@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.

We never released this remix , but i like it ! 

the song was written with Yasmine Hamdan , Rabih Mroue , Walid Sadeck and me . 

We were sitting doing a composition game , one gives a chord , the other gives a melody , the other  a piece of lyrics and after a few minute a song exists. 

Wadih Saffieddine ( our manager at the time was typing on his computer at this time and we were asking him to join , the song was called after him at the end ! i hope u enjoy...

3onsor Falat (Ft. Muhammad Abdullah)

لسّاتك عايش و عم تشرب ميّ
و القذيفة الـ مضيّعتك عم بتقول خطيّ لسّاتو عايش
بـرغم الظروف الـ بتخرّي كتير
و هالعيشة الـ مليانة تعتير لسّاتك عايش
بـرغم المؤامرة الكونية و الأجندة الطائفية
و لك ربطة الخبز يلّي صار حقا ميّة لسّاتك عايش
لسّاتك عايش تحت الحصار
بتحاول تركز بركي بتفهم شو اللي صار
حكيت و تعبّـيت .. حبّـيت و تربّـيت
شقا عمرك حطيتو ب بيت .. و هلئ طار البيت
قالـولك .. وكّل الله و معليك ، لك ماتوا الـ بيعزّوا عليك
بس ماشالله حواليك لسّاتك عايش
بتسأل حالك شلون ؟ .. و مين بيتذكرني
لمّـا فارق هالكون ..
لا تزعل في غيرك 23 مليون .. جاهزين
لـ يطيرو من هـون ..
معقووووووول .. لسّاتك
عايش .. و مع كـترة الموت .. عايش

You're still alive, drinking water
and the shell that is missing you says:
"I'll leave him alone, he's still alive!" 

In spite of all the ugly conditions,
and this life that's full of struggling,
you're still alive!

In spite of the universal conspiracy,
and all the sectarian agenda,
you're still alive!

You're still alive under the siege,
trying to understand what just happened;
you've expressed yourself, you've loved,
you've grown.. you've put your wealth into a home, and now there's nothing you can call your own.. But hey, you're still alive!

You ask yourself how?!
And who would remember me?
when I leave this world.
Don't worry, there are 23 millions other than you..
just ready to take off.

Now is it possible that you're still alive?!
And in spite of all the deaths; alive.

Lyrics:
شوف لوين بتروح 
لوين بتروح
لوين بتروح 
لما تكون لحالك
يمكن بس تغيب الشمس ورا الجبال
 راح تتذكر
تتذكر كيف كان
الجو براسك يدور
قلبك مسحور
كلشي مفهوم 
كان شي مرة
بس اسا انت قاعد بآخر هالليل 
عقلك مش هون وراسك ملان
فقت بالشقلوب اليوم صحيت بالأول ما في نوم 
والسبب مكتوم 
التنين مجروح
التلاتا مجروح
الاربعا مجروح 
وباقي الجمعة مجروح

يمكن لو بتوطوا الصوت شوي
يمكن بس يهدي الموج شوي
يا صح النوم 
غسل وجهك مشط شعرك بكرا بتهون
يا صح النوم
غسل وجهك مشط شعرك بكرا عاجريك بتقوم
بس انا عندي شك صغير
انه هاد الاشي مش راح يصير
مش راح يصير
اليوم
اليوم
اليوم 

عشو بس قللي عشو فهمني عشو 
قاعد بتكابر
اقعد تنفس تطلع وفوت بالجو
ليش ياخي يا ليش طب قللي ليش فهمني ليش
بتوجع بحالك
اقعد تنفس تطلع وفوت بالجو
وروق
روق

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

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

As long as we have this mediocre political class in Lebanon under the rule of religion , we ll never get rid of our problems . 

Here s a song for us , united by our misery.

C un probleme

this is one of the themes i have composed for " Roundtrip " , a film by  the Syrian director  Meyar Al-Roumi.
this piece was recorded between Beirut and Fraizer Park California .
I recorded Buzuk , guitalele , kalimba and melodica 
Miles Jay recorded Lyra , accordeon , contrebass and percussions.
This version is different from the one in the movie. I hope u ll have the chance to see it at the Dubai film festival , if it wins a prize it will hopefully be screened in some theatres around the world. ( finger crossed )
