الحريه لعلاء يادوله المتاعيس

I am so lucky and honored to be welcomed by Lebanese artists and activists to collaborate on creating this important and valuable project. Mafi Mafi (Khod) is one of the best teamwork experiences I've had in my life. It all started when the Lebanese revolution unfolded, and I saw the footage of the free people raging in the streets, fighting for their better future. It looked and felt exactly like the revolution in Egypt. I can't explain how proud I was to see the people of Lebanon playing my song El Ars in the streets. I felt so connected to what was happening. And so, I decided to start "Mafi Mafi (Khod)" with a talented group of Lebanese artists working alongside video director Tariq Keblaoui and lyricist Samir Skayni.

In our region we share the same pain. We unite together through art to oppose those in power who oppress us.

Lagl Tentesri (For You To Win) لاجل تنتصرى highlights the resilience and sacrifices of the people in the Egyptian revolution – whether they be martyrs, prisoners, or still carrying on the fight and facing heavy consequences for their actions.
The lyricist, Ahmad Douma, prominent Egyptian activist and revolutionary, is serving a 15 years sentence in Egyptian prisons, and has already spent 11 years of his life imprisoned for standing up for human rights, democracy, and freedom nod speech during the early years of the Egyptian revolution. 
Still, even though facing unjust and brutal treatment in his confinement, Douma resiliently keeps fighting for his cause with his words.
Lagl Tentesri (For You To Win) is a tribute to human rights defenders in Egypt and worldwide – especially for Douma himself.

Lyrics: Alaa Abd El-Fattah
Speeches: Ahmed Seif-al-Islam, Sanaa Seif

The lyrics of the song are adapted from Alaa Abd El-Fattah's words in the article Graffiti for Two (co-written with Ahmed Douma) in Tora prison, Cairo. The article was published in January 2014.

Alaa and Douma are still in prison today.

The speeches heard on the track:
– Alaa Abd El-Fattah's father, Ahmed Seif-al-Islam, who was a human rights activist and lawyer. In the 1970s, Seif was a leader in the student movement. Seif was detained four times, twice during the Sadat era and twice during the Mubarak era. He died in August 2014 while his children Alaa Abd El-Fattah and Sanaa Seif were in prison. (Speech 2014)
– Alaa Abdelfattah's sister, Sanaa Seif, who is relentlessy fighting for her brother to be released. (Speech 2022)

Alaa Abd El-Fattah

Alaa Abd El-Fattah is Egypt’s most prominent political prisoner. He rose to international prominence during the 2011 revolution. As an independent thinker who fuses politics and technology, Alaa’s voice came to symbolize much of what was fresh, inspiring and revolutionary.

Alaa was imprisoned by every government ruling Egypt in his lifetime. He was imprisoned under the Mubarak regime, and again by the Supreme Council of Armed Forces that took over after Mubarak was ousted. He was detained during Morsi’s presidency, then arrested again by the transitional administration that took over after the 2013 coup. That time, Alaa was sentenced to 5 years in prison for organizing a demonstration.

Alaa was released in 2019 after serving his term, then re-arrested 6 months later by the Sisi regime for sharing someone’s Facebook post about prison torture. He was held until December 2021, when he was sentenced to 5 more years in prison for 'spreading false news'.

Alaa's hunger & thirst strike

Alaa has been on hunger strike since April 2nd, 2022. As a dual citizen of Egypt and the UK, he demands his right to a consular visit from the British Embassy. After 7 months surviving on 100 calories a day, no consular access was granted. On November 1st, Alaa escalated his hunger strike to zero calories.

Alaa stopped drinking water on November 6th, the first day of COP27.

Alaa is determined to leave prison one way or another – either alive, or dead.

بحاول ابقى متصوف
 وغصب عني بتمنى
 يموت الهاجس الوارع
 فادوق من الاحمر اللامع .. على الشفة

 واحاول ابقى متفلسف
 واقول عالم راديكالي
 بيصرف ع الردي الغالي
 واضيع ليه في الهوا مالي .. بلهفة

 بحاول ابقى شيء تاني .. وغصب عني بلاقيني انساني

 واحاول ابقى متفتح .. خيالي محيط ومش هادي
 نافوخي فاتحه للمريخ .. وجيبي فاتحه ع الفاضي
 ومهما حاولت مايكفينيش ..
 شبابيكي على اوروبا
 وبتمشى على الكورنيش
وكله مودي للقبة

واحاول ابقى متحايد
لكن بنحاز لأصحابي
 ولديمة (حبيبة الشاعر) .. وللأهلي .. وللبيتيلز .. ولغاندي
 ورافع ليه للسما جبيني
 ومتعايش برغم القهر
 ولو يطلع جميع ديني .. مايطلعش انحيازي لمصر

I keep trying to be a Sufi
but, despite of me, I find my soul devotion dies
so I taste sensual red lips
I keep trying to be a philosopher
and I keep naming the world a radical
dismissing my precious honesty
oh' why I keep throwing money in the air ??
even, with a passion !!!
---
I keep trying to be something else
but . . .
despite of me I keep finding myself nothing but a human
---
I keep trying to be open,
an ocean of imagination, not even a calm one,
a mind heading to mars
and a useless open pocket
and how much I try . . . I can't get enough
my windows, viewing Europe
and I walk beside the Nile
and all roads lead to "Qoppa" (neighborhood in Cairo)
---
I keep trying to be something else
but . . .
despite of me I keep finding myself nothing but a human
---
I keep trying to be a neutral !!!
but despite of me, I side with my friends,
with "Deema" (lyricist 's muse)
with "Ahly" 
with Beatles
with Gandhi
and I raise my forehead up to the sky
and I just survive though my suffering
and even if I suffer more
I can`t side with Egypt!!!

