Original lyrics
Song for Syria
Cold darkness death,
Is what Syrians face everyday.
Nothing there is safe,
Even evils ran away.
In Syria babies die,
Before they're even born.
And the world is doing nothing,
While the killer asks who's turn...
لوحدنا بس عنا أمل
منآتل ومنصلي
ومهما طال الزمن
رح نبئى ورح بتفلي
In the oldest cities in the world,
People are dying for bread.
While leaders' useless words,
Lead to nothing but more dead.
Like the devil's dream of heaven,
They think that they will stay,
Our struggle is the rain,
Which will wash the dust away...
لوحدنا بس عنا أمل
منآتل ومنصلي
ومهما طال الزمن
رح نبئى ورح بتفلي...
We're alone but we have faith,
We fight and we pray.
No matter how long it takes,
You're going and we stay...

Hiva Maa Silia
Mokoa, po'uliloa, mate
Ko ia ai 'oku kaataki'i 'e he kau kakai 'i Silia
Hala ha me'a ai 'oku malu
Pea hola 'a e kovi mei ai
Mate valevale 'i Silia
Kimu'a 'o honau fa'ele
Pea 'ikai fai ha me'a 'a e kakai 'o Maamani
Lolotonga 'oku 'eke 'e he hiamatea he ko hai 'oku pau ke mate...
'Oku tokotaha kimautolu kae ma'u pe 'a mautolu 'a e tui
Kaataki'i 'akimautolu pea mau lotu
Ka neongo pe 'oku tolonga fefe ai
'E 'alu koe kae nofo pe heni 'akimautolu.
'I he ngaahi kolo motu'a 'aupito 'i Maamani
Mate he fiekai maa 'a e kakai
Lolotonga 'oku faka'aonga leanoa 'e he kautaki
Taki ia ki he me'anoa kae ai pe lahi 'a e kaumate
Hange ko e miji fakahevani 'o e tevolo
Nau pehe te nau nofo
Ko homau faingata'a ia ko e 'uha
'A ia 'e fufulu 'a e 'efu.
'Oku tokotaha kimautolu kae ma'u pe 'a mautolu 'a e tui
Kaataki'i 'akimautolu pea mau lotu
Ka neongo pe 'oku tolonga fefe ai
'E 'alu koe kae nofo pe heni 'akimautolu.
Tokotaha 'a mautolu kae ma'u pe 'e mautolu 'a e tui
Mau tau'i pea mau lotu
Neongo pe 'oku tolonga fefe ai
Te ke 'alu kae nofo pe 'a mautolu.
