Mashrou' Leila

Mashrou’ Leila will lead the revolution

Songs made in my country never fought the system

They never expressed what the youth wanted

or how they really felt about themselves

But their songs make us dream to the Marrikh

They give us a connection to reality in Fasateen

They expressed what the society of spectacle is in only 3 minutes

We could think about our ex in Ala babu

We are able to remember our country in Lel watan

How we always live in a state of exile in **** El-Khandaq

Manipulations In a daily life in Taxi

Grief and tough love in Abdo

Evolution and infinite surrenders in Wa Nueid

The barriers of language and sexuality in Kalaam

The devastating stages of a separation in Bahr

The closeness of strangers in Habibi

They are The Doors of our generation

They made crowds go crazy just like The Rolling Stones

But at the same time they were pure and melancholic just like Jeff Buckley

Thank you for keeping us alive in dark days and heavy nights

Your music will always give us new and unfamiliar feelings
