A little of what you have | C |
For we have forgotten | D |

To be men | E |
For we have men | E |
dough they become | F |
Teach us | B |
How the rocks become | F |
in the children's hands | G |
precious diamond | H |
How it becomes | I |
The child's bicycle a mine | J |
And the silk ribbon | D |
An ambush | K |
How the feeding bottle nipple | L |
If detained not | M |
Turns into a knife | N |
O pupils of Gaza | A |
Care not | M |
about our broadcasts | O |
And hear us not | M |
Strike | P |
Strike | P |
With all your powers | Q |
And firmly in your hands take matters | Q |
And ask us not | M |
We the people of arithmetic | R |
And of addition | D |
And of subtraction | D |
Your wars do carry on | S |
And abstain from us | B |
We're the deserters | Q |
from the service | B |
Your ropes do bring | T |
And hang us | B |
We're mortals | U |
Who possess not tombs | V |
And orphans | W |
who possess not masters | Q |
We kept already to our rooms | V |
And we asked you | X |
To fight the dragon | D |
We've diminished before you | X |
A thousand century | Y |
And you've grown | Z |
Within a month Centuries | A2 |
O pupils of Gaza | A |
Return not | M |
To our writings | B2 |
And read us not | M |
We're your fathers | Q |

We're your idols | U |
Do worship us not | M |
We engage in | C2 |
Political lies | D2 |
And repression | D |
And we build graves | E2 |
And jails | F2 |
Liberate us | B |
From the fear problem in us | B |
And expel | G2 |
The opium from our heads | H2 |
Teach us | B |
The art of adherence to the Land | I2 |
And leave not | M |
The Messiah saddened | H |
O our beloved children | D |
Salam | J2 |
May Allah render your day | K2 |
Jasmine | D |
From the cracks of ruined earth | L2 |
You emerged forth | M2 |
And planted in our wound | N2 |
Musk rose | O2 |
This is the revolution of notebooks | P2 |
And ink | Q2 |
Do become on the lips | R2 |
melodies | A2 |
Shower us | B |
Heroism and pride | S2 |
And from our ugliness wash us | B |
Wash us | B |
Fear neither Moses | B |
Nor Moses' spell | G2 |
And ready yourself | T2 |
To harvest the olives | U2 |
Verily this Jewish age | V2 |
is an illusion | D |
That shall collapse | W2 |
Albeit sureness we possess | X2 |
O madmen of Gaza | A |
A thousand welcome | F |
in madmen | D |
If they liberate us | B |
Verily the age of political reason | D |
has long bygone | Y2 |
Do teach us madness | B |
