Ramy Essam – Taty Taty

A song for this Super Tuesday. Translated lyrics below courtesy of Lyricstranslate.com

When you work so hard, and are worried about your nation’s welfare

Your work seems useless, because here only low people go up in status

Bow your head, bow it down, you are in a democratic homeland

When your hard work is not yours anymore, and the poverty shut down your way

You look around and you see him, either a thief or a drug addict

Bow your head, bow it down, you are in a democratic homeland

And when ignorant people are in front of you or above you, grabbing and dealing with your own matters

And your imam drives you to doomed destiny, drinking Socratic poison

Bow your head, bow it, you are in a democratic homeland

When your words are used as evidence against you, and when you hide your true religion inside your heart

And when I see humiliation in your eyes, let’s add your depression to mine

Bow your head, bow it down, you are in a democratic homeland

And when it’s protector becomes it’s thief, throwing his nation behind his back

Moving up and down while exploiting people’s rights constantly, supported by the army’s uniform

Bow your head, bow it, you are in a democratic homeland
