“Our sons plundered for their organs”
Source: IMMEC
Farwana: "All facts on the ground prove Swedish report correct"
by Saed Bannoura - IMEMC & AgenciesFormer
Palestinian detainee, researcher Abdul-Nasser Farwana, stated that all facts on the ground, since decades, prove that the Israeli occupation executed Palestinian detainees after they surrendered and refused to hand their bodies to their families. Hundreds of bodies were transferred to the families days, months or even years after the fact, and when the bodies were sent back, they were missing vital internal organs.

Farwana added that the Swedish report, written by Donald Boström and published by Aftonbladet Swedish paper, regarding illegal trafficking of body parts of Palestinians is directly connected to the execution of Palestinians after they surrendered to the army, and is connected with the arrest of 40 well-known figures, including Rabbis in New Jersey for money laundering and corruption, in a scheme that involved sales of Israeli kidneys in the US and other corruption rackets.
Farwana added that one of the illegal acts carried out by Israel is having secret detention facilities in which dozens of detainees were imprisoned and never heard of anymore. This is in addition to the “Numbers Graveyard” in which “unknown” Palestinian and Arab fighters are buried.
He said that Israel still denies it is holding hundreds of Palestinian and Arab fighter, and refuses to cooperate with the Red Cross on the issue.
The researcher added that Israel is the only state that had a policy of detaining the bodies of slain Arab and Palestinian fighters, and that some 300 fighters are buried in the numbers graveyard.
Hundreds of bodies were returned during prisoner-swap deals, including the latest swap-deal between Hezbollah and Israel in which some 200 bodies were moved to Lebanon.
Farwana further said that dozens of detainees died in Israeli prisons, some due to torture, and their bodies were not immediately sent to their families, but instead were moved to forensic center, and some of their body parts were removed before bodies were sent back to the Palestinians.
He said the Swedish paper said in its report that Palestinians youth were abducted by the Israeli army from their homes, were killed later on, and when their bodies were return, they were cut open and vital organs were missing.
Rabbi Levi Yitzhak Rosenberg, who was recently arrested in New York, is believed to be involved in illegal trade of organs, and that he sold Kidney to patients in the United States for 160.000 USD.
The Aftonbladet report placed the Israeli-Swedish relations at odds, and some Israel officials demanded Sweden to officially apologize, while other officials said that this report in part of the efforts to demonize Israel and the Jews.

Al-Qaradawi: Islamic Nation at Risk on Absence of Freedom and Justice
Heba Mustafa and Ahmed Al-Jendi, Islamonline - Egypt
Friday, August 21, 2009
In his statement to newspapers, Chairman of the World Federation of Muslim Scholars, Grand Imam Dr. Youssef Al-Qaradawi argued that the political, social and economic situation of the Arab and Islamic countries is appalling and comes as a natural result to the political despotism and absence of true freedom and principles of justice.
Sheikh Al Qaradawi, at the seminar, which was held yesterday at the Press Syndicate, stressed that the corruption and tyranny deeply penetrating the Muslim and Arab communities was of affecting democracy and justice. He questioned the possibility of dissolving power as an essential pre-requisite for safeguarding human freedom in Arab and Muslim societies, emphasizing strikes, protests and violence against children. Qaradawi stressed that "the growing interference of social security and the administrative and financial corruption was extensive in the Islamic societies all giving an impression that matters are getting worse and are on the brink of collapse.
"Arab and Islamic people’s stalemate is really in the excessive surrender mode with the nation"s enemies throwing away any effort in helping to bring and compromise on reform," Sheikh Al Qaradawi added. "They have the alternative of negotiation based upon a misunderstanding of the sacred texts and the violence and utilizing of weapons, indicating that the Holy Qur"an has been calling for jihad, but the peaceful means without doubt have the priority where peace is everlasting and war is exceptional with the noble principles of Islam and the abandonment of violence according to what Almighty Allah said (Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for Allah loveth not transgressors (Al-Baqara:190)."
