Lyrics[]

[Verse 1]
كنت رايح اغني
لتقيت بلي مالو غنى عني
كل بالو يحرقلي دمي
بس لما عرف اني بغني
الشرطة ما تركني ولا حل عني
قلتلو شو بفهمك بفني
شرط وفرض علي اغني لحتى ليحل عني

[Chorus]
I sing for the stones beneath my feet
I sing for the child that smiled in the street
I sing to lighten the load of the wind
I sing to appease the demons within
I don't need to sing to prove my existence
I don't need to sing to fight you indifference
I sing for the lessons the world hasn't learned
I sing for my soul as she watches it burn
I sing as the trees grows branches above
And I don't need a reason to love

[Verse 2]
אני עומדת יחפה אל מול שדות פתוחים
ראשי מסתחרר. מסרב להחלים
אין בי כוח להכיל את כובד השנים
הכל מתערבב בי לילות וימים
עכשיו אאלץ לדחוק בגפי
לגשר בין ליבי, ראשי, וידי
זה הרגע לקום. לחטא את הפצעים
לחלוק הכאב להחליט להשלים

[Chorus]
I sing for the stones beneath my feet
I sing for the child that smiled in the street
I sing to lighten the load of the wind
I sing to appease the demons within
I don't need to sing to prove my existence
I don't need to sing to fight you indifference
I sing for the lessons the world hasn't learned
I sing for my soul as she watches it burn
I sing as the trees grows branches above
And I don't need a reason to love

[Verse 3]
Sometimes I fear that I won't make a change
That my voice won't be heard because I'll be afraid
We need to rise up, and sing for our pain
Because I'm feeling lost, can I be shown the way?

[Bridge]
קולי כואב מלקרוא
עייפתי מלשיר ולדבר
אני לא רואה שינוי, אף לא קטן
אבל זה לא אומר שאכנע
והחברים שלי יחד איתי במסע הזה, נלחמים
יחד נסיים את המאבק הזה ונצליח
לכל הצעירים אני אומר לכם אל, אל תעזבו
תישארו בארץ שלכם, יש בה טוב - נסו

[Chorus]
I sing for the stones beneath my feet
I sing for the child that smiled in the street
I sing to lighten the load of the wind
I sing to appease the demons within
I don't need to sing to prove my existence
I don't need to sing to fight you indifference
I sing for the lessons the world hasn't learned
I sing for my soul as she watches it burn
I sing as the trees grows branches above
And I don't need a reason to love
