بهمني بس أنا وياكِ نضل عايشين ..

مش سائلين لا بطائفية ولا بدين ..

كل واحد بحالو ، بس مع بعض ..

زي بعض ، مش زي بعض جماعة اللي بيكرهو بعض ..

I'm not exaggerating but i've been listening to this for 2 days now

فش حدا احسن من حدا وليه ههههههه قتلتني

من عرض "لحالي لبالي" في كباريت- حيفا
Live solo in Kabareet 10.7.17

Lyrics translation
---------------------------
My people and your people, don't seem to get along
but look how you and I have been happy all along
my people and your people don't seem to understand each other
but look how you and I truly do
And we live
not  caring
about any sect or religion
just live..
happily
each in his way
but together
I hear things that make me say I don't..
Don't wanna hear, don't wanna know
enough talking. Don't speak!
Don't speak, defend, don't try
no need I don't even care
I don't care what they say or what they think
I only care for you and me to stay this way
living
with no worries...
about any sect
nor religion
just living..
just happy
each in his own world
but together
together... yeah together
no one is worse no one better
All the same,yeah all alike,
unlike some people who hate each other
looks like my people and your people
are gonna kill each other
if they don't learn from you and me
how they can love one another
my people and your people need a group hug
a hug and clear their hearts
clean their hearts,  problem will be solved
and we'll live

Together- جوان صفدي- جماعتنا وجماعتكو

Palestinian Singer-songwriter and Multi-genre musician. Pioneer of the Free Arabic Rock genre  that was developed along the years with various musicians and bands, the latest being FISHSAMAK. Mostly known for sarcastic and political lyrics often considered provocative, yet he offers much more. Jowan started his career in the late '90s as LENSES releasing three low-fi singer-songwriter experimental albums between 2001-2007. In 2012, he broke through to the wider Arab world audience with the release of his album Namrud, breaking social taboos with songs like “Electricity”, and quirky parody “Poor Infidels” which rapidly became an anthem for fans across the Arab world, and subsequently led to his detention in Jordan for which Jowan was accused of blasphemy. Jowan was also investigated in Israel and accused of inciting violence and terrorism following his performance in a street festival, in which local media misquoted his lyrics, the file was closed for lack of guilt after 2 years of investigations.  
Jowan's lyrics can be controversial– subtly toned with his personal reflections on a wide range of issues related to politics, religion and philosophy, morality and sexuality. These fundamental components are what give his work a rare and revealing authenticity, making him one of the most influential contemporary artists in the Arabic scene. His 2015 controversial summer hit “To Be an Arab” reached to Israeli and International media, with a rock hard message to the racist Israeli society.