Al Qaradawi referred to the US President Barack Obama’s speech, describing it as "nonsense," adding that "we welcome comprehensive and lasting peace, if it is based upon justice, giving all the land and rights back to its rightful owners. Not for normalization with the Zionist enemy because they strive hard to break the Palestinian popular resistance and their frequent manipulation. "These alleged persons can not grant us our liberty because all are rejected claims and we must adhere to the resistance."
The Symposium was moderated by the Second Director of Press Union our colleague Salah Abdel Maksoud and was attended by Rapporteur of the Civil Liberties Committee at the syndicate Mohammad Abdel Quddus and a large number of lovers and students of Yousef Alqaradawi.

Why I wear a Hijab?
Raseena Sherif, IkhwanWeb - United States
 Sunday, July 12, 2009
I was asked by a friend about why I wear a hijab. This is my answer.
You asked me ages ago why I wore the hijab. It was always somewhere in my mind - not necessarily always the back - that I should reply and I finally decided I wouldn’t put off your reply any longer, and therefore you shall have it.
Having grown up in a practising Muslim household, many things were just handed over to me. And having studied in an Islamic school all my life, consequently having an entirely Muslim circle of friends, I never questioned them. That was the way things were done in my little world, and it was therefore the way I did things too. The hijab was one of them. I grew up in it. Physically and also mentally. I think the question, or at least the one with the more interesting answer, is why I continue to wear the hijab even after having spent more than three years now, in Christian colleges, and with a friend circle that is largely non- Muslim.
There are many things I found in the hijab as I grew up. Things as varied as the convenience of not having to spend considerable amount of worry and time on my wardrobe and outside appearance, to philosophical, spiritual, and you might be surprised to hear this, but even feminist concepts that I feel proud to stand up for and show my belief in.
In wearing a hijab, a woman is identified by the things she does and the things she stands for, rather than her looks. Even as a woman, there are times when I have found myself identifying another woman by her looks, where I might ask “Oh, the one with the long hair?” In underplaying my looks, I force others to look for more in me.
My hijab saves me a lot of the time, effort, thought and worry that would otherwise go into my dress, my hair, my skin and my make up. I think it’s a pity that while theoretically looks aren’t supposed to matter, one must spend so much time and money on them. With the hijab, looking good means looking neat and the best part is that I get to stop where others begin.
As a teenager, I have seen girls go to large extents to look attractive to men. I have heard of an entire class getting their mums to pay for breast implant surgeries as graduation gifts. I have heard of girls hanging themselves because they weren’t invited to a prom. I think it is so demeaning to believe that your worth lies in the admiration of the opposite sex. I think you insult yourself by preening in front of them. People say the hijab is oppressing. I think being compelled, by society, or even worse, by your own mind, to confirm to external standards of beauty is oppression. Mental oppression. In the hijab, I find dignity and freedom.
Corporate circles are aware of power dressing concepts and how women feel that if they dress in certain ways, then they gain power and confidence. Does this mean that there are women out there who are learning that the way they look can earn them power? I guess in their ideology, we in the hijab are powerless. Maybe in the corporate world, the way you dress does give you power – I’m not arguing with the idea. I just don’t want to think of what happens to the self esteem of the people who believe in this theory when they grow old, or lose their beauty.
And honestly, look at the larger picture. In society, the more women are expected to look that way at work, the higher becomes the man’s standards of beauty for women. The more dissatisfied he becomes with “ordinary” women. I think dissatisfaction is where it all starts from – look at the number of broken relationships, broken people, broken homes! I hate to think we are breeding a collective idea in the minds of both men and women about what a “modern day” , “powerful”, “influential” woman is “supposed” to dress like, and subsequently, look like. Why power dressing? Whatever happened to the power of goodness, the power of ability? Isn’t society supposed to run on the power of love?
People say the hijab is “backward”. So I’m guessing I can find forward in the opposite. Hmm. In which industry does the focus lie on beauty, on desire and exposure? It’s the fashion industry! Starve yourself to get the right look, and once you get it, you can rule the world! If you die in the process, oh, how sad! Enjoy your short period of power, by the way, because tomorrow when you lose that figure of yours, you’re going to be dropped like a hot plate and no one is going to turn around and give you a second look. Personally, I think the hijab is fast forward.
