Incha Allah

Salvatore Adamo

J'ai vu l'Orient dans son écrin

Avec la lune pour bannière

Et je comptais en un quatrain

Chanter au monde sa lumière

Mais quand j'ai vu Jérusalem

Coquelicot sur un rocher

J'ai entendu un requiem

Quand sur lui je me suis penché

Ne vois-tu pas Humble Chapelle

Toi qui murmures paix sur la terre

Que les oiseaux cachent de leurs ailes

Ces lettres de Feu Danger Frontière

Mais voici qu'après tant de haine

Fils d'Ismaël et fils d'Israël

Libèrent d'une main sereine

Une colombe dans le ciel

Inch'Allah, Inch'Allah, Inch'Allah, Inch'Allah

Et l'olivier retrouve son ombre

Sa tendre épouse, son amie

Qui reposait sur les décombres

Prisonnière en terre ennemie

Et par dessus les barbelés

Le papillon vole vers la rose

Hier on l'aurait répudié

Mais aujourd'hui, enfin il ose

Requiem pour les millions d'âmes

De ces enfants, ces femmes, ces hommes

Tombés des deux côtés du drame

Assez de sang, Salam, Shalom

Inch'Allah, Inch'Allah, Inch'Allah, Inch'Allah

English version:

I saw the Orient and its treasures

With the moon as a banner

And I intended in a few verses

To put its splendor into a song

But when I saw Jerusalem

Just like a red rose in the sand

I heard a silent requiem

When I held it in my hand

I found a chapel, I tried a prayer

But that's when the nightmare began

Even the birds flew away with fear

When they heard the sound of guns

And I could feel the weight of hatred

With Cries on both sides of the street

Oh Lord of love weren't you born here?

It's you I had just come to meet

Inch'Allah! Inch'Allah! God willing! Inch'Allah!

The olive tree wept for its shadow

Its tender love, tender wife

Who was lying on the ruins

On the other side of life

Trembling on the barbed wire

A butterfly was watching a flower

Thinking "People are so mad"

They'd kill me if I cross the border

Children of Ismaël and Israël

Before your whole land turns to hell

Why don't you try some steps together

Guided by a white dove in the sky

Inch'Allah! Inch'Allah! God willing! Inch'Allah!

Is our life a crucifixion?

Must we suffer through the years?

As we struggle for redemption

Washing blood away with tears

Oh yes I saw Jerusalem

Like a red rose in the sand

I always hear that requiem

Each time I hold it in my hand

Requiem for millions of souls

Of people lying in nameless tombs

In heaven there's room for them all

Now enough blood, Salam! Shalom!
