Mawtini .. Mawtini
March 13, 2008 | 4:34 amAll this buzz and articles about BAJO made me feel homesick too. Sitting in my office, i cracked up Ahmed Kaabour, Marcil Khalifeh. Somehow, i ended up on YouTube. Link after link, i found my self listening to Mawtini.
Mawtini-Mawtini could not be captured in words. Even though i have listened to it thousands of times already, even though i used to listen to it daily in our morning school queue, it still makes my body shiver once i listen to it. It manages to do that even without lyrics.
Here’s a nice video i found on YouTube, i like the different scenes. At first, i thought they are not all from Palestine, but then again i think that the ones i don’t recognize are from ‘48.
… and here’s Ahmad Kaabour’s fil dafa

On March 13, 2008 | 5:03 amI have to agree, I was about to write a reaction post about BAJD. It made me so homesick
Mawtini reminds me of my childhood and being lousy to memorise el onshoodeh then how basra3 ahli lool (terrible voice). Thanks for sharing, I loved them. And the scenes are bittwesweet but beautiful!!!!!