I know someone who doesn’t really like the hijab, but finds it convenient to wear one when she’s traveling by bus. She’s saved the stares and the gropes. People wearing hijab find that men don’t mess with them as much when they’re in one. They’re given a decent amount of space when they’re walking down a side walk.
I can go on about the hijab and what it means to me, or what can be found in it. But the reason I wear it is none of them. In Islam, a person does a thing because her Lord asks her to. And because, she has faith. She believes. She believes in the Infinite Wisdom that the Creator of the universe would have. She believes that what comes from Him can be nothing less than the best. That does not translate to unthinking obedience.
In the Quran, we are repeatedly asked to use our brains, and to think for ourselves – not to evaluate everything God asks of us, but to establish for ourselves that there is only One God, Allah, and that the Quran and all that is in it cannot be from any other source than Him. But once you do come to that belief, as I have done, you also believe in His Infinite Wisdom. You don’t need any other source of advice, or knowledge – you have the Creator of the universe in front of you. To settle for a lower source doesn’t make sense. It results in, not blind obedience but faith. And from that point on, it is a spiritual journey.
We continue from there, trying to please Him by following His various injunctions. If He allows us to see the beauty and the wisdom behind them, that’s great. But those reasons do not then become the primary reasons for following those injunctions. The reason for doing what we do remains to please Him. And we feel good about pleasing Him, for we know that He is not a whimsical Lord. What pleases Him is what is good for humanity. Sometimes in so many more ways than we realize. In so many ways that it surprises us when we find another. And because we believe in accountability. That is the reason I wear the hijab.
Looking back now, at how I began to wear the hijab, I’m glad I did start the way I did. In spite of the fact that I prefer to find things out for myself, and hate taking things for granted, or doing things without really believing them. Because having started the way I did, to me, the hijab was always just another type of clothing.
I think about the kind of stereotypes people have about hijabs, and women who wear them, and I know that if I were left to discover the hijab for myself, it would have been tough for me to go beyond those stereotypes, to go back on all that I grew up hearing, seeing and believing, and to allow myself to actually see the hijab for what it is and its beauty. Having grown up wearing it, in a society that didn’t jump to conclusions about me because I did, or look at me like I was weird, I have always felt comfortable in it, and never thought of myself as any different from the rest. It was just my way of dressing. And with the stage for objective evaluation of that type of dressing set, I have come to love that way of dressing above others.
On the other hand, I know there are those that hate the hijab they wear. I feel bad for them – for the fact that they are forced to do something they don’t even understand, and the fact that they haven’t understood something so beautiful. However, I think the saddest part is that they are losing out on both the happiness they might have found in dressing the way they would have liked to, and the happiness they could have found in pleasing their Creator. It’s always our intentions that are considered and if you’re doing something only because you’re forced to, it doesn’t count. You might as well enjoy yourself living life the way you want to. And then if you are fortunate enough to find God for yourself, I think you are really lucky.
In fact, I feel bad for all those Islamic ideologies that are reduced to meaningless customs and traditions, and the joke that they have been allowed to become in the minds of people. Anyway, I won’t start on that or I shall go on for a couple more pages. I just want to ask you to make a distinction between actual Islamic ideology and the actions that one sees from some people born into Muslim households – especially the kind I heard you grew up with.
In the hijab, honestly, I feel blessed

'Cry, the Beloved Country'
Jaffa. The word itself conjures up images of warmth, comfort, beautiful sandy beaches and miles of blue-green sea and the smell of oranges mingled with the misty sea breeze. These are the sights and smells I always look forward to whenever I visit Jaffa, the beautiful city by the Mediterranean.
Palestinians pushed out of Jaffa by Israeli Irgun in 1948 (photo palestinechronicle.com)
Yesterday, my family and I made our first trip this summer to Jaffa's shores. The ride from Jerusalem is about an hour, with long stretches of highway along beautiful green and brown plains. Amazing how no matter the number of times I have made this trip, I still get the same sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. It is not just me. The rest of my family expressed the same sentiments – appreciation for the beauty of this country and sadness over its loss.
