אמצע הלילה בכפר [Emtsa A Layla Ba Kfar] [English translation]

The middle of the night in the village

Lighting another cigarette before the arrest

I'm on guard

And a muezzin sings from Ramallah

Between people in black

I go over another difficult to pass fence

I'm between al-Khader and Beit Jala

It's the middle of the night

And maybe it's already late

You've not called

So maybe I'll come tomorrow

Look at the clouds

They've colored themselves grey

Because of our situation

The middle of the night in the village

A moon shines for me on the time which has passed

In the alleys a soldier there is praying

Smell of fires

And it's again difficult to see

That always accompanies us

A screen of fog 1

It's the middle of the night...

A moment before I break

The morning shines and the night has passed

I return and he still sings there from above
