about

Guwwa means power or hello in my dialect. It’s a song about asking for forgiveness and trying to correct affairs after wronging somebody… someone who had helped me out in a big way. Power rests in our relationships with one another and this song tries to put a focus on the importance of taking care of others, speaking and acting truthfully.

Guwwa was born out of an experience where I burned a bridge and started to demonize myself. We eventually patched things up, but the song was written during a time when the person I wronged was not responding.

lyrics

VI
تصوّر نفسك واقف | واقف على حفّة | حفّة بلكونة | في هامش احلامك
الحق وكل ربعه | ما ينزعل منهم | استخلص لي حكمة من غلطة سوّيتها.

لمعة بعين رفيجي ودّه يقنعني | آمن في مستقبل أطيب من الحاضر
نقعني بالعدالة ادوّر على منارة | مدلي واير | بارقة امل

CH I
يا چذّاب | يا نصّاب
ضاع ضميرك ما سامحناك
مناسبة إعتذار | قوة | سلام | قوة | Goodbye

VII
Lead me with your beacon | Take me to the finish.
Trust is what I’m seeking | Tough to replenish.
Dig into the future | Good ol days burn to waste.
Throw them out the window | Help me rebuild my love

CH2
ملك الغابة طاح سوقه، انكسر
شفت چثة استنكار | قوة | سلام | قوة | Goodbye

BRIDGE
يا ويل يا ويل | يا قوم يا قوم | حرقت جسور عميقة | حرقت جذور مرموقة

يا فساد يا صغيرون
dangling from a balloon

ندمان
Adorable, deplorable, طلعت اخرطي
يا مخرب,
حقّكِ علي رحنا فيها رحنا فيها رحنا فيها

CH 3
ملك الغابة طاح حظّه انتهى
مسخرة بين الناس | قوة | سلام | قوة | چذّاب
