خُيولي 
أخَفُّ مِنَ الرِّيحِ 

سَنابِكُها تَقدَحُ الشَّراراتِ 
إذْ نَدْخُلُ المُدُنَ 

الحَرْبُ تَسْتَلقي 
كالعَروسِ بِإنتِظاري 

والحَتْفُ يَتَكلَّمُ بِاسمي 
فأنا هولاكو: 

سَيْفٌ في غِمدهِ لا يَسْتَريحُ 

ظِلّهُ أَينَما ارْتَمى 
يَستَنسِلُ غَيْمَةً مِنَ العُقبانِ الجائِعَة 
تطفو فوق البيوت 

حيثُ يَراني 
اللاجئونَ في 
كَوابيسِهِم بَينَ الخَرائِبِ 

- شعر لسركون بولص (١٩٤٤-٢٠٠٧). الترجمة الانجليزية لناريمان يوسف 

-------------------- 

My stallions 
are lighter than the wind. 

The fire of their hooves 
singes the earth 
as we enter the cities. 

War reclines, 
a submissive bride at my call, 
and Death speaks in my name, 
for I am Hulagu: 

a sword untiring, 
its shadow, wherever it falls, 
begets a cloud of hungry vultures 
that circle the houses 
where refugees 
see me in their nightmares 
among the ruins. 

- Poem by Sargon Boulus (1944-2007). English translation by Nariman Youssef.

Alif - Holako (Hulagu) الألف - هولاكو

[歌詞]
街の灯りがゆれて  
Voices rising in the night  
人々は夢を追い  
Searching for a little light  

Keep on moving, 進め  
Don’t let the rhythm fade away  
生きる証を歌え  
Together we can find the way  

影と光のあいだ  
We’re dancing in between  
涙を乾かして  
Painting life in vivid scenes  

Keep on moving, 進め  
Don’t let the rhythm fade away  
生きる証を歌え  
Together we can find the way  

Voices echo, ここにある  
Every heartbeat tells who we are  
流れるリズムを信じて  
Take the moment, reach for stars  

Keep on moving, 進め  
Don’t let the rhythm fade away  
生きる証を歌え  
Together we can find the way  

(Yeah yeah yeah) こだまする声  
(Oh oh oh) we won’t let it go  
(La la la) 終わらない旅  
(Keep it alive) and let the spirit flow  

Na na na, la la la, 光へ  
Shining bright, forever stay

Rise Together

أجاكو الغول
شوي مشغول
شوي مسطول
أجاكو الغول 
مش عارف لشو 
صحيتوه

والشمس
حامية ع راسي الشمس
مش شايفة قدامي من الشمس
وانت وين بهالحم؟
بهالحم في دم
بهالحم في دم


والشمس
حامية ع راسي الشمس
مش شايفة قدامي من الشمس
بتحكيلي راح كله ينحل
حاسة كلشي عم ينشل
وانت وين بهالحم؟
بهالحم في دم
بهالحم في دم

Here comes the monster
a little busy, a little dizzy
here comes the monster
doesn’t know why it was awaken
And the sun
too hot for my head
that sun
I can’t see in front of me
from the sun
and where are you in this heat?
in this heat there’s blood
in this heat there’s blood
And the sun
too hot for my head
that sun
I can’t see in front of me
from the sun
And the sun
too hot for my head
that sun
I can’t see in front of me
from the sun
you keep telling me everything will be alright
I feel like I’m paralysed
and where are you in this heat?
where are you in this heat?
in this heat there’s blood
in this heat there’s blood
