Paroles et traduction Ziad Rahbani - Al Jeel (The Generation)

Al Jeel (The Generation)

شو هالجيل، جيل الحرب
ربي عالقتل، ربي عالضرب
شو هالجيل، جيل الحرب
ربي عالقتل، ربي عالضرب

لا العالم بيهموه ولا بغيرن بيهتوا
بيهمن يشموا وبيهمن الشرب
يعني كل شي بالقلب

شو هالجيل، جيل الحرب آه-آخ
شو هالجيل، جيل الحرب
ما إله حل، ما إله رب

كيف معهم نتفاهم، جرصونا العالم
تحكيله عالعالم بيزفر، بيسب
يعني كل شي بالقلب

وين دور الإم، دور الأب
وين دور الإم والأب
مع هالجيل، جيل الحرب

بيسبوا له أمه، ليش هو بيهمه
لو يسمع من أمه شو كان بينحب
إلهمهم بس يا رب

آه-آخ إيه ده الجيل آه يا شعب
إيه ده الجيل، آه يا شعب
يوعى فجور، يغفى طب

لا لابس فانلة ولا سترة الحمد لله
مسطح متل تريلا
طب طب، ما بينضب
اتغاضى بس يا رب

يا رب

Al Jeel (The Generation)

What is this generation, the generation of war
Grown up on killing, grown up on violence
What is this generation, the generation of war
Grown up on killing, grown up on violence

The world neither understands them nor do they understand it
They only care about drinking and having fun
Meaning everything is done on impulse

What is this generation, the generation of war oh-oh
What is this generation, the generation of war
There is no solution, no God

How can we communicate with them, they've made the world their servant
Tell them about the suffering in the world, they spit and curse
Meaning everything is done on impulse

Where is the role of the mother, the role of the father
Where is the role of the mother and the father
With this generation, the generation of war

They spit at their mother, why should they care
If they listened to their mother, they would be loved
May You forgive them, Lord

Oh-oh, yes, this is the generation, oh my people
Yes, this is the generation, oh my people
Awake in vice, asleep in virtue

He wears neither a t-shirt nor a jacket, praise God
He's flat like a truck
Flat flat, never going to grow
Just turn a blind eye, Lord

Lord
