MA T2ARREBLEH 3AL ZA3IM

Original lyrics by myself.

Original music taken from the movie Jules et Jim (song by Jeanne Moreau).

The lyrics depict the alienated mentality of a good number of Lebanese people who yet follow political and religious leaders blindly. Ma t2arrebleh 3al za3im means Do not touch my leader (ne touche pas à mon seigneur).

I WROTE THE LYRICS ON THE DAY THE EXCHANGE RATE FOR ONE U.S DOLLAR, IN THE MIDST OF HYPERINFLATION AND THE WORST ECONOMIC CRISIS LEBANON HAS EVER KNOWN, HAD REACHED 10,000 LBP. IT MADE ME BEYOND ANGRY AND FRUSTRATED BECAUSE THE POLITICAL REASONS BEHIND ALL THE MISERY ARE THE EPITOME OF ABSURDITY.

Update 3.8.2021: 1 $ = 20,900 LBP
