The people want the life of the square ( A choir project )

I watched this video on youtube and i think it is really an awesome musical inspired by the revolution so i translated it for Non-Arabic speakers.
It is called The people want the life of the square … ( they mean tahrir square as there were no sexual harassments, stealing or anything like that )




It translates: 

The people want the life of the square
The morning of the revolution … Is the morning of freedom
Power.. Determination .. Faith .. The Egyptian revolution is everywhere

Application 6 …. Application 6   ( application 6 in Egypt is filled when you get fired )
Change .. Freedom .. Social Justice

A kilo of meat costs a hundred pounds … And a meter of the land costs half a pound

I am a human not a chicken with feathers … You are coming to slaughter me so you can live

They raised the prices of sugar .. They raised the prices of oil.. Until we sold our furniture

We don’t surrender we don’t have fear .. They made us beg to get a plane piece of bread

Tell the governor inside the palace .. You are a gang stealing Egypt

Under the dome there are business men .. Lost all the workers’ rights

We won’t have fear, We won’t put our heads down, We got fed up from the low voice ( “the low voice” is referring to the NPD’s statements )

Here are  the Egyptian people coming out .. From the farms and the plants

Revolution Revolution till victory .. Revolution in every Egyptian street

Our revolution is lead by the people .. Against all the traitors and the thieves

Our revolution is lead by the people.. Not muslim brotherhood or any other party

We demand a civil state .. Not religious nor sectarian

To our martyr sleep well .. We will proceed with the struggle

Hear the mother of the martyr calling .. The security forces killed my children

They taught us in school .. Our Egyptian army is our guardian

They taught you in the military .. To protect the civilians and the freedom

Tomorrow Egypt will live in peace .. After we sue every coward

Raise all the victory flags .. We the youth will liberate Egypt
Raise all the victory flags .. We the youth will liberate Egypt

Raise it, raise it, raise it, raise it … Egypt will always be free
Raise it, raise it, raise it, raise it … Egypt will always be free
Raise it, raise it, raise it, raise it … Egypt will always be free
Raise it, raise it, raise it, raise it … Egypt will always be free

Raise your head up high … You are an Egyptian
The people want .. The life of the square
