I See The Dream (Badna Salam) – Massari & Ali Gatie
By
I see the dream I’m not the only one If you believe it’s real Just like the rising sun We could be free Leave all the clouds behind No need to fear Come put your hand in mine
Eh na na, oh na na Badna L Salam [we want peace] Eh na na, oh na na Fi Kol El Makan [all over the world] Eh na na, oh na na El Helm Elli Kan [the dream we had] Eh na na, oh na na Hobb wou Aman [love and safety] Eh na na, oh na na Nou’af Sawa [let’s stand together] Eh na na, oh na na Ya Chaab Elli Ghali [oh precious people] Eh na na, oh na na Make tomorrow better than yesterday
This a song for anybody losing hope Kids that never met their family at all Mothers who had sons that never came home For all the kids who grew up in war This a song for anybody with a dream Fathers working hard ’cause they got families to feed Mothers who had to bury their own child I could never ever feel how you feel Matter fact this a song for my people of color I could never forget all my black sisters and brothers Ima use my voice till the day I die I stand with Yemen with Palestine For my people in Iraq and Lebanon Just know that your voices are heard And it’s hella strong we want peace we ain’t giving up Ima say it one more time we ain’t never giving up
Eh na na, oh na na Badna L Salam [we want peace] Eh na na, oh na na Fi Kol El Makan [all over the world] Eh na na, oh na na El Helm Elli Kan [the dream we had] Eh na na, oh na na Hobb wou Aman [love and safety] Eh na na, oh na na Nou’af Sawa [let’s stand together] Eh na na, oh na na Ya Chaab Elli Ghali [oh precious people] Eh na na, oh na na Make tomorrow better than yesterday
