Ziad Medoukh * Palestine
Love is resistance in Palestine!
Sixty years of occupation and colonization, of confinement,
and of life in parentheses But sixty years of existence, of dignity,
and of love A reasonable love, a bold love,
A powerful love, a mature love An impressive love,
a love full of tenderness, A love in the time of apartheid In a martyred Palestine.
Your wonderful love melodiously sung by my pen
Refuse all injustice A beautiful symbol of perseverance
He resists like a whole admirable people
It's a beautiful hymn of hope
Full of freshness and sweetness.
Sweet love like the sweetness of the Gaza sea
Love fresh like the freshness of the rivers of Nablus
Solid love like the originality of the buildings of Jerusalem
Sincere love, like the nobility of our cause
Creative love like the peace of your minds True love,
like the goodness of your hearts. In harmony for half a century,
Long years of pink life even under pressure
You fervent lovers A lesson in selflessness and pride
Your love brings life to a dry land It's a rare rain in a harsh summer
It's a ray of sunshine in a monotonous winter

Princess and Prince of Palestine
You challenge the silence with your bravery
Create your love loud and clear
Enjoy this eternal love again Your hearts always revolt!
There is nothing more beautiful
Than to love each other in an occupied country
Where love is unwavering resistance.
A love that won't yield to despair
With strength and sincerity, continue to love each other
You like all your people, the sickly-optimists
Your love is mightier than their weapons and their horror
They haters of life and love They will fail to appease your beautiful souls!
It's a love that fights barbarism and absurdity
A Palestinian love, a reasonable love,
Who takes us away from hatred and anger
Love of life, love of the future,
Who don't care about walls and borders
Your love gives more resonance to my verses,
To my words, and my oriental poetry
Lover of life and country
A love that breaks blockade and isolation
It is happiness submerged in dignity!
Your smiles at this age is strength,
A cure for the wounds of oppression
Your love embodies the history of Palestine
Your love restores value to peace and justice
Your love a cry a vibrant voice bringer of hope
Which breaks the black chain of the occupier.
Your love even risky is an eternity of joy
A nostalgia, a song melody
An endless noble dream Magical plots of gold
A path to the moon and to the stars
A shadow that spreads its veils
On the wings of birds Your love is clean air to breathe
He erases the tears of our orphaned children.
Of your love exhales the perfume of patience
Of your love is displayed the sweetness of dignity
Your love is law, it is law Which expresses all our legitimate hopes.
Inescapable your love as the hope in Palestine.
Yes, love is beautiful, and in Palestine
it is very beautiful It is a beautiful and promising love.
Love in the time of colonization is resistance
A love that signs and persists!
He makes us free, despite the occupation
He will bring the dawn of our victory closer
And will open the door of peace
A light that shines on all our Palestine
