English Translated Lyrics:
Two steps forward,
And ten steps back.
I see clouds these days,
Where’s the light?
The soldier approaches
with a machine gun,
What a terrible sight!
“Going where?”
He says: “Take a step back!”
My fate is out of my hands,
No one understands my way of life!
But in my hand is a glass of whiskey,
And it still doesn’t quench me!
Pour another glass,
Roll a cigarette,
Maybe I’ll forget this mockery.
Maybe I’ll forget this mockery,
I feel like I keep going backward.
Pour another glass,
Roll a cigarette,
Maybe I’ll forget this mockery.
Maybe I’ll forget this mockery,
I feel like I keep going backward.
For two years I’ve been depressed,
Down and out!
Have I been cursed by the eye? Or am I imagining?
Someone explain!
What’s next? What more?
Where’s the sweet escape?
Where am I going? My brain is tired!
My patience is over
Pour another glass,
Roll a cigarette,
Maybe I’ll forget this mockery.
Maybe I’ll forget this mockery,
I feel like I keep going backward.
Maybe I'll forget
Maybe I'll forget
Maybe I'll forget
Maybe I'll forget
Maybe I'll forget
Maybe I'll forget
ARABIC LYRICS:
خطوتين لقدام
وعشرة لورا
شايف غيم هالايام
وين الفضا؟
بطلعلي الجيش
مع رشاش
زي العما
“رايح وين؟”
"بقلي: “!ارجع لورا
مش طالع بأيدي أغير نصيبي
ولا حدا فاهم أساليبي
الطالع بأيدي كاسة ويسكي
ولسا ما بتكفيني
صب كمان كاس
لف سيجارة
**بركي بنسى كل هالخ
بركي بنسى هالمسخرة
بحس حالي برجع لورا
صب كمان كاس
لف سيجارة
بركي بنسى هالمسخرة
بركي بنسى هالمسخرة
بحس حالي برجع لورا
صارلي سنتين فإكتئاب
ماكل هوا
حسدتني العين ولا خيال؟
يفهمني حدا
؟طب شو بعدين ؟شو كمان
وين الفرج؟
أنا رايح وين؟ عقلي تعبان
صبري انتهى
PRECHORUS 2:
مش طالع بأيدي أغير نصيبي
ولا حدا فاهم أساليبي
الطالع بأيدي كاسة ويسكي
ولسا ما بتكفيني
بركي بنسى
بركي بنسى
بركي بنسى
بركي بنسى
بركي بنسى
بركي بنسى
#BasharMurad #Maskhara
Bashar Murad is a Palestinian singer, lyricist, director and composer born and raised in Jerusalem. Bashar uses pop music and art as a vehicle to challenge stereotypes, normativity and to highlight social issues facing young generations of urban Palestinians.
Bashar grew up surrounded by the works and compositions of one of Palestine’s most innovative bands Sabreen. Since 2018 Bashar has been producing genre-bending music defying patriarchal and oppressive structures present within his immediate environment.
His works include “Shillet Hamal” (Bunch of Bums), Ilkul 3am Bitjawaz (Everyone’s Getting Married) and the United Nations commissioned song and music video for “Ana Zalameh” (I Am A Man) all garnering regional and global attention. Apart from the unique sound which Bashar managed to carve himself on the Palestinian and regional music scenes, he also accompanies his works with spectacular visual works testifying to his playful imagination. He has also directed music videos for other Palestinian artists including DAM's Emta Njawzek Yamma.
In June 2021 Bashar Murad released his debut E.P. “Maskhara” (Arabic for “Mockery”). The work is a masterpiece of escapist sonic finesse, blending his native Jerusalem reality with a distinct pop style and genre-bending aesthetics. For the E.P. Murad has collaborated with pioneering Palestinian hip hop artist Tamer Nafar (DAM), recruited the brilliant oud mastery of Said Murad and Wisam Murad (Sabreen) and called on the expertise of world-class American producer Gannin Arnold.
He has been featured in articles from CBC, The Guardian, the Globe, The Mail and the BBC, with the press describing him as “The Palestinian singer blurring gender lines” and a “slightly built, mild-mannered Arabic provocateur.”