Jaffa, like all other Palestinian cities, towns and villages, fell to Jewish gangs and Israeli troops in the war of 1948. The majority of its Palestinian residents, under the bombardment and fighting and in fear of the massacres that had already swept the country, fled their homes for what they believed would be a few days. It has been 61 years since then.
Hence, no Palestinian can make the trip to Jaffa without remembering its history along with the overall history of Palestine. As we looked out the window at the rolling hills and the patchwork of brown, green and beige plains, our hearts filled with sadness. To us, this was Palestine, in all its grandeur.
Once we reached the beach, the feeling only got stronger. "These are the best parts of Palestine, and they are still not satisfied," was one comment. "All of this, and still, they want more, in Jerusalem, in more settlements in the West Bank. When will it stop?"
It is comments like these that make me realize just how complicated this conflict really is. Yes, the Palestinian leadership and people at large are resigned to the fact that should a Palestinian state be established it will be on 22 percent of its historical land. I have no doubt in my mind that should an independent and sovereign state be founded in the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem, Israel and Palestine could live in complete peace and security. However, having said this, it is also unrealistic to believe that even though a political settlement is reached, the emotional wounds would automatically heal. Places like Jaffa, or Haifa, Lod or Ramleh all bear these scars, harboring the pain of a people who are no longer there but who refuse to erase their memories all the same.
The Arab character of Jaffa is unmistakable regardless of the Israeli mask that shrouds it. The old Jaffa Sea Mosque overlooks the Mediterranean, with its stone structure and character minaret. Throughout the streets of the city, archaic Arab houses and buildings give evidence to a time before the invasion of characterless urban architecture or large blue and white Israeli flags hanging from Palestinian terraces. There are houses that have remained nearly untouched, weeds stubbornly growing out of the cracks and windows still protected by old iron bars. The only difference is that now, the inhabitants are not dressed in long Palestinian dresses, nor does the smell of freshly stone-baked bread waft out from the windows. Instead Israeli Jews, most likely from Europe, the US or the former USSR have settled here, indifferent to the original story it tells, to the people who still hold its key and dream of its orange trees.
Because of these stories, which are both individual and collective and have preoccupied the minds of the Palestinians for decades, each year on the same day Palestinians remember the catastrophe that befell them. May 15 marks Al Nakba commemoration day, when we recall the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who were massacred or became refugees literally overnight. For us, this is not a celebration of Israel's independence. It is a day of mourning and of remembrance. In demonstrations and marches throughout the West Bank, Gaza, inside Israel and refugee camps abroad, Palestinians took to the streets to protest the ongoing injustice of exile, which Israel refuses to recognize. Some of the most heartfelt images were those of children, descendants of refugees, who carried placards with the names of their original villages proudly above their heads. These are children who grew up in refugee camps and were weaned on the stories of their parents or grandparents whose villages were either destroyed or re-inhabited by Jewish newcomers. Most have never even set foot inside the Green Line, have never seen Jaffa's seashore or the old houses where their grandparents once lived. Still, they can recount the stories of their ancestors' exile word for word.
In the midst of this ongoing tragedy and the constantly changing political perimeters, the memory of our exile and the loss of our land are indelible in our minds. It is my suspicion that this is one of Israel's biggest fears. As long as there are those who remind the world of how Israel was created and at whose expense, it can never fully gain recognition as a democratic and free country.
Evidence of this is the newest bill being proposed in the Knesset, which has received preliminary approval. The proposal, first brought forth by none other than Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman and MK Alex Miller, seeks to ban and criminalize any commemoration of Al Nakba, with a punishment of up to three years imprisonment. According to Lieberman, the Palestinian-Israelis who commemorate the tragedy and loss of their own villages in the 1948 War is "incitement" against Israel and should be punished accordingly.
