My sister in her white dress

يا اختي

My sister

I brought your white dress

It’s your wedding day today

Ismael is waiting for his first kiss

But I’m not sure why you keep staring at me

Afraid or moments of jitter?

Don’t be silly

يا اختي

Wake up please it’s your wedding day

Here is your dress

Theres a red stain on it

But I’m sure you will still impress

I’ve heard about cold feet before marriage

But not a cold face or chest

Why do you seem so bitter

Is it fear or anxiety

يا اختي

Move please

Today’s not the day to be annoying me

Please sis.

I know it’s been loud here in Gaza

But playing dead on your wedding day

Seriously!

يا امي يا امي

Come wake up Sham! She’s still sleeping

يا اختي يا امي

Why isn’t anyone answering me

يا الله يا الله

Where is the humanity

يا الله يا الله

Help me dress my sister in her white dress

Today is her wedding day in Gaza

But no one is answering me.

يا الله يا الله

I’m so happy for her today. She is finally a bride I will dress her in her white

and set her out to be free
