DESCRIPTION:
TARABBAND - Ashofak Baden
Music by Gabriel Hermansson
Lyrics by Nadin Al Khalidi
A last minute conversation between a newly wedded couple, just few minutes before they were separated by the cruelty and force of war. This song is dedicated to them, where ever they are today.
She.. was forced to escape town just few minutes before the horrific occupation. He..had to stay with his old parents who wouldn't make it walking / escaping. The last thing the couple did before separating is taking a last photography of themselves.

Lyrics
" We'll meet later, some night
By the shore of Tigris river
And this empty piece of land has become two houses

The way to me is drawn on the photo
The history of my land is in the photo
The words of the pioneers are written on the photo
And your dear name is also written on the photo

My dream is to see my land blossom,
Wars and pain will be the past,
And the highest walls between us are torn down
That's my dream, my land in bloom

Then, we'll meet, some night
By the shore of Tigris
Where this empty space, this land, has become two houses

We'll meet later, some night
By the braids of Tigris
That day when this broken tree has become our homes

My words, my dear, are written on that photo
Don't wipe them away
They carry greetings within them,
If you forget, the photo will remind you

My dream is to see my land blossom,
Wars and pain will be a past,
And the highest walls between us are down
That's my dream, my land in bloom

Ave chela bedah - Water the land"
