intruducing sameeh shoqair

[ahmad j ayesh]

i would like to intruduce to u a palestinian comrade singer called sameeh shoqair he is a member of the popular front for the liberation of palestine ( a marxist-linenist military wing was famous for hijaking airoplanes in the seventies)
i'll try to translate one of hes most beutefull songs called in arabic " sata3lameen ya fataty":

you well know my love
that i was beatin to death, untell
my bones turned blue, untill
the walls of my cell cried because of my pain
yet..i didnt betray my comrades
i didnt open my mouth on a word
but to tell them:
my blood
well take my revenge
from you.. my gladiaters

in the darkness of interregating cells
the fashests have attaked my
you my love were there
and my homeland
i was hideng you inside my eyes
if these handcuffss were able to talk..
they would tell
about me handling the pain..
handling the pain..

Reminds me of some of Bobby Sand's poetry.
