Dabke System
47 Soul Lyrics

Turn up the sound of the galilee loud
Increase the volume of the music from the Galilee region.

you hear it now stomp on the ground
Now that you can hear the music, stomp on the ground to the beat.

Dabke system we coming to town
We are bringing the traditional Levantine folk dance to the city.

Pick up your keys at the lost and found
Make sure you have your keys so you don't lose them while dancing.

Hold on Look what we Created
Take a moment to appreciate what we have accomplished.

Refugee overseas still I’m a Native
Even though I am a refugee living abroad, I still identify as a native of my homeland.

Call back the kids to remain
Encourage the younger generation to stay connected to their roots and culture.

Don’t Question the land she tell you her name
Respect and recognize the land and its importance to the people who live on it.

رسالة ما بعثتلي ، رسالة ما بعتلك
I didn't send you a message, and you didn't send me one.

رسالة ما بعثتلي ما بعثتلي ما بعثتلك
I didn't send you any messages, you didn't send me any messages either.

رسالة ما بعثتلي ، رسالة ما بعتلك
I haven't sent you a message, and you haven't sent me a message either.

وهسا جايي تلمني وانا من قبلا ياما حذرتك
Now you're coming to blame me, but I warned you before.

لا بكتبي ولا بكتبك
I won't write to you, and you won't write to me.

لا بشرعي ولا بشرعك
I won't choose for you, and you won't choose for me.

دخلك هالحتشي كله
This is all your business, it has nothing to do with me.

بيرضى فية ربي ولا ربك؟
Will your God be pleased with this?

يا منوقع تحت ...تحت ...تحت ..
Oh, you who are below, below, below...

يا منطلع فوق ... فوق ... فوق
Oh, you who are above, above, above...

احنا جسد واحد ..احنا نفس العصب ..
We are one body, we have the same nerves.

مرة فلقوا الأرض .. مرة اكلنا العصا ..
Once we danced on the ground, once we ate the stick.

هاد الحل لاقوا غيره اعلنوا النفير
This is the solution, if you don't find another, declare your mobilization.

في الأرض سيروا ..مش مستاهلة سفير
They will walk on the ground... they do not deserve an ambassador.

من شغلي آجي أغير صورة نمطية
It's my job to change stereotypes.

بنقش فكرة بيتي فراسك زي النبطية
I engrave an idea in your mind, my home is your pride, like the Nabatean.

اليمن سعيد يمن بلوز ديزيرت فنكي صوتو
Yemen is happy, Yemen in a bluesy, desert funky way.

دانس مونكي مونكي دانس مونكي
Dance monkey, monkey dance.

ولاد بلد.. ولاد شتات … ناس زوء
Children of a country, children of diaspora... people with taste.

مالنا رسالة من الي بتحكي انت فيه بنوب
We don't have a message from what you're saying, you're just making it up.

فيا منوقع تحت منضل في الوحل
Oh, you who are below, we stay stuck in the mud.

او مننجن منهنج الجهل .. بس لأ
Or we don't budge from ignorance... but no.

شوية روق حجاب الحلم مخزوق
Take a breather, the veil of the dream is suffocating.

ضلك معنا سوق منضلنا نطلع فوق …
Stay with us, let's move forward and rise up together.

Not clear run back the tape
If it's not clear, rewind the song.

Everyone claiming that they got the label
Everyone is claiming to have the same identity.

Too cool no fuelling the flame
Don't be too cool to show passion and enthusiasm.

Don’t Question the land she tell you her name
Acknowledge the importance of the land and respect its identity.
