اكيد فى امل (THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE)
[Abazar Hamid was forced to leave Sudan for singing peace songs during its civil war and the Darfur conflict. I met him when I was working for freeDimensional in Cairo (Egypt) through a collaboration with the Townhouse Gallery called TADAMON (solidarity) that organized with Cairo’s various refugee communities. Cairo is where Abazar first went into exile. Over the years Abazar and I have kept up, and we’re now working on a safe (cultural) space project back in Khartoum. I love to hear him sing Bob Marley, and so the other day I asked him if he’s ever sang about HIV/AIDS. Of course he has … he sent us this song اكيد فى امل (THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE). Enjoy, xo Todd]
اكيد فى امل
THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE
مهما الدنيا تقسى عليك
ويضلم نورا فى عينيك
مد ايديك
اكيد حتصل
THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE
WHEN THE WORLD BECAME HARD ON YOU
AND DARKINS IT’S LIGHT ON YOU
REACH OUT YOUR HANDS FOR SURE YOU MAKE IT
WHEN YOU REMAIN IN US
AND WE REMAIN IN YOU
WORLD BECAME AHOME TO LIVE IN
NOT APLACE TO PERIC
WITH ALITTLE STRUGGLE
THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE
انت معانا ونحن معاك
ببقى العالم مكان لحياة ما مكان لهلاك
بشويه عمل
اكيد فى امل
