Husam Al-Rassam "Indi Watan" (= I Have a Motherland)






I have a motherland that am always longing for
It's a torment if you can't go home
I was deprived from her by the merciless
My wish is to go back, but how?
I can't go back, and that's the problem
I have a motherland that am always longing for

***

I have a motherland, and my soul is tied to hers
I am afraid to hug her, least i'd open her wounds
She is stabbed all over her body
Everybody had turned against her
She doesn't deserve what happened to her
I have a motherland that am always longing for

***
