Thread: "EGYPT IS FREE!" - The Egyptian People Celebrate

Bella ciao - Egypt...

At the end are pictures of people who actually died in the protest. If anyone can read Arabic; what does it say?

Good luck and god bless to the people in Libya, Yemen, Bahrain, Iran and elsewhere in the Middle East who are wanting a change! Hope no one else has to die.



If someone is not familiar with this song: It's an old song for freedom fighters (during WW2, I think) and it's about someone who goes off to join the partisans, and says 'Goodbye my beautiful..... If I die, bury me in the mountains and plant flowers by my grave..'

My Arabic has never been perfect, and now after many years without practice, it's downright pathetic. But I'll try:

Those at the end are the names of the people in the pictures, and they are referred to as "martyrs".

At 0:41, it's a rhyming verse, meaning something like: "Oh Army, Oh Tyrant! Beware of the formidable Almighty." Despite the rather threatening tone, no harm is meant: it's simply a reminder that whatever we do will be judged later. (See? Islamic beliefs can indeed be used in a good way! )
