Iwan Fals _ Adalah (album raya)

Iwan Fals - Kontrasmu Bisu ( Original Song ) By. Kacrut_Hebring

Iwan Fals - Palestina

Palestina, bukan soal agama
Ini hanya soal tanah semata, siapa yang tak ingin merdeka

Anak suci pulang, dipelukan orang tuanya
Wajahnya masih tersenyum, dibawa lari orang orang dijalanan

Gaza Gaza Gaza Panggung setan paling tega
Gaza Gaza Gaza Tank dilempar batu, perempuan kecil pukul serdadu
Jet tempur diketapel dan bom bom hari hari

Orang pamer kuasa, atas nama apa saja
Intifadah - dengan polosnya menasehati dunia

Cukong cukong senjata pesta pesta, tari perut gahwa dan sisha
Dibawah purnama padang pasir yang anyir

Palestina - saudaraku di Gaza
Bertanya pada bangsa bangsa yang bego, tak ada guna percuma saja

Oh dunia, ini air mata
Sejak jaman nabi nabi hingga kini
Bagai air suci yang memancar tak henti hentu
Oh dunia ini airmata
Sejak jaman sebelum Adam diusir surga
Sebagai persembahan sejarah umat manusia yang lemah

Palestina, bisa jadi soal agama
Hanya karena tanah semata, bagi yang ingin merdeka

Iwan Fals - Palestina

  Josh had the idea for doing a traditional Palestinian song, as he is an avid fan of their music. He wanted to raise awareness of this music and everyone in the band was immediately on board with this idea, and set about to make it happen. 
  Mark, who is an expert percussionist, learned a basic traditional Palestinian drum pattern, in a very authentic fashion. He laid it down, along with an Arabic sounding modal melody line portrayed by the quanun, which is a kind of zither. Josh found this pattern fascinating, and added his five string fretless bass to the it shortly after. Carl jumped in very shortly thereafter, and came up with some really amazing vocal melodies, as well as wonderfully prescient lyrics. He even learned more than several phrases in Arabic, which he sang in there, too. We were all very impressed by this, of course.
  JJ was next up, adding his magical, melodic, and exotic saz, shakuhachi, and synth to the mix. Ken threw in next, adding his perfectly timed brass and Chinese percussion to the mix, too. Last, but certainly not least, Stephen recorded his subtle, exotic, traditional sitar to the piece. 
  Once we had it all recorded, we turned it over to Mark for a mix, as the whole thing is really his baby. Stephen mastered it, though, as he is our resident professional producer.
  Our hope is that this song inspires you to dig into Palestinian music, and through that, you recognize the magic and the humanity of millions of Palestinian people who are suffering unimaginably right now. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

From Carl...
Music is our key to permanant peace on planet Earth in my view. If written thoughfully, it is our unimposing tool where we can share our different cultures like EC have done here to celebrate with our Palestinian friends stylistically the light of their music. I don't speak Arabic so I hope I don't offend anyone but I learned the Arabic as best as I could phonetically. It's done with the best of intentions . The eight Arabic lines are famous proverbs and show us how similarly all of our truths evolve from our hearts and souls

Peace and Love to everyone


Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

Sisters and brothers
Daughters and Sons
We would give you food
But the road is blocked to sun
Proud Palestine
Brave brethren
Our hearts are with you
Our souls are weeping

Inhumane blockade of bread
Pains collective minds 
We want gone this dread
Let's find our kind
Please be strong
As we right this wrong
Hope prays that day will not be long

We pine with your God
To find a normal truth
Where your kids can grow and learn good youth
Sisters and Brothers
Daughters and Sons
We are with you Palestine
Sending love through song

The eye sees but the arm is short ( العين ترى والذراع قصيرة )
We are in the same boat ( نحن في نفس القارب )
Winds do not blow as the ships wish ( لا تهب الرياح كما تشاء السفن )
Being alone is better then being with someone bad (أن تكون وحيدا أفضل من أن تكون مع شخص سيء )
What is hidden is more then what has happened ( ما هو مخفي أكثر مما حدث )
Every problem has a solution ( لكل مشكلة حل )
Good intentions count for as much as good actions ( النوايا الحسنة لها نفس أهمية الأفعال الحسنة )
All is well that ends well ( كل شيء على ما يرام إذا انتهى بشكل جيد )
