Lyrics: Samih al-Qasim
Music: Marwan Abado
I am a simple Arab,
and love all peoples –
despite all the pain.
I am a simple Arab,
and I want peace,
despite everything they put on my back,
with which they challenged my wrist and irritated my ankle.
I am a simple Arab,
and my land is mine.
Here I live, from here I leave
and here I rise again.
Rocks weigh on my back,
but it does not bend, it does not bend,
and I am clear, clear, clear.
