A truly beautiful song for Palestine titled ‘Naci en Palestina’ by Tunisian singer Emel Mathlouthi, known as the voice of the Tunisian Arab Spring:
She said, “It’s a song derived from the Spanish “Naci en Alamo,” a lament of loss of home, of basic human rights, that I adapted to pay homage to the brave Palestinians, who for decades have endured every kind of deprivation while the world powers only look on from a one-sided stance.
“I hope to one day be able to play it in a free Palestine.”
Naci en Palestina
I have no place
I have no landscape
I have no homeland
With my finger I make fire
and with my heart I sing for you
my heart strings weep
I was born in Palestine
I was born in Palestine
I have no place
I have no landscape
I have no homeland
I have no place
I have no now
I have no country
With my finger I make fire
and with my heart I sing for you
my heart strings weep
I was born in Palestine
I was born in Palestine
I have no place
I have no now
I have no homeland