What Israel does not realize is that they cannot imprison hearts and minds. I am not a refugee. I do not have stories of my grandparents carrying their personal belongings on their backs for miles. Nonetheless, the sign marked "Castel" on the Jerusalem-Tel Aviv highway always pulls at my heartstrings and a pang of sorrow rushes through my veins. One of Palestine's most heroic leaders, Abdul Qader Husseini, fought valiantly in the Battle of Al Qastal (Castel) in 1948 and was killed there defending Jerusalem. And still, when I see Israeli flags over homes that are clearly Palestinian on the streets of Jaffa, this beloved city, I too cringe and then make a promise to myself never to forget.

Salam,
Pada tahun 1917-18, pernah berlaku satu pandemic, Spanish flu yang menyebabkan 20 hingga 100 juta kematian hasil daripada satu jenis flu virus, iaitu H1N1. Pandemic flu virus selalunya ada kesannya yang tertentu iaitu, pantas merebak, tinggi tahap kematian, dan golongan muda dan sihat juga golongan yang tinggi jumlah kematian. Influenza, atau demam selsema adalah merbahaya kepada golongan tua dan kanak-kanak kerana boleh menyebabkan pneumonia yang boleh membawa kepada kematian. Spanish flu, pada waktu itu mempunyai tahap kematian yang luar biasa dan tinggi penyebaran virus tanpa mengira tempat dan golongan. Dan paling mengejutkan golongan muda dan sihat juga menjadi korban utama.
Kini, dunia sekali lagi digemparkan oleh kehadiran “swine flu” yang mula-mula disangka virus flu yang merebak dari khinzir kepada manusia. Tetapi setelah kajian teliti dilakukan, virus flu tahun ini mempunyai cirri genetik yang sama dengan virus Spanish flu, H1N1 dulu. Lebih menakutkan, jenis virus ini dipercayai hasil campuran 4 jenis virus flu yang datang daripada manusia (1), burung (1) dan khinzir (2). Tambahan pula, kesan virus H1N1 kini lebih merupai Spanish flu, di mana tinggi tahap penyebaran dan golongan muda dan sihat menjadi sasaran. Walaupun, tahap kematian masih seperti kesan influenza biasa, tetapi siapakah yang tahu, semakin lama virus itu berada dalam badan manusia, semakin tinggi kemungkinan untuk ia mengadaptasi dan menjadi lebih berbahaya. Sejarah lama mungkin berulang….
Bagi seorang muslim, adalah sangat penting untuk dirinya peka dan faham, apakah fenomena ini. Ketahuilah, betapa agungnya Allah SWT, bagaimana ciptaanNya yang halus boleh menyebabkan manusia terumbang-ambing dan tidur dalam ketakutan. Dia Yang Maha Hebat, tidak perlu untuk menggerakkan keseluruhan bala tenteraNya, cukup sekadar sentuhan mampu menggoncangkan kemegahan teknologi dan kemajuan ciptaan manusia. Betapa kerdilnya manusia, itulah hakikat pertama yang patut kita fahami, siapakah yang berkuasa, dan siapakah hamba?
Bagaimana penerimaan kita tentang sesuatu fenomena penting kerana ia menentukan tindakan kita dan sekaligus menentukan jalan yang akan kita lalui selepasnya. Banyak perkara yang boleh mempengaruhi penerimaan kita, tetapi yang utama adalah ilmu, dzatiyyah diri, dan juga bi’ah. Kita semua pasti tahu, ilmu adalah asas tindakan kita, samada sesuatu itu baik atau buruk, diketahui melalui ilmu. Namun, sebanyak mana ilmu itu, ianya sia-sia jika dzatiyyah diri tiada untuk melahirkan ilmu itu kepada tindakan. Begitu juga, bi’ah yang menjadi pemangkin untuk tindakan itu lahir, kerana kekuatan diri boleh lahir daripada sokongan sekeliling.
Oleh itu, adalah penting bagi seseorang muslim itu peka, adakah fenomena ini suatu hukuman/azab? Ataupun ianya satu musibah/ujian?
