooled by all these media lies
It’s all to deflect from our government’s war crimes
Air strike after air strike
But they can’t hide
They’re committing slaughter right in front of our eyes documented online worldwide
And genocidal Joe, how many more have to die
Before you stop funding this genocide
[Chorus]
They are human
Why can’t you see
They are human
Just like you and me
They are human
With hopes and dreams
Ripped away by colonial greed
They are human (x2)
With so much to give
So let every Palestinian live
[Verse 2]
They are the professors, the doctors
The construction workers
They are the courageous nurses
The medics
The surgeons operating without anaesthetic
The academics
The poets, the singers, the dabke dancers
The weavers
Making your keffiyehs, the chefs
The heroic journalists risking their lives to bring you the evidence
They are
The talented artists
All dealing with the most unimaginable of hardships
They are the activists standing up against 75 years of injustice
So we must keep sharing
Never stop caring
Keep campaigning until there is fairness
And until they have some happiness
[Chorus 2]
They are human
Why can’t you see
They are human
Just like you and me
They are human
With hopes and dreams
Ripped away by colonial greed
They are human (x2)
With so much to give
So let every Palestinian live
[Verse 3]
They are some of the most resilient people that I have ever met
With such unbelievable
Strength
So
If you are still sitting on the fence
Try seeing things through a Palestinians lens
What if it was your family, what if it was your friends
Would you not do all you could
To bring this an end (x2)
[Chorus]
They are human
Why can’t you see
They are human
Just like you and me
They are human
With hopes and dreams
Ripped away by colonial greed
They are human (x2)
With so much to give
So let every Palestinian
Toivo (Hope) – Kirsikka
(Säveltänyt ja sanoittanut Kirsikka Manninen, 2024)
Toisinaan mä katson huolissaan miten ihminen tuhoo omaa kotiaan.
Missä mentiin me harhaan, kun tuotiin tuho Getsemanen puutarhaan?
Toisinaan mä vuodatan kyyneleen sille tunteelle, että oon vaan liian heikko ihminen.
Voinko sanojen avulla luoda uutta mailmaa? Voinko kynällä piirtää rauhankyyhkysen?
Please, ethän sano mulle se on kaikki turhaa? Sillä toivoa täytyy pienen ihmisen.
Toisinaan mua alkaa ahdistaa että ahneudesta täällä palkitaan.
Sanat ei riitä miten julmaa, kun ei estetä yhtään kansanmurhaa.
Uudestaan mä alan pohtimaan, ihan tosissaan, onko ihmisyyttä olemassakaan?
Voinko sanojen avulla luoda uutta mailmaa? Voinko kynällä piirtää rauhankyyhkysen?
Please, ethän sano mulle se on kaikki turhaa? Sillä toivoa täytyy pienen ihmisen.
Sillä toivoa täytyy, toivoa täytyy…
Sillä toivoa täytyy, toivoa täytyy…
Please, ethän sano mulle se on kaikki turhaa? Sillä toivoa täytyy pienen ihmisen.
Hope
(Composed and written by Kirsikka Manninen, 2024)
Sometimes I watch worriedly how humans destroy their own home.
Where did we go wrong when we destroyed the Garden of Gethsemane?
Sometimes, I shed a tear because I feel that I’m just too weak.
Can I create a new world with words? Can I draw a peace dove with a pen? Please, don’t tell me it’s all pointless. Because hope is necessary for a little human.
Sometimes I start to feel anxious that greed is rewarded here.
Words are not enough to express how cruel it is when no genocide is prevented.
Again, I start seriously pondering, is humanity even real?
Can I create a new world with words? Can I draw a peace dove with a pen? Please, don’t tell me it’s all pointless. Because hope is necessary for a little human.
Because hope is necessary, hope is necessary…
Because hope is necessary, hope is necessary…
Please, don’t tell me it’s all pointless. Because hope is necessary for a little human.
Túnicas blancas – Duo Pepe och Mary
Ven aquí, duérmete,
canta conmigo mi canción
Túnicas blancas te cubrirán,
ven a mis brazos a descansar.
Sueña con flores en primavera,
con mariposas de mil colores.
