The members are rooted in Bilad Al-Sham, spanning the divides from Amman to the Galilee, the Golan Heights to Ramallah. This new sound of 47SOUL has rapidly amassed fans in the Middle East and Europe by blasting the electric Arabic debka sound through underground music scenes.

On top of the beats that have been bumping in the Middle East for centuries, 47SOUL hypes it up with analog synthesizers, hypnotic guitar lines, and shattering verses from the four singers. Every show ends in relentless dance and trance from all parties involved.
Their lyrics, mixing Arabic and English, call for celebration and freedom in the struggle for equality, inside Bilad Al Sham and throughout the world.

بعترف انا مبلي فيكي
و غيري احتارت لياليه
احنا من دونك صورة بدون حكاية
و مسلم امري ليكي
على أمل اني الدار الاقيها
بتكتب فيكي كمان غناية

We each want it our own way

Something that will tie you over
Get you up the next day
If you really want them out of your way
Think before you sign the waiver
It puts you on the next plane

كاسب ما كاسب كاسب بهاذي الدني
خاسر ما خاسر خاسر بهاذي الحرب
غالب ما غالب غالب لون العتم
كاسب مخاسر نفسه وما عارف
غابت ما غابت غابت عنّا الشمس
مالت ما مالت مالت كف العدل
سالت ما سالت سالت دم وحبر
سالت ما مالت غابت دمعاتي

We each want it our own way
Something that will tie you over
Get you up the next day
If you really want them out of your way
Think before you sign the waiver
It puts you on the next plane

Marked safe my friend
My friend my friend

Who only bothered to wake up and check-in
But we all should have been at the check-in

بعترف انا مبلي فيكي
I confess that I'm enamored with you

و غيري احتارت لياليه
And others have been lost for nights

احنا من دونك صورة بدون حكاية
Without you, we're a picture without a story

و مسلم امري ليكي
And I submit my affairs to you

على أمل اني الدار الاقيها
In the hope that I'll find my home

بتكتب فيكي كمان غناية
I'll write another song about you

كاسب ما كاسب كاسب بهاذي الدني
Winners, losers, all winning in this life

خاسر ما خاسر خاسر بهاذي الحرب
Losers, losers, all losing in this war

غالب ما غالب غالب لون العتم
Winners, winners, all dominated by darkness

كاسب مخاسر نفسه وما عارف
Winners are losers of themselves and they don't even know it

غابت ما غابت غابت عنّا الشمس
Whether or not the sun disappears, it's vanished from our lives

مالت ما مالت مالت كف العدل
Whether it leans one way or the other, the hand of justice weighs

سالت ما سالت سالت دم وحبر
Whether it flows or not, blood and ink pour out

سالت ما مالت غابت دمعاتي
Whether they flow or not, my tears have disappeared

Marked safe my friend
Marked safe, my friend

My friend my friend
My friend, my friend

Who only bothered to wake up and check-in
Who only bothered to wake up and check in

But we all should have been at the check-in
But we all should have been at the check-in
