Innocent – A Requiem for Refugees

The skies are fighting the fields
And the wandering of people in wars
Longings are torn
From the eyes of the fleeing children
And there are no father and mother and mercy

YA AHYA YA AHYA
ASHAR AHYA ASHAR AHYA
YA AHYA YA AHYA
ASHAR AHYA ASHAR AHYA

YA FADAYTAK YA FADAIT
ANA NIM ASHKI ALEIK
LA LILI LEIL WALA NAHAR
LA LILI LA LILI WALA NAHAR
LA LILI LA LILI WALA NAHAR

YA AHYA YA AHYA
ASHAR AHYA ASHAR AHYA
YA AHYA YA AHYA
ASHAR AHYA ASHAR AHYA

Why? Why? Why?
Why? Why? Why?
Why? Why? Why?
Why why crazy mind?!
Why?
