A Thousand Drawings
Yum al ayama
The Day of Resurrection, Heaven and Hell
Jana wa nar
And you will know your fate
Wa kanu niyyama
And there will be blessings
Fashafu Allah
So fear Allah
Yum al ayama
The Day of Resurrection, Heaven and Hell
Jana wa nar
And you will know your fate
Wa kanu niyyama
And there will be blessings
Fashafu Allah
So fear Allah
Er både svart og hvit, er både glad og trist
I'm both black and white, both happy and sad
Han passet mitt og kastet blikket og traff meg.
He looked at my passport, his gaze met mine and judged me.
For jeg var fuglen bakken og han var tvunget til å ville kappe vingene av meg før jeg fikk sunget
For I was the bird on the ground and he felt compelled to clip my wings before I could sing
Sunget ut om profeten og om gud.
Sing about the prophet and about God.
Alle disse temaene som ellers er tabu.
All these topics that are otherwise taboo.
Du, tør du å si du ber i smug når du veit at mange av dine ville sett deg som sjuk For det er sjukt at du si at Gud setter oss fri
Do you dare to say you pray in secret, knowing many of your people would see you as ill? Because it's sick that you have to say God sets us free
Jeg utsetter å si at du ser en Muslim, til jeg allerede har gjort et inntrykk.
I postpone telling you that you're looking at a Muslim until I've already made an impression.
Venter til vi blir litt kjent og Magdi er ikke sinnsyk.
I wait until we get to know each other a bit and Magdi isn't seen as insane.
Du er ikke redd fordi det er ukjent
You're not afraid because it's unknown
Du er redd fordi du tror du kjenner meg og jeg er ustemt. Falsk.
You're afraid because you think you know me and I'm out of tune. False.
Du stemme meg fint.
You have to tune me in.
For at jeg er hyggelig jeg, selvom det er ikke fordi jeg er Muslim.
Because I'm a nice guy, even though it's not because I'm Muslim.
Yaom al iama, gn oa nar
The Day of Resurrection, Heaven and Hell
Oa kano iama, fishof Allah
And you will know your fate, so fear Allah
Yaom al iama, gn oa nar
The Day of Resurrection, Heaven and Hell
Oa kano iama, fishof Allah
And you will know your fate, so fear Allah
Er både hvit og svart, er både rik og blakk.
I'm both white and black, both rich and broke.
Hun sa hun aldri hadde møtt en kar som ikke drakk.
She said she'd never met a man who didn't drink.
Og spurte meg om gud dømte meg i svart-hvitt - for tilogmed
And asked me if God judged me in black and white - because even
Muslimene hun kjente drakk litt.
The Muslims she knew drank a little.
Men brorskapet er ikke lengere mellom de som tror det samme.
But the brotherhood is no longer between those who believe the same.
Har en bror som en Hindu, og det handler om å godta at andre har en mor som
I have a brother who's a Hindu, and it's about accepting that others have a mother who
Og kanskje en far som
And maybe a father who
Lærte dem noe annet om livet
Taught them something different about life
Som at himmelen er et mål og livet kanskje er en casting.
Like heaven being a goal and life perhaps being a casting.
Hakke masse svin skogen men jeg har masse marsvin.
I don't have a lot of wild pigs in the woods, but I have a lot of guinea pigs.
Og ett marsvin er hodepine og Asperin.
And one guinea pig is a headache and Aspirin.
Og hvis det får oss til å gjøre gode ting hva synes du om
And if it makes us do good things, then what do you think about
La meg tro Gud ogsånn
Letting me believe in God like this?
Aner du hvor mange som har spurt meg om det du spurte om?
Do you have any idea how many people have asked me what you asked?
Lurte hvorfor jeg ikke tar de valgene de tar
Wondering why I don't make the choices they make
Du kan ikke gi Gud
You can't give God
bare gi faen.
So just give a damn.
Yaom al iama, gn oa nar
The Day of Resurrection, Heaven and Hell
Oa kano iama, fishof Allah
And you will know your fate, so fear Allah
Yaom al iama, gn oa nar
The Day of Resurrection, Heaven and Hell
Oa kano iama, fishof Allah
And you will know your fate, so fear Allah
de kaller meg grå
So they call me grey
For jeg var ute om natta men jeg tror gud og dommedagen derpå.
Because I was out at night, but I believe in God and the Day of Judgement thereafter.
venner vet om bønneteppet mitt.
Few friends know about my prayer rug.
Baba har ikke sett de feilene sønnen hans begikk
Father hasn't seen the mistakes his son made
jeg takker Gud, men har ikke en talsmann.
So I thank God, but I don't have a spokesperson.
Ta'kke en drink, ta'kke dop, ta'kke avstand.
I don't take a drink, I don't take drugs, I take a stand.
Ta'kke spørsmål når du bruker feil finger
I don't take questions when you use the wrong finger
For ett ord sier mer enn tusen tegninger.
Because one word says more than a thousand drawings.
Yaom al iama, gn oa nar
The Day of Resurrection, Heaven and Hell
Oa kano iama, fishof Allah
And you will know your fate, so fear Allah
Yaom al iama, gn oa nar
The Day of Resurrection, Heaven and Hell
Oa kano iama, fishof Allah
And you will know your fate, so fear Allah