No mires hacia arriba,
no escuches, es el viento.
Ya tus ojitos caen de sueño,
duerme tranquilo, te cuidaré.
No tendras frío, niño mío,
que la manana pronto vendrá.
Entre las aguas, entre los ríos,
con el desierto caminarás.
El sol candente te abrazará,
duérmete pronto y soñarás.
Miro tus ojos, plenos de sueño,
seco tus lágrimas, lluvia de fuego.
Sueña mi niño en un mañana,
que la esperanza llega temprana.
Entre las aguas, entre los ríos
Con el desierto caminarás
El sol candente te abrazará
Duérmete pronto y soñarás.
White Tunics
Come here, slumber
Sing with me my song
White tunics will cover you
Come to my arms and rest
Dream about flowers in spring
About colorful butterflies
Do not look up,
Don’t listen, it’s the wind
Your sleepy eyes are already closing
Sleep in peace, I’ll take care of you
Don’t be cold, child of mine
Soon the morning will come
Between the waters, between the river
With the desert, you will walk
The warm sun will embrace you
Sleep soon so you can dream
I see your eyes, full of sleep
I wipe your tears, rain of fire
Dream my child, of a tomorrow
For the hope rises with the dawn
Between the waters, between the river
With the desert, you will walk
The warm sun will embrace you
Sleep soon so you can dream
Vita tunikor
Kom hit, sov,
sjung med mig min sång.
Vita tunikor täcker dig
kom till mina armar för att vila.
Dröm om vårblommorna,
om färgglada fjärilar.
Titta inte uppåt,
lyssna inte, det är vinden.
Dina små ögon faller av sömn,
sov gott, jag tar hand om dig.
Du skall inte frysa, mitt barn,
morgonen är snart här.
Mellan vattnen, mellan floden,
i öknen skall du gå.
Den varma solen omfamnar dig,
sov så du kan drömma.
Jag ser dina ögon, fulla av sömn,
jag torkar dina tårar, eldregn.
Dröm mitt barn om en morgondag,
om hoppet som tidigt kommer.
Mellan vattnen, mellan floden,
i öknen skall du gå.
Den varma solen omfamnar dig,
sov och dröm dig bort.
Tårar faller (Tears are Falling) – Mary Ndiaye
(Text och musik: Mary Ndiaye, Mattias Frändå, Johan
Åsgärde, Memo Crescendo)
[Vers 1]
Jag ser mig runt på gatan, känner nånting vakna djupt inom mig. Jag läser vad de skriver,
gårdagens rubriker, angår det mig?
Tänk om det var jag, tänk om det var jag, tänk om det var jag.
På andra sidan jorden ekar alla ropen är det nån som hör? Jag kan inte blunda och jag
börjar undra vad är det vi gör?
Tänk om det var jag , tänk om det var jag, tänk om det var jag.
[Ref]
Tårar faller. Världen glömmer hur barnen väcks av bomber. Tänk om det var jag. Tänk om
det var jag. Tänk om det var jag. Tänk om det var du tänk om det var vi.
[Vers 2]
Vägrar acceptera, varför tolerera det vi vet är fel? Inga tomma löften, dags att höja rösten,
göra våran del. Att vi väljer att stå tysta, är det samma som ett ja.
Ref
Tårar faller och världen glömmer hur barnen väcks av bomber. Tänk om det var jag, tänk om
det var jag, tänk om det var jag. Tänk om det var du, tänk om det var vi, kunde varit jag.
[Outro]
Dags att säga nej, Dags att säga nej.
Tänk om det var jag, tänk om det var jag, nej!
Nej, nej!
Tänk om det var jag, tänk om det var jag, nej!
English Translation
[Verse 1]
I look around the street and feel something awakening from deep inside of me. I read what they are writing, yesterday’s headlines, does it concern me?
Imagine it was me, imagine it was me, imagine it was me?
From the other side of the world the cries echo, does anyone hear? I can’t close my eyes and I’m starting to wonder what are we doing here?
Imagine it was me, imagine it was me, imagine it was me?
