It's Peaceful سلمية

Amman - Jordan
Friday after another people kept going to the streets asking the government to stop the corruption and adopt reforms. Until this one Friday when the special forces of police attacked journalists and protesters, this awful treatment grabbed global attention to the uncontrollable violence against protesters. Here’s the New York Times report on ithttp://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/16/world/middleeast/16jordan.html?_r=1  
 I was truly disappointed with the painful event, therefore I decided to express my emotions and reflections on the happenings with a song named Selmeyyeh or Peaceful in English.

Arabic Lyrics:

سلمية

سلمية.. بنت حلال وأصلية      بدها تخلّف رجال جدية

 لا تربكها حرام بتعبر عنا هي.. سلمية

عم بتشد عودها       وإيدها بتفتحلك

اسمعها وشوفها        على مهلك 

بس لا تخوفها لا تكسفها      وجهّا لا تعلملها 

    بالمنقل لا تسفئها  

سلمية سلمية             مش ماخدة صفوف جانبية 

    حرّة كريمة وعقلانية

وإذا رأيك غير هيك    تعال وحاورها يا بي

سلمية

سلمية.. أحضنها افهما ولا تتسرع     عن سماع الرأي لا لا تتمنع

ولا لا تخونها لا تشتمها                معالمها لا تشوّهلها 

  من قدرها لا تحرمها 

سلمية.. سلمية.. سلمية

English Lyrics (Translation): 

It's Peaceful

Original and innocent   

Ambitious and serious 

Don't confuse the poor thing

It speaks for us.. peacefully 

It's growing strong with arms open

Hear it and see it, no pressure

But don't scare it don't embarrass it  

Don't deform it's face 

With guns don't resist it

Peaceful, it's peaceful 

Not taking any sides

Generous, free and rational 

And if you have another opinion

come an have a conversation with it 

Don't deprive it from it's destiny

It's peaceful, it's peaceful 

It's peaceful 

Embrace it, understand it and don't rush 

Don't avoid listening to the other opinion 

Don't consider it as betrayal 

Don't curse it neither deform it

My job title said "Content Manager and Head Of Audio"... Shall we believe everything being said to us?



There I was, with the golden mic in my hand and an inviting smile on my face, I had to get something special, felt like a mission... During the first day in Amman Stand-up Comedy Show, I stood behind Talasim's booth, welcoming people on the behalf of Talasim as a media sponsor for the event.

Here's a part of what I was doing.. Interviews with the comedians..
