@la-noemie-1: Je crois qu'il parle de la guerre en syrie "tu dors encore, tu n'as pas senti l'incendie chez les voisins, ceci n'est pas une ile, etc." Il y a des autres references encore plus claires.

Zeid and the wings : Gihan el-Hage et de Marie Abou Khaled

Lyrics :
Ghatess bil naoum    diving into sleep
Ahlam ghami2a           deep dreams
Mannak chamem        u don t smell
Ri7t el 7ari2a                the scent of fire 
ichta3ala nar                the fire erupted
3ed el jiran                   At the neighbourghs
Ma hadan fa2              No one woke
Mahadan htam           no one cares

Hayde mich Jazira     this is not an Island
3aychin 3a safine      We re living on a boat
3am btighra2             that is sinkink

Balak fadi                    u have othing on your mind
ghafi bil fay                 sleeping under the shades
Mannak same3        U re not hearing 
Srkhet el khei            the scream of the brother

Saf2it Slah                      a load of weapons
mallet bawakher            filled ships
mar2et ghamzeh          a wink passed 
3a wej el tajer                 on the face  of the dealer

chorus 

hayda el za3im             this lord 
Ibn Za3im                      is a son of lord
3ayan wazir                   he assigned a minister
Ibn wazir                        son of a minister
twechwoch zghir          a little whisper     
A sofat harir                   on a velvet sofa
Hakem a cha3b           rules on the people
bala damir                    without conscience
ma bi sir                       it s not right


chorus