[Chorus]
Tears are falling. The world is ignoring how children are woken up by bombs. Imagine it was me. Imagine it was me. Imagine it was me. Imagine it was you, imagine it were us.
[Verse 2]
Refuse to accept this, why tolerate what we know is wrong? No more empty promises, time to raise our voices, and do our part. Us choosing to remain silent is the same as saying it’s okay.
[Chorus]
Tears are falling. And the world is ignoring how children are woken up by bombs. Imagine it was me. Imagine it was me. Imagine it was me. Imagine it was you, imagine it were us.
Could have been me
[Outro]
Time to say no, Time to say no.
Imagine it was me, imagine it was me, no!
No, no!
Imagine it was me, imagine it was me, no!
Until The End ft. Ruffian Rugged – Nadia Sadok
[Intro]
(Angela Davis:) “At a challenging moment in our history, let us remind ourselves that
we the hundreds of thousands, the millions of women, trans people, men and
youth who are here at the Women’s March, we represent the powerful forces of change that are determined to prevent the dying cultures of racism, hetero-
patriarchy from rising again.”
[Verse 1]
You set the world on fire
And plugged us into wires
How long will you hold us down?
Everybody with talent got stuck underground
‘Cause we won’t live forever
So get your shit together
We’ve got way bigger problems
We don’t wanna die, starting at the bottom
[Chorus]
You keep lyin’, you keep lyin’ to yourself
If you ever thought that you need anybody else
They be tryin’ to mess with our heads
But we will fight until the end
You keep lyin’, you keep lyin’ to yourself
‘Cause your mind ripped like the flyer on the shelf
I am tryin’, I’m on fire but I’m tense
We will fight until the end
[Verse 2]
I will fight ’til the end,
I got my right to defend
If I had wings I could fly,
But we die on the fence
A hungry mob is an angry mob,
These are hunger games
We want a change
Got sidetracked, stuck, and framed
You ain’t superior
You ain’t the people
And we ain’t illegal
Between shades of evil
Raise no demon, stay pangean
Stop torturing one another now
What’s power to the people if we’re running out of water
[Chorus]
You keep lyin’, you keep lyin’ to yourself
If you ever thought that you need anybody else
They be tryin’ to mess with our heads
But we will fight until the end
You keep lyin’, you keep lyin’ to yourself
‘Cause your mind ripped like the flyer on the shelf
I am tryin’, I’m on fire but I’m tense
We will fight until the end
[Verse 3]
I will fight till di end fi di lie whe dem tell, reunite any gang
Inna di night with a skeng there, ’cause I shall revenge, ’cause di life a means hell
A hungry mob is an angry mob, well these are hunger games
Gonna riot ’cause we want a change, but anytime we reproduce di same damn
mistakes
Ev’ry man fi himself, and ev’ry girl fi herself
Dem waan dash weh di water outta di well, but economy monopoly a dash weh
our wealth
Dash weh our health care, dash weh our wealth care, hop inna di Bentley don’t
give us help, blame refugee camps deh, fuck you, righteous a stand up and stand clear
[Outro]
(Angela Davis:) “Those who still defend the supremacy of white male hetero-
patriarchy had better watch out. Resistance on the ground, resistance in the
classrooms, resistance on the job, resistance in our art and in our music. This is
just the beginning and in the words of the inimitable Ella Baker: ‘We who believe in
freedom cannot rest until it comes.”
Visa till Palestina (A song for Palestine) – Johanna Kroon
Det finns en visa jag ej vill sjunga, och denna visa ska jag sjunga nu.
Och dessa ord önskar jag betunga, er som bär skygglappar ännu.
Er tystad om det som sker i Gaza, ska vi påminna er om gång på gång.
Men vi är många som ser med fasa, Palestina ni har min sång.
Jag har en fråga till vår regering, är Palestinska liv för er nått värt.
Var god att blicka tillbaks i tiden, jag undrar har ni inte mera lärt?
Hur kan man samvetslöst ej hårt fördöma. Stå upp för barnens rätt till fred och lek?
Framtiden ska aldrig er tystnad glömma, nej den ska minnas ett ohyggligt svek.
En visa kan inga krig förhindra. Och inga toner kan rädda liv.
