Lyrics: 

(english below) 

الطير 

عبشوف من فوق الطير 
عبلاد مليانة خير 
بس ما قدرت شوف حدود 
و اني السما بس غيوم 

بالهجرة محكوم الطير 
عالبحر بالارض و بالليل 
جناحو من البرد مكسور 
و صوتو يا دوب مسموع 

فجأة طلعت الشمس 
و قلي الطير 
الحرية ثمنها الويل 
ثمنها غربة الويل 

حاولت خبرو للطير 
عن الحدود طول الليل 
بس ما فهم شو يعني حدود 
و كيف منقسم بلاد بخطوط 

فيقني بس نوصل يا طير 
بالسلام و الحب عالبيت 
حوالينا اتجمع طيور 
حملونا عالأمل نعود 

فجأة غربت الشمس 
نام بخير 
عالسلام تصبح يا طير 
تصبح يا طير 


The Bird 

I have a bird’s eye view 
Of a land filled with bounty 
But I couldn’t see any borders 
Nor any darkening clouds in the sky 

The bird is sentenced to migrate 
Over seas, over land, and at night 
His wing flaps brokenly from the cold 
And his voice is barely heard 

Suddenly the sun rose 
And the bird said to me 
The price of freedom is exile 
Its price is exile 

I tried to tell the bird 
About borders all night long 
But he couldn’t understand what borders mean 
Nor how we divide lands with lines 

Wake me when we arrive, oh bird, 
At our home, with peace and love 
All around birds flocked to us 
And carried us in the hope we’d return 

Suddenly the sun had set 
Sleep well 
Wake up to peace, oh bird, 
To peace, bird

Al Tayr | الطير

Madar (literally an ‘Orbit’) is a group of five musicians from the Netherlands, Palestine, Jordan and Tunisia. With genuine curiosity for and understanding of each other’s musical language, they have come together with the purpose of creating something new, built on a deeply shared respect for the qualities of their various musical worlds.

Acamar, from the Arabic Ākhir an-nahr meaning "the end of the river", is a star located in the constellation Eridanus, variously associated by ancient astronomers with rivers across the Mediterranean and Middle East, including the Nile, Po and Euphrates. The music in this album is inspired by the classical civilizations of Mesopotamia and the Mediterranean which relied in daily life on an understanding of the cosmos.
