O pupils of GazaA
Teach usB
A little of what you haveC
For we have forgottenD
Teach usB
To be menE
For we have menE
dough they becomeF
Teach usB
How the rocks becomeF
in the children's handsG
precious diamondH
How it becomesI
The child's bicycle a mineJ
And the silk ribbonD
An ambushK
How the feeding bottle nippleL
If detained notM
Turns into a knifeN
O pupils of GazaA
Care notM
about our broadcastsO
And hear us notM
StrikeP
StrikeP
With all your powersQ
And firmly in your hands take mattersQ
And ask us notM
We the people of arithmeticR
And of additionD
And of subtractionD
Your wars do carry onS
And abstain from usB
We're the desertersQ
from the serviceB
Your ropes do bringT
And hang usB
We're mortalsU
Who possess not tombsV
And orphansW
who possess not mastersQ
We kept already to our roomsV
And we asked youX
To fight the dragonD
We've diminished before youX
A thousand centuryY
And you've grownZ
Within a month CenturiesA2
O pupils of GazaA
Return notM
To our writingsB2
And read us notM
We're your fathersQ
Do resemble us notM
We're your idolsU
Do worship us notM
We engage inC2
Political liesD2
And repressionD
And we build gravesE2
And jailsF2
Liberate usB
From the fear problem in usB
And expelG2
The opium from our headsH2
Teach usB
The art of adherence to the LandI2
And leave notM
The Messiah saddenedH
O our beloved childrenD
SalamJ2
May Allah render your dayK2
JasmineD
From the cracks of ruined earthL2
You emerged forthM2
And planted in our woundN2
Musk roseO2
This is the revolution of notebooksP2
And inkQ2
Do become on the lipsR2
melodiesA2
Shower usB
Heroism and prideS2
And from our ugliness wash usB
Wash usB
Fear neither MosesB
Nor Moses' spellG2
And ready yourselfT2
To harvest the olivesU2
Verily this Jewish ageV2
is an illusionD
That shall collapseW2
Albeit sureness we possessX2
O madmen of GazaA
A thousand welcomeF
in madmenD
If they liberate usB
Verily the age of political reasonD
has long bygoneY2
Do teach us madnessB
