Translation of the song يا سيد السلام artist Wadi Al-Safi
يا سيد السلام
Oh Lord of The Peace
يَا سَيِّدَ السَّلامِ أَعِد لَنَا السَّلامَ
Oh Lord of the peace, prepare the peace to us
فَإِنَّنَا نَعِيشُ فِي زَمَنٍ يَغُوصُ فِي الأَحقَادِ وَالمِحَنِ
For verily we have been living in times plunged into rancour and tribulations
فِي كَلِّ يَومٍ يُصلَبُ الإِنسانُ أَلفَ مَرَّةٍ وَمَرَّةً وَيُصلَبُ الوَطَنُ
And in every day the humans are crucified and one and a thousand times the homeland is crucified
وَتُحَرَّقُ الحُرُوفُ وِيُخنَقُ الكَلَامُ
And the letters have been burned and the words have been strangled
فَاحمِل لَنَا السَّلامَ يَا سَيِّدَ السَّلَامِ
Bring to us the peace, oh Lord of the peace!
عَلَى طَرِيقِ الجُلجُلَةِ
On the road of Calvary
يَسِيرُ شَعبٌ يَحمِلُ المِسمَارَ والصَليبَ
The people travel carrying the nail and the cross
لِأنَّهُ يَعِيشُ فِي مَوطِنِهِ الحَنُونِ كَالغَرِيبِ
Because they are living in their own country as if they were foreigners
وَزَهَرَةُ الخَلَاصِ فِي يَدَيهِ مِقصَلَةٌ
And the flower of salvation in their hands is a guillotine
وَسَائِرٌ عَلَى طَرِيقِ الجُلجُلَةِ
And walking on the road of Calvary
قَد كَلَّلَتُهُ المِحنَةُ السَّودَاءُ بِالسَّوَادِ
The dark misfortune has already crowned them with darkness
وَمَزَقَتُهُ إِرِبًا رَصَاصَةُ الأَحقَادِ
And the bullet of rancour has torn them appart
وَأَعدَمَت فِي حَقدِهَا الكاهِنَ والإِمَامَ.
And executed, in their hatred, the priest and the imam
فَاحمِل لَنَا السَّلَامَ يَا سَيِّدَ السَّلَامِ .
Thus, bring to us the peace, oh Lord of the peace!
يَا سَيِّدَ السَّلامِ أَعِد لَنَا السَّلامَ
Oh Lord of the peace, prepare the peace to us
يَا سَيِّدَ السَّلامِ أَعِد لَنَا السَّلامَ
Oh Lord of the peace, prepare the peace to us
وَمَرَّتِ الأَعوَامُ يِا سَيِّدَنَا نَشتَاقُ لِابتِسَامَةٍ
And there have been ages that we have been longing to smile
وَمَا لَنَا خَلَاصٌ مِن عَذَابِنَا المُضنِي وَلَا قِيَامَةَ
And we have no salvation from our languished torment and also no resurrection
وَتَأكُلُ القَذَائِفُ بَرَاءَةَ الأطفَالِ
And the missiles consume the innocence of the children
ُوَتَكثُرُ المَخَاوِف وَيَكبُرُ المُحَال
And the fears become abundant and the inconceivable grows bigger
َوَيُذبَحُ الخَلَاصَ وَيُقتَلُ الحَمَام
And the salvation is slaughtered and the pigeons are slain
فَاحمِل لَنَا السَّلَامَ يَا سَيِّدَ السَّلَامِ .
Thus, bring to us the peace, oh Lord of the peace!
يَا سَيِّدَ السَّلامِ أَعِد لَنَا السَّلامَ
Oh Lord of the peace, prepare the peace to us
فَإِنَّنَا نَعِيشُ فِي زَمَنٍ يَغُوصُ فِي الأَحقَادِ وَالمِحَنِ
For verily we have been living in times plunged into rancour and tribulations
فِي كَلِّ يَومٍ يُصلَبُ الإِنسانُ أَلفَ مَرَّةٍ وَمَرَّةً وَيُصلَبُ الوَطَنُ
And in every day the humans are crucified and one and a thousand times the homeland is crucified.