بحاول - I keep trying


اسكافي و ماشي حافي دابت في ايدي كتير نعول .. لا في يوم حلمت اكون وزير و لا أعيش في قصر من القصور
اصحي من النوم الفجرية و اتوضي و اصلي الصبحية و امنتي صلاح الذرية و ادعي يا فتاح يا عليم ،، و انزل بقبول علي دكاني اسعي لرزقي و رزق عيالي ،و احمد قوي ربي اللي حماني من جشع البنيئادمين
ارزقجي علي باب الله راس مالي قران و هداه ولا بفتري يوم علي حد ضعيف ولا يدخل جوفي ولا لقمة حرام
لا ابات مظلوم ولا ابات ظالم ولا حد في يوم يجي عليا و انام و ضميري مرتاح البال ولا ابص لحاجة ماهيش ليا

تراك بيعبر عن حاله ممكن تمسك
كلمات : خالد ممدوح و احمد حلمي 

  شفت واحد مره حاله بالكتير عايش يادوب
كان بيزعل من مرايته كان بيتمنى الهروب

كان تملى يشوف عيوبه ..
 كان بيتحامى فـ ذنوبه .
. روحه رافضه تعيش فـ تُوبُه
من زمان مليان عيوب
قلب خالي من الملامح .
. روح بيسكنها الفساد
صعب يرجع للبدايه ..
 حتى صعب الروح تتوب
شبه عايش بس ميت ..
 حالته مش متفسره
واللى باقى منه جايز .. صوره منه مكرره

تايه بين سكات الليل  ببلع خوفي بسجارة بونس توهتي بالدخان و برثي خسارتي بخسارة و بطفي الحلم جوايا و بصرخ و الجميع نايمين أحس بنقص ف النيكوتين ف ألف الذكري في  سجاره 


اللى باين فى المراية شبه صوره لحد مات حد كان خايف يعبر حتى خايف مـ السكات مش بيهتم بمبادئ والشعور بالوقت فات حتى لو من جوا صادق قلبه رافض يبقى حي هو حاله ماليها زي المرايا ساعات بتصدق لما بتبين ملامح بس فى الواقع بيفرق لما يبقى الفكر حي..


و تايه بين سكات الليل  ببلع خوفي بسجارة بونس توهتي بالدخان و برثي خسارتي بخسارة و بطفي الحلم جوايا و بصرخ و الجميع نايمين أحس بنقص ف النيكوتين ف ألف الذكري في  سجاره 

بنعيش أموات و نموت نحيا
بنطوف أنحاء و نسيب ناحية
الخوف يمنعنا نقربها
ف نموت و لا مرة نجربها
ف نعيش ناقصين و نموت عايزين
و النقص ده طبع البنى آدمين
جايين من طين و نعود للطين
و بنتنمرد على كل روتين

كلمات 
احمد حلمي

سكات الليل

"El Amiis El Karoo" (The Flannel Shirt) is the latest single and video from Egyptian rock artist and human rights activist Ramy Essam. Released on November 27th, 2020, the song marks 1,000 days of imprisonment of Egyptian poet Galal El-Behairy.

Galal has been imprisoned in Egypt since the 2018 release of the song "Balaha", which he wrote lyrics for. In 2018, Galal was sentenced to 3 years in prison and a fine by the Military Court in Cairo, for his unpublished book of poetry, The Finest Women On Earth. Galal wrote the poem El Amiis El Karoo in Tora Prison, Cairo, in 2018.

The video also highlights the #IwantToBreathe campaign in which people are sharing pictures of themselves having plastic bags on their head, that started in Egypt in 2016: "Prisoners in Egypt are slowly dying because of the deteriorating conditions of their cells." 
"El Amiss El Karoo" is the first release and the title track of Ramy's upcoming album.

El Amiis El Karoo/The Flannel Shirt

El Amiis El Karoo (The Flannel Shirt) القميص الكاروه

Ya Habayebna (Oh You Loved Ones) is originally a song by Egyptian singer and composer Sheikh Imam (1918–1995), known for his political songs in favor of the poor and the working classes. The lyrics are written by Egyptian Ahmed Fouad Negm (1929–2013).
Ya Habayebna is one of the songs I have been listening to a lot during my years in exile. While being away from Egypt, I got more connected to it, and it has been a big support for me. It describes the feelings of people being separated from their loved ones – being in jail or in exile, for example. The message is universal.
