Music: Holm (A Dream) - Emel Mathlouthi Video shot by Emel Mathlouthi on phone.
English translation of the Arabic lyrics:
If I could close my eyes and the dreams take me by the hand, I would rise and fly in a new sky and I will forget my sorrows.
If I could travel in my imagination, I would build palaces and nights where love and my hopes can grow and we will erase the pain ..
A world in which you see people whose features,
are clouded by oppression, misery and suffering
from a bitter reality that destroys everything we build.
A world where you see rising walls of tyranny that crushes in us dreams and dreams
and reign darkness and greed in all hearts.
