Emel Mathlouthi - Naci en Palestina



Born in Palestine

I have no place
I have no country
I have no homeland
With my fingers I make fire
and with my heart I sing for you
my heart's strings weep
I was born in Palestine
I was born in Palestine
I have no place
I have no country
I have no homeland

A beautiful song for Palestine by tunisian folk singer Emel Mathlouthi.

The song is based on a gypsy song "Nas Balamo" composed by greek singer Dionysis Tsaknis and sang in spanish by Remedios Silva Pisa as "Naci en Alamo".

Emel Mathlouthi was born in Tunis but speaks for a whole middle western culture. She carries in her voice the suffer of the oppressed people as well as their hopes and aims. Her heart is her mouth spreading through the air the spirit of freedom and wishes of happiness. She is one of the most representative voices of this era.
An era of changes and evolution.
