I am a child who wants to play, why don't you let me?

Lyrics "Give us our childhood, Give us Peace" (a famous song by a four-year old Arab child)

I am a child with something to say
Please listen to me,
I am a child who wants to play, why don't you let me?
My doors are waiting
My friends are praying
Small hearts are begging
Give us a chance
Give us a chance
Give us a chance
Give us a chance
Give us a chance
Please Please
Give us a chance!
Give us our childhoodGive us our childhood
Give us our childhoodGive us our childhood
Give us Give us,
Give us PEACE!



"We came to greet you for the coming of your Eid"
Bi Al-Eid Nis'alkum Laish Mafy A'na La A'eyad wla Zinah "
Asking why we don't have Eid or ornaments like you?
Ya Aalm Ardhy Mahrogah
O People of the world, my land is burning!
Ardh Al-Huryah Masroga
The land of freedom is stolen!
smana amtihlam wa btisa'l alayam
Our sky is dreaming and our days are asking:
wayn alshams alhilwah ?
Where is the beautiful sun?
wa rfof al-hamam?
Where is the flap of doves?
Ya Aalm Ardhy Mahrogah
O People of the world, my land is burning!
Ardh Al-Huryah Masroga
The land of freedom is stolen!

Ardhy sagheerah Mithly sagheerah
My land is small, small like me
Attuna Al-Salam wa Attuna Al-Tufulah!
Give us peace and give us our childhood!
Attuna Al-Tufulah ...Attuna Al-Tufulah
Give us our childhood...Give us our childhood!
Attuna Al-Tufulah ...Attuna Al-Tufulah
Give us our childhoodGive us our childhood!
Attuna...Attuna
Give us Give us,
Attuna Al-Salam
Give us Peace!
