Menish Msemah (I shall not forgive)

I came to congratulate
Those who stole the light from my eyes
Those who planted frustrations in the hearts
I came to congratulate
Those who set fire into my chest
and the chest of the afflicted people
Congratulations for taking our land
our soil you polluted
For the tears of our youth
you displaced all around the globe
Congratulations for taking our land
for the souls of all the young people
you threw away in the Mediterranean sea

I am not forgiving
no past and no present
I am not forgiving
as long as I carry a soul
and even when my soul would wander and roam
It shall keep cursing, repeating these words:
I am not forgiving
no past and no present

I am not forgiving
for the right of the oppressed
for the soil of Tunisia
and that you stole
I am not forgiving

I came to congratulate
Those who carved the word
“Alienation” on my forehead
and covered my sun with all these clouds
I came to congratulate
Those who raped the dreams in my night
and in the night of the damned generation
Congratulations for taking our land
our soil you polluted
for the tears of our young people
you scatted all around the globe
Congratulations for taking our land
our soil you polluted
for the soul of our young people
you drowned in the Mediterranean sea

I am not forgiving
no past and no present
I am not forgiving
as long as I have a soul
Even when my soul would leave
and roam this universe

It shall keep cursing and repeating these words:
I am not forgiving
no past and no present
I am not forgiving
for the blood of the martyrs
For the soil of Tunisia (Alkhadra-The green)
and all that you stole
I am not forgiving

(Reinterpretation of the Tunisian national anthem)

O defenders of the Homeland!

Rally around to the glory of our time!
The blood surges in our veins,
We die… We die… We die…
