Old city | Lyrics in English

We left our city behind
 
Sorrowful exile
 
Say hi to Jericho for me
 
And the old city for me
 
Oh, you traveling bird
 
On this generous land
 
They can’t take what’s inside us
 
Say hi to Jericho for me
 
And the old city for me
 
Oh, you traveling bird
 
Between the river and the mountains
 
I find my belonging
 
Between the shore and the sand
 
Is where my life begain
 
Oh, you my homeland
 
Happiness and sorrow
 
Oh, you my homeland
 
Our beloved Palestine is calling
 
Big dreams
Heavy nights
Praying that my family could stay alive
Imagine tryna fly with no wings
But I promise you the cage bird sing in the winter time
Heavy nights
Big dreams
Praying that we make it to sixteen
And even though I traveled the world
I won’t find anything like Palestine
 
Oh, time passed and passed, my beloved
It passed, but we won’t forget
Even though the years pained us
