Maktub Lyrics by Belly, Elyanna - إليانا, MC Abdul

96 Miles from Bethlehem

2024

[Chorus: Elyanna - إليانا]
بدرب الشمس
في طريق
الم مكتوب
طيور الأمس
فيها تعود
لأرض النور
كل يلي راحوا، راجعين
جيل ما بينسى فلسطين
بدرب الشمس
يا ارض النور
[Verse 1: Belly]
I miss the days when my grandma was makin' akkoub
They took everything that we own, بس قوله محسوب
My heart frozen over, I'm prayin', إنشالله بي دوب, مكتوب
My grandmother sat on the stoop with her feet in the water
I had a dream that one day, I'd see a free Falasteen with my daughter
Freedom is God-given and I know it was all written in a metaphor
The heavens await, but I'ma be late, I'm patient, I know what we're destined for
Freedom forever more
[Chorus: Elyanna - إليانا]
بدرب الشمس
في طريق
الم مكتوب
طيور الأمس
فيها تعود
لأرض النور
كل يلي راحوا، راجعين
جيل ما بينسى فلسطين
بدرب الشمس
يا ارض النور
[Verse 2: MC Abdul & Belly]
Born and raised in the Gaza strip, forever my paradise
When life is a gamble and I've nеver even ownеd a pair of dice
I think my loved ones and my family that sacrificed
So I wrote this verse on the moon (Take a breath)
The day that I left, my grandmama gave me this rosary
May God rest his soul, but I know she know wherever I'm goin', it's close to me
I look around at the world and I pray 'cause I know this is not what it's supposed to be
I miss Falasteen and the scenery, that's why I speak of the thievery 'til all of my people free
[Chorus: Elyanna - إليانا]
بدرب الشمس
في طريق
الم مكتوب
طيور الأمس
فيها تعود
لأرض النور
كل يلي راحوا، راجعين
جيل ما بينسى فلسطين
بدرب الشمس
يا ارض النور
