Congratulations Egypt

Amazing videos filmed in Tahrir Square during the January 25 Revolution.

Sout Al Horeya – ‘the sound of freedom’ – Translation:
I went down to the streets, vowing not to return
and wrote with my blood on every street
our voice reached those who could not hear
and we broke through all barriers
Our weapon was our dreams
and tomorrow is looking as bright as it seems
for ages we’ve been waiting
Searching but unable to find our place

In every street in my country
The sound of freedom is calling

We held our head up high to the sky
and hunger didn’t matter to us anymore
the most important this is our rights
and write our history with our blood
if you were one of us
don’t blather and tell us
to leave and abandon our dream
and stop saying the word ‘I’

In every street in my country
The sound of freedom is calling

“Dark Egyptian Hands; against discrimination,
rise outstretched amid roars of might
 O Novel Youth, into spring the autumn weaves,
awakening the murdered by a miracle achieved,
kill me, the dead shall not retreat your country,
with the ink of blood, I write the future of my country
is that my blood or spring? Both are in green
I smile from happiness not grief”

In every street in my country
The sound of freedom is calling
