I am a rebel, and freedom is my cause
My only struggle is for peace and justice
War is not my choice
I’ve come to you bearing an olive branch
And a freedom fighter’s gun
I really do not wish,
Even one drop of blood to be shed
So do not let the olive branch fall from my hand
Don’t let the olive branch fall from my hand
Don’t let the olive branch fall from my hand
Don’t let the olive branch fall from my hand
Don’t let the olive branch fall from my hand
Since 1948, how many thousands of martyrs
And how many wounded and imprisoned
Offered in sacrifice
For how long shall my people remain
Refugee in its own homeland
How long before we can end
all this suffering and all this pain
Shall we ever see again our peaceful Jerusalem
Don’t let the olive branch fall from my hand
Don’t let the olive branch fall from my hand
Don’t let the olive branch fall from my hand
Don’t let the olive branch fall from my hand
All lovers of freedom and justice
would understand me
All we wanna be :
We wanna be free ! We wanna be free !
We still stand up
And fight with utmost dignity
We’ll bring out our dream
Into a bright reality
So please …
Don’t let the olive branch fall from my hand
Don’t let the olive branch fall from my hand
Don’t let the olive branch fall from my hand
Don’t let the olive branch fall from my hand
My only struggle is for peace and justice
War is not my choice
I’ve come to you bearing an olive branch
And a freedom fighter’s gun
I really do not wish,
Even one drop of blood to be shed
So do not let the olive branch fall from my hand
Don’t let the olive branch fall from my hand
Don’t let the olive branch fall from my hand
Don’t let the olive branch fall from my hand
Don’t let the olive branch fall from my hand
Since 1948, how many thousands of martyrs
And how many wounded and imprisoned
Offered in sacrifice
For how long shall my people remain
Refugee in its own homeland
How long before we can end
all this suffering and all this pain
Shall we ever see again our peaceful Jerusalem
Don’t let the olive branch fall from my hand
Don’t let the olive branch fall from my hand
Don’t let the olive branch fall from my hand
Don’t let the olive branch fall from my hand
All lovers of freedom and justice
would understand me
All we wanna be :
We wanna be free ! We wanna be free !
We still stand up
And fight with utmost dignity
We’ll bring out our dream

So please …
Don’t let the olive branch fall from my hand
Don’t let the olive branch fall from my hand
Don’t let the olive branch fall from my hand
Don’t let the olive branch fall from my hand
