"Ezay (إزاي)" lyrics:
إزاي ترضيلي حبيبتي ... أتمعشق اسمك وانتي
عماله تزيدي في حيرتي ومنتيش حاسة بطيبتي , إزاي؟!
مش لاقي في عشقك دافع ... ولا صدقي في حبك شافع
إزاي أنا رافع راسك وانتي بتحني في راسي , إزاي؟!
أنا أقدم شارع فيكي ... وآمالك من الي باليكي
أنا طفل اتعلق بيكي , في نص السكة وتوهتيه
أنا لو عاشقك متخيّر ... كان قلبي زمانه اتغير
وحياتك لافضل أغير فيكي لحد ماترضي عليه
إزاي ترضيلي حبيبتي ... أتمعشق اسمك وانتي
عماله تزيدي في حيرتي ومنتيش حاسة بطيبتي , إزاي؟!
مش لاقي في عشقك دافع ... ولا صدقي في حبك شافع
إزاي أنا رافع راسك وانتي بتحني في راسي , إزاي؟!
إزاي سايباني بضعفي ... طب ليه مش واقفة في صفي
وأنا عشت حياتي بحالها عشان ما ألمحش في عينك خوف
و في بحرك ولّا في برّك ... إزاي أحميلك ضهرك
وأنا ضهري في آخر الليل دايماً بيبات محني ومكشوف
أنا أقدم شارع فيكي ... وآمالك من الي باليكي
أنا طفل اتعلق بيكي , في نص السكة وتوهتيه
أنا لو عاشقك متخيّر ... كان قلبي زمانه اتغير
وحياتك لافضل أغير فيكي لحد ماترضي عليه
إزاي ترضيلي حبيبتي ... أتمعشق اسمك وانتي
عماله تزيدي في حيرتي ومنتيش حاسة بطيبتي , إزاي؟!
مش لاقي في عشقك دافع ... ولا صدقي في حبك شافع
إزاي أنا رافع راسك وانتي بتحني في راسي , إزاي؟!

** Kashmere Hakim: "Vendor Cart" (2011)
This is a new song, dedicated to M. Bouazizi (March 29, 1984 -- January 4, 2011) and all the other people that fought and fight for peace, equality, justice and a future.
M. Bouazizi was a young educated (graduated from University) Tunisian street vendor whose self-immolation in protest at the confiscation of his vendor cart was a catalyst to the 2010--2011 Tunisian protests. Bouazizi, a high school graduate who had been unable to find meaningful employment, resorted to selling vegetables on the street in Sidi Bouzid to support himself and his family. (source: wikipedia)
*** John Lennon: "Power To The People" (1971)
- Lyrics:
Power to the people.
Power to the people.
Power to the people.
Power to the people.
Power to the people.
Power to the people.
Power to the people.
Power to the people, right on.
Say you want a revolution,
We better get on right away,
Well you get on your feet,
And out on the street.
Singing power to the people,
Power to the people.
Power to the people.
Power to the people, right on.
A million workers working for nothing,
You better give 'em what they really own,
We got to put you down,
When we come into town.
Singing power to the people,
Power to the people.
Power to the people.
Power to the people, right on.
I gotta ask you comrades and brothers,
How do you treat you own woman back home,
She got to be herself,
So she can free herself.
Singing power to the people,
Power to the people.
Power to the people.
Power to the people, right on.
Now, now, now, now.
Oh well, power to the people.
Power to the people.
Power to the people.
Power to the people, right on.
Yeah, power to the people.
Power to the people.
Power to the people.
Power to the people, right on.
Power to the people.
Power to the people.
Power to the people.
Power to the people, right on...
**** The Beatles: "Revolution" (1968)
"Revolution" is a song by The Beatles written by John Lennon and credited to Lennon/McCartney. The Beatles released two distinct arrangements of the song in 1968: a hard rock version as the B-side of the single "Hey Jude", and a slower version titled "Revolution 1" on the eponymous album The Beatles (commonly called the "White Album"). Although "Revolution" was released first, it was recorded several weeks after "Revolution 1" as a re-make specifically designed to be released as a single. A third connected piece written by Lennon is the experimental "Revolution 9", which evolved from an unused portion of "Revolution 1", and also appears on the White Album.
"Revolution" was inspired by political protests in early 1968. Lennon's lyrics expressed doubt about some of the tactics. When the single version was released in August, the political left viewed it as betraying their cause. The release of the album version in November indicated Lennon's uncertainty about destructive change, with the phrase "count me out" modified to "count me out, in".
- Lyrics:
You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right
You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We're doing what we can
But when you want money
for people with minds that hate
All I can tell is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right
Ah
ah, ah, ah, ah, ah...
You say you'll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well, you know
You better free you mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right
all right, all right, all right
all right, all right, all right
Note from the Blogger: Those legendary songs are dedicated to the soul of all the victims and injured people over the serie of revolutions in the Middle-East and North Africa. Bless you, and may the soul of all martyrs rest in Peace.
