Sha'ban Abd Al-Rahim's Song "Oh, Mr. Arab"

The following is a song by Egyptian singer Sha'ban Abd Al-Rahim, which appeared on the Internet.

Abd Al-Rahim: (Bush) sketched out a road map for his brothers and his sons, and established a quartet to run things for him.

The map wasn't implemented, and the quartet can't reach agreement. That's what our friend wants and is constantly preoccupied with.

Two sides of the same coin. Two sides of the same coin. America and Israel. They have turned the world into a jungle, and lit the fuse. They have turned the world into a jungle. They have turned the world into a jungle, and lit the fuse, and lit the fuse.

America has spread its wings. it doesn't care about anyone. No one stops it, no one restrains it.

One minute (Bush) says it's Iran, and the next - Syria, but he has hardly anything to say when someone mentions Korea. He has hardly anything to say. He has hardly anything to say when someone mentions Korea, when someone mentions Korea.

There was a tower, oh people, and for sure his friends were the ones who toppled it. For sure his friends were the ones who toppled it, the ones who toppled it.

What kind of terrorism is this? It's been going on for some years. America and Israel play the bully. America and Israel play the bully, play the bully.

They harass Syria, and strike at Lebanon. Once it's Israel, then the Americans.

Long arms are stretched out to all the region. Bush slices it up and hands it out. Bush slices it up and hands it out, and hands it out.

Who says it's a passing cloud? Our story requires steadfastness. Our story requires the whole nation. Our story requires the whole nation. Our story requires the whole nation.

People everywhere suffer and complain. Oh Mr. Arab - When are you planning to act? Oh Mr. Arab, oh Mr. Arab - When are you planning to act? When are you planning to act?

Silence is useless, it's the greatest mistake. Tomorrow they will make a map for everyone. Tomorrow, for everyone they will make a map, they will make a map.

Oh Mr. Arab, when will you wake up? The flood is closing in on you, and you are not aware of it. The flood is closing in on you, and you are not aware of it. Everyone sits in silence, relying on the other.

Morning and night, Sharon hatches troubles. He hatches troubles, he hatches troubles. A liar - all his life he deceives and behaves hypocritically.

There are no smuggled weapons. There are no tunnels. The man is self-hating. The man is self-hating. The man is self-hating. An unbridled liar.

All his pretexts mention Egypt. All his pretexts mention Egypt, mention Egypt.

Two sides of the same coin. America and Israel. They have turned the world into a jungle, and lit the fuse. They lit the fuse. They lit the fuse.
