Cheft El Khof - Orange Blossom

Because of misery, I’ve seen people suffer

Lose their lands and their rights

Lose their houses and their children

With no strength left to

Hold their head up again

Here or there

I’ve realised that people

Were taken advantage

By using their blood

While the mothers swore

Theirs was the same

Because of that misery, I’ve seen people suffer

Lose their houses and their children

Their lands and their rights

I’ve seen fear and doubt

Settle in their hearts

With malaise by my side

However, there I found myself

Alone and powerless in that world

With only my eyes to see and my heart no longer able to cry

And some night, there was so much pain around

That sadness took my heart away

And would not give it back

With no strength left to

Hold their head up again