Men kanske kan det om möjligt lindra, och ge oss kamplust i en nattsvart tid.
För Palestinska barn och deras fäder, för deras mödrar och för deras land.
Vi demonstrerar högt i alla väder. Och sträcker solidaritetens hand.
A song for Palestine
There is one song I don’t want to sing, and this song I will sing now
And I wish these words will be burdensome, for those who still wear blinders
Your silence about what’s happening in Gaza, we will remind you again and again
Many of us watch in horror, Palestine you have my song
I have a question for our government, are Palestinian lives worth anything to you
Please look back in time, I wonder, haven’t you learned more?
How can one unscrupulously not harshly condemn. Stand up for the children’s right to peace and play
The future will never forget your silence, no it will remember a hideous betrayal
A song cannot prevent any wars. And no notes can save lives
But maybe it can, if possible, alleviate, and give us fighting spirit in a dark time
For Palestinian children and their fathers, for their mothers and for their country
We’re speak up loudly in all weathers. And extends the hand of solidarity
Wake up, ….the Devil is at your door – Mondegreen Bees
(Song opens with sound of house keys being shaken – a symbol in Palestine)
Wake up, wake up, the Devil is at your door,
Wake up, wake up, the Devil’s coming back for more,
Now he’s making his plans, while he’s stealing your lands, like before.
He push you aside, the World Police by his side, like cheap whores.
Wake up, wake up, the Devil shoot you down again,
Wake up, wake up, the Devil gets the guns from his friends,
Yeah, the Stars and Stripes of David are there to be seen,
The silence of politicians, blatantly SCREAMS
Wake up, wake up, the Devil burn the hospital bed,
Wake up, wake up, he shoots the people that just want to be fed,
And he blames all his woes, on people that hide in the ground,
And he answers them all, by shooting women and children down.
Wake up, wake up, the world starts to see your face,
Wake up, wake up, your children gotta live with disgrace,
See the time is coming, the tide is turning now,
And we’re putting the Devil, down in a hole in the ground.
Wake up, wake up, wake up before it’s too late.
When I Burned – EVDO
[Verse 1]
I step on the glass, the world beneath my feet, There’s a flame in my heart that burns bridges. Don’t look for the good in me, I’m like a storm, a winter whirlwind, The bitch game is my life costume.
[Chorus]
When I burned, I made a new light, Rising from the ashes like a phoenix, renewed. Self-centered, yeah, I’m at the center of the universe, My self is the law that rules the ball.
[Verse 2]
Like a catharsis, I let go of the past, What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger. I’m the queen of my own world Power and passion are my faithful companions.
[Chorus]
When I burned, I made a new light, Rising from the ashes like a phoenix, renewed. Self-centered, yes, I’m at the center of the universe, My self is the law that rules the ball.
[Bridge]
They say I’m too narcissistic But I only love myself, and that’s my strength. I choose my path, and let it be a fiery one, Cause I’m the flame that won’t go out (o-a-o). When I burned, you won’t go out.
[Chorus]
When I burned, I made a new light Rising from the ashes like a phoenix, renewed. Self-centered, yes, I’m at the center of the universe, My self is the law that rules the ball.
[Bridge]
They say I’m too narcissistic But I only love myself, and that’s my strength. I choose my path, and let it be a fiery one.
Women’s Song for Gaza – Emma Ringqvist
We anchored up and sailed out from the shore of Spain
On our boat Zeytuna Olive, that’s her name
And olive is the symbol of a far away place
To which we steer our course across the waves
We are thirteen women here to sail with peace in our hands
Towards our sisters in this foreign land
From many different corners of this world we have come
To bring to you the freedom of a song
[Chorus]
We will sail for your freedom, our sisters in Palestine
We will never be silent until you are free
We are guided by the light of the stars at night
And the power of the sea so very bright
As the world is watching us we bring our women’s voice
With a message that we all should have a choice
Your grandmothers they planted olive trees
Upon this land were you should live in peace
Those trees of a thousand years they have been dug away
May your daughters plant new seeds and watch them stay
[Chorus]
We will sail for your freedom, our sisters in Palestine
We will never be silent until you are free (x2)
