Procession - A Humanitarian Song Project

This song was born out of the desire to raise our voices and contribute to vital humanitarian aid in Gaza and Westbank. 

We are a collective of musicians from 6 different countries, united by our commitment to stand up for human rights by creating music that can reach, and open the hearts of those who listen.

Procession - A Song for Hope - is our first collaboration and is dedicated to support the Palestinian population in their struggle for survival amidst the current humanitarian catastrophe. Our hope and ambition is that this lullaby will resonate with and amplify the voices of those in need.
The three sets of lyrics — one in English and two in Arabic — focus on the indisputable fact that we are all part of the same humanity, emphasising that we are all born equal and deserving of dignity, love and compassion. 

We, as individuals and as a group, unequivocally condemn any acts of violence and measures of oppression that violate the Charter of Human Rights — whoever the aggressor, and no matter what reason is used to justify them.

Lyrics

نامي يا عين إبراهيم - Sleep, oh eye of Ibrahim,
عينه ملانة نوم - His eyes are full of sleep,
تا تخلص عالحرب - Till the war ends,
و بعدها السلام يدوم - And then peace will last.

نامي يا عين تي - Sleep, oh eye of Tai,
عينه ملانة نوم - His eyes are full of sleep,
بكرا بتخلص الحرب - Tomorrow the war will end,
و بنزرع شجر و نسقيه مي - And we'll plant trees and water them.

نامي يا عين ياسمين - Sleep, oh eye of Yasmin,
عينها ملانة نوم - His eyes are full of sleep,
بكرا بتخلص الحرب - Tomorrow the war will end,
و بيضحكوا عيون الحلوين - And the eyes of the beautiful people will laugh.

نامي يا عين الهام - Sleep, oh eye of Elham,
عينها ملانة نوم - His eyes are full of sleep,
بكرا بتخلص الحرب - Tomorrow the war will end,
وبيرجع بيرف الحمام - And the pigeons will fly again.
(Nemat Battah)

Now we walk half-seen in the candlelight,
Yes, we are more than one, yet our voice is weak,
our heartbeat’s gone,
this is our quiet march.

All from the east to west,
Mothers sing their songs to their little ones
As once I sang to mine

Sing out, so may your voices reach Eliah and Tai.
All children everywhere on earth need their lullabies

From each home we pass I hear lullabies,
All from the east to west,
Mothers sing their songs to their little ones
as once I sang to mine.
Sing out, so may your voices reach Yasmin, Elham and Mai.
All children everywhere on earth need their lullabies

All children everywhere on earth need their lullabies.
(Ana Pilat)

علي وعدي يا أمي بالسلام - On my word and my promise, Mother, I bring peace
والحب قلبي - And love fills my heart
سامع صوت غناكي - I hear your song
حاضر أو غايب - Whether I am present or absent

سامحيني يا أمي لو نسيت - Forgive me, Mother, if I forget
او تهت عنك - Or if I lose my way from you
ترجع روح ترابك - The spirit of your soil will bring me back
تهديني للحبايب - And guide me to my loved ones

ورودك من دمي - Your flowers bloom from my blood
ومنك بدينا - And from you, we began
و ليكي نعود - To you, we return
وانت كل كلي و كل شئ - You are my everything and all that I am
ليكي تايب - I repent to you
(Wael Sami Elkholy)
