lyrics

Abu Zeid (Marda مرده, West Bank):

Why are you here? Why did you enter the village?
Suddenly I see the one who was shooting in the air all the time, standing in front of me
I said: Why are you in the village? There will be killing. I’ll show you the way out. 
He came closer and said: I'm a soldier I'm not afraid.
Listen to me: don’t do anything at all. I am the one who will take you out of the village. If you will do anything, these kids will be killed!
He got closer to me and pointed his M16 to my stomach. I told him: talk to me unarmed. (x2)
He moved back 15 cm from my stomach and shot Dumdum bullets at my stomach.
