I don’t get any of this
My ideas are all scrambled, complicated and unclear
Can you show me the way?
"Show Me the Way" - Words and music by Tania Saleh
I don’t get who is with who, the striped and the dotted
Are all controlled and politicized
Can you show me the way?
Poet Mahmoud Darwish reading his poem
Oh Love,
We have no ambition
But to be losers in your wars
Be the winner
You be the winner
Be the winner, we are thankful
But come back to us, losers
Safe and sound
"Happy About Something" - Poem by Mahmoud Darwish - Music by Tania Saleh
Happy about something unseen
I was walking
Dreaming of a blue poem
Of two lines
I was walking
Happy about something
I was walking
Give us, oh Love
Your generous flood
The weather is appropriate
"Peace"
Give us, oh Love...
Rehearsal before recording with Hazem Shaheen
Oh Orient, you look so bright
But your darkness prevails
You are full of warmth
But your body is lazy cold
"The Orient" - Poem by Bayram Al Tunsi -  Music by Tania Saleh
Oh Orient, you look so bright but your darkness prevails
You are full of warmth but your body is lazy cold
Nine hundred million people
Or are they sheep
Our sun makes people look like eggplants
Oh Orient, you look so bright
But your darkness prevails...
"I, Lilith"
Poem by Joumana Haddad - Music by Khalil Judran
I am Lilith the woman fate
No male escapes my spell
And no male would wish to
I am the double moon, Lilith
The black can only be completed
By the white
I, Lilith...
Words on truck: "God is beautiful and loves beauty"
There is no justice in the forests
No, and there is no punishment
If the willow tree laid its shadow on the sand...
"No Justice in the Forests" - Poem by Khalil Gibran - Music by Tania Saleh
There is no justice in the forests
No, and there is no punishment
If the willow tree laid its
Shadow on the sand
The cypress does not accuse it of betraying the book

Lebanon...
A piece of the sky,
On earth has no equal
Quarrel with Allah...

Poet Younes El Ebn reading his poem
I pray every day
When I pray, I pray loud
Till God once visited me
Light and fire, he appeared and said to me:

God: Here I am, what are your demands?
I told him: We are your servants
Did you see what we have become
Because of your temptations?
"Invitation to a Dream" - Poem by Nazek Al Malaeka - Music by Tania Saleh
Let’s dream
The beautiful night is getting closer
The charming darkness
And its stars are calling us
We will dream...
Women, read. Knowledge is light...

Close them, close them, close them, close them

"Damascus" - Poem by Nizar Kabbani - Music by Tania Saleh
President Nasser’s voice:
I don’t understand how we can be happy here
While Damascus is in pain
This is Damascus
And the wine glass is in my hand
I am in love and some love stories are deadly
I am from Damascus, if you dissect my body
It will bleed grapes and apples
"Refugee"

Man talking: Our reality is a bit hard
We have to be strong, we cannot surrender to sadness
"Speechless" - Words and music by Tania Saleh
Those who died for the cause
Never had the chance to solve it
A flower in this wilderness
Never had the chance to pick it
This land is always hungry
For those who love it
Once inside it
They are speechless...
Who am I, where am I from?
Don’t I have a nationality?
My ancestors are red flags and golden liberation wars
"In Other People’s Land" - Poem by Abdallah Al Bardawni - Music by Tania Saleh
Why do those stiff people find me strange?
"The Homeland"
"Show Me the Way" - Words and music by Tania Saleh
From Khartoom to Aleppo
From Rabat to the Arab gulf
What history is being written?
Can you show me the way?
I am so confused
Excuse my ignorance
But to this homeland I am looking for
Can you show me the way?
"We Will Sing" - Poem by Ahmad Fouad Najm - Music by Tania Saleh
We will sing and preach goodness
We will roam the world
With our majestic melodies
Our razor and our balsam
In the enlightened word
We are like this
We will stay like this
Walking but knowing
Who’s with us and who’s against us
Not lost in between
We are like this
We will stay like this
Walking but knowing
Who’s with us and who’s against us
Not lost in between
The street is our home and our song
The street is the best singer
Our words come from the street meat
We will sing
In tune with the street...
