Hey you tyrant oppressor

By Tunisian poet Abu El Kacem Chebbi Translated by Asma Azza - Tunis

Hey you tyrant oppressor!

Lover of darkness, enemy of life

You sneered at the soughs of an oppressed nation

And your hands are tainted with its blood

You marched spoiling the magic of existence

And sowing thorns on its hills

Slow down, don't be fooled by spring,

Clear weather and morning light

 For in the wide horizon there is dreadful darkness,

Roaring thunder, and hurling wind

Watch out! for you have uncovered the blazing embers

And he who sows thorns collects scars

 Behold! over there,

Where you harvested people's heads

And flowers of hope,

And soaked the earth's core with blood

And got it drunk on tears

You shall be swept away by the stream,

The stream of bloods

And you shall be consumed by the fire storm