Fenomena H1N1 itu selalunya dikaitkan dengan azab atau hukuman. Sejarah tamadun manusia yang dirakamkan dalam Al-Quranul Karim, kaum-kaum yang terdahulu diazabkan di dunia lagi kerana keangkuhan dan maksiat yang dilakukan. Dihantarkan air bah, halilintar, penyakit, diterbalikkan bumi dan dihancurkan mereka dan diwariskan bumi ini kepada golongan seterusnya menggantikan mereka.
“Dan betapa banyak umat yang telah Kami binasakan sebelum mereka, (padahal) mereka lebih hebat kekuatannya daripada mereka (umat yang belakangan) ini. Mereka pernah menjelajah di beberapa negeri. Adakah tempat pelarian (dari kebinasaan bagi mereka)?” (50:36)
Adakah sejarah ini hanya sekadar cerita dongeng yang berlaku dulu dan tidak mungkin berlaku kini? Kita perlu faham, azab yang melanda mereka yang terdahulu adalah tidak mustahil untuk ia menimpa kita. Mengapakah Al-Quran menceritakan kisah mereka kepada kita? Ianya untuk kita mengambil peringatan, bala/azab ini boleh menimpa kamu jika kamu melakukan kesalahan yang sama. Inilah sunnahtullah, peraturan yang telah Allah SWT tetapkan.
"Maka Kami jadikan yang demikian itu peringatan bagi orang-orang di masa itu, dan bagi mereka yang datang kemudian, serta menjadi pelajaran bagi orang-orang yang bertakwa."(2:66)
Hanya mereka yang mukmin sahaja akan diselamatkanNya. Itulah kesudahannya. Pelajaran untuk kita, dengan fenomena H1N1 ini, kepada siapakah pertolongan mahu dipinta? Adakah kita mahu menjadi golongan yang diselamatkanNya? Berbalik lah semua pertanyaan itu kepada Dia, Allah SWT, Tuhan Sekalian Alam.
Selain itu, fenomena H1N1 juga dilihat sebagai musibah/ujian, satu rahmat dari Ilahi. Ini adalah keistimewaan orang muslim. Hanya muslim yang dididik dengan pengajaran ini. Setiap yang berlaku adalah ujian Allah SWT, untuk memisahkan mukmin daripada yang lain, ianya ketetapan yang telah diputuskan. Sabar dan redha yang lahir daripada iman menjadi kunci kejayaan dalam ujian ini. Betapa hebatnya didikan ini, yang boleh menghasilkan manusia yang kental dzatiyyahnya, mampu tersenyum, bersyukur ketika ujian melanda, dan tidak berputus asa sekali pun.
“Setiap bencana yang menimpa di bumi dan yang menimpa dirimu sendiri, semuanya telah tertulis dalam kitab sebelum Kami mewujudkannya. Sungguh, yang demikian itu mudah bagi Allah, Agar kamu tidak bersedih hati terhadap apa yang luput dari kamu, dan tidak pula terlalu gembira terhadap apa yang diberikanNya kepadamu. Dan Allah tidak menyukai setiap orang yang sombong dan membanggakan diri” (57:22-23)
Tindakan yang lahir daripada mukmin ini adalah luar biasa dari norma manusia biasa, kerasionalan tindakan, kekuatan jiwa dan iman tampil mengemudikan sekelilingnya bagi memastikan tindakan yang lahir lebih baik untuk semua. Mereka tanpa sedikit pun syak wasangka kepadaNya, bahkan mengharapkan kasih sayangNya agar mendapat pengakhiran yang terbaik.
Oleh itu, setelah memahami hakikat fenomena ini, apakah tindakan kita?
Tiada yang lebih baik daripada berbalik semula kepada Allah SWT. Jadikan diri lebih baik daripada semalam, perbaiki jiwa kita, tingkatkan iman, perbanyakkan doa, ibadah dan amal, agar diri lebih bersedia menghadapi ujian ini. Itulah sunnahtullah yang ditetapkan olehNya, sesungguhnya golongan mukmin yang diselamatkan.
