"More than 50 years ago in Beirut, teenager Zeinab Shaath recorded a set of revolutionary folk music — the first English-language songs to lift up the Palestinian cause to the wider world. Inspired by Vietnam-era protest music from Bob Dylan and Joan Baez, “The Urgent Call of Palestine’’ record was intended to share the stories and messages of Palestinian resistance to an international audience."

Più di 50 anni fa a Beirut, l’adolescente Zeinab Shaath registrò un album di musica folk rivoluzionaria — le prime canzoni in lingua inglese a sostenere la causa palestinese di fronte al mondo. Ispirato alla musica di protesta dell’era del Vietnam di Bob Dylan e Joan Baez, il disco intitolato “The Urgent Call of Palestine” aveva lo scopo di condividere le storie e i messaggi della resistenza palestinese con un pubblico internazionale.

Palestine
Can't you hear the urgent call of Palestine?
Can't you hear the urgent call of Palestine? Palestine
Can't you hear the urgent call of Palestine?
Can't you hear the urgent call of Palestine? Palestine

Tormented, tortured, bruised and battered
And all her sons and daughters scattered

Can't you hear the sweet, sad voice of Palestine?
Can't you hear the sweet, sad voice of Palestine? Palestine

She whispers above the roars of the guns
Beckoning to all her daughters and sons

Can't you hear the agony of Palestine?
Can't you hear the agony of Palestine? Palestine

Liberation banner
Raise it high for Palestine
Let us do or die

Let us heed the urgent call of Palestine

L'APPELLO URGENTE DELLA PALESTINA

Non senti l'appello urgente della Palestina?
Non senti l'appello urgente della Palestina? Palestina
Non senti l'appello urgente della Palestina?
Non senti l'appello urgente della Palestina? Palestina

Tormentata, torturata, ferita e ammaccata
E tutti i suoi figli e le sue figlie disperse in esilio

Non senti la dolce, triste voce della Palestina?
Non senti la dolce, triste voce della Palestina? Palestina

Sussurra al di sopra dei ruggiti delle armi
Richiamando tutte le sue figlie, i suoi figli

Non senti l'agonia della Palestina?
Non senti l'agonia della Palestina? Palestina

La bandiera della Liberazione
tienila alta per la Palestina
Facciamo qualcosa o moriremo

Diamo ascolto all'appello urgente della Palestina
