Salam..Szalom

[Gość: Omar]

Salaam, Shalom

Salaam, Shalom.
Shalom, Salaam.
Don't show me maps
and border plans.
First set me free, untie my hands.

Salaam, Shalom.
Shalom, Salaam.
What do we tell an unborn child
about the world he'll grow to find?

Salaam, Shalom. I'm human too.
Shalom, Salaam. I'm just like you.

My hands - stretched out -
await your hands,
not some handouts
wrapped in kind words.

Salaam. Shalom.
Let's talk some more,
but while we talk, please, break my bonds.

Salaam, Shalom.
Salom. Shalaam.
By that one land we both hold dear,
let's say it loud; let's make it clear:
that we will live
as equals there.


Shalaam, Salom.
Salom, Shalaam.