Sunnahtullah yang ditetapkan olehNya juga menyatakan bahawa orang yang kuat yang akan menang. Oleh itu, Allah SWT menganugerahkan akal dan badan yang sihat kepada manusia, malah diberikan sistem immunasi iaitu kekuatan pertahanan semula jadi yang sesuai sebagai bekalan untuk menghadapi fenomena H1N1 kini yang melanda. Adalah menjadi tanggungjawab kita untuk menggunakan sepenuhnya bekalan kita, sihatkan tubuh badan, dan gunakan akal untuk mencari formula-formula ubat, tip-tip kesihatan demi menghadapi fenomena ini. Semoga dengan persediaan yang dilakukan akan membantu semasa perjuangan dan menghasilkan pengakhiran yang terbaik. Oleh itu bertawakal lah kita kepadaNya, serahkan segalanya kepada Allah SWT.
Wassalam.

Outlandish - Appreciation
As I got up this morning
U watched me and hoped I'd talk to U
Even if it was just a few words
Askin' your opinion,
Thankin' U for something good that happened, Lord
But U noticed I was too busy
Tryin' to find the right clothes matchin' with the right shoes and I
Ran around the house getting ready
U knew there would be minutes to stop and say hello
But I still I were too busy
And at one point I had to wait doing nuttin'
Then U saw me spring to my feet
Thought I wanted to talk
But I ran to the phone
Called a friend... Wassup!
Ok now it's time for us to talk
So I find and empty room but hesitation is in my heart
A look down the hall ...nobody there so I close the door
Take of my new jacket? Man I can't put this on the floor
I'm a have this conversation standin' or my jeans will get dirty
Better yet I'm a sit on this chair right here 'cause I feel a bit lazy
Almost forgot to pull the curtains so no one can look in
And just when I'm about to utter U some words
Someone steps in
Embarrassed by the moment
I jump up and come up with some stupid excuse
Like I was looking for something
All while U were watchin' me patiently
Ready to give more chances
With the hope
That eventually at some point I will speak to U
U give me so much
U wait all day for a nod
A prayer or a thought
A thankful part of my heart
To all my moros back home
All day workin' hard
Struggling all week
Every dawn standing tall
I know U noticed that before lunch I looked around
I felt embarrassed to talk to U
That is why I didn't bow my head
Glanced 3 or 4 tables over, saw some of my friends talking to U
But I did not, there is still more time left
Hope that I will talk to U yet, but I
Went home and seemed as if I had lots of things to do
After that what is on TV
Suddenly I felt too tired to talk to U
Fell asleep in no time without a thought for U
I know it's hard to have a one sided conversation
Well give me some days to try again and again and again
Pasé por enfrente de tu casa esta mañana muy temprano
No me dio ni por llamarte, saludarte lo cual es muy extraño
Ahora que la luz está apagada estoy pensando
Si sólo cuando yo lo necesito conversamos
O si sólo cuando temo me haces falta
A cada instante tu retrato está en mi espalda
Me equivoco en muchas de cosas
Y defectos tengo más de cien
Estoy luchando, tú lo sabes bien
[Translation]
I came by your house very early this morning
I didn't stop to call you or say hi, and that's quite strange
Now that the lights are out, I'm thinking
If we only talk when I need it
Or if I only miss you when I'm afraid
I always carry you on my bag
Any moment you're out of my sight
I make mistakes in so many ways and
Faults, I have more than 100
I'm Struggling, you know I am
Appreciatin' is something I be forgettin'
Every second, 24/7, I'm a forgetful servant, I gotta be prayin' though
Appreciatin', when suffering, calamities call,
My soul be hospitalized and all gonna be alright
To all my moros back home
All day workin' hard
Struggling all week
Every dawn standing tall
To all my moros sheddin' tears
Still greet with warm smiles
Patiently throughout the years
Give praise to the most high
To all my moros back home
All day workin' hard
Struggling all week
Every dawn standing tall
To all my moros sheddin' tears
Still greet with warm smiles
Patiently throughout the years
Give praise to the most high
[Chorus]
