Titles: "Bread, Freedom"
"Ramy Essam, the Voice of Egypt"
Lyrics: Bread, freedom, social justice
Bread, freedom, social justice
Bread, freedom, social justice
Bread, freedom, social justice
In the Egyptian dialect, "bread" means "life."
Egyptians have lived their civilization for years.
If the Nile shall run dry,
the Egyptians will water it with their sweat.
In the Egyptian dialect, "bread" means "life."
Egyptians have lived their civilization for years.
If the Nile shall run dry,
Some day it will overflow and pay its debt.
Bread, freedom, social justice
Bread, freedom, social justice
Bread, freedom, social justice
Bread, freedom, social justice
Earning a living is for the rich,
for the peasant, and for the worker.
Earning a living, not by servitude,
and all [other] rights will follow.
Earning a living is for the rich,
for the peasant, and for the worker.
Earning a living, not by servitude.
We will take it – even by force.
Bread, freedom, social justice
Bread, freedom, social justice
Bread, freedom, social justice
Bread, freedom, social justice
When you say the word "freedom,"
you must raise your hand up high.
Freedom is earning a living,
followed by all rights.
When you say the word "freedom,"
you must raise your hand up high.
Freedom is earning a living.
We will take it – even by force.
We will take it – even by force.
We will take it – even by force.
Bread, freedom, social justice
Bread, freedom, social justice
Bread, freedom, social justice
Bread, freedom, social justice
