Ma Lkit...

Emel Mathlouthi is a Tunisian musician who often sings for freedom, thus the cause of Palestine became close to her heart. This song, Ma Lkit, “I could not find a single word,” was written and performed after the Israeli war on Gaza in 2014, which killed over 2,200 Palestinians including 531 children.

 “I could not find a place to close my eyes

I could not find a friend who will answer me

I could not find a wave to take me away

I could not find a single word to express my fears

I could not find a single melody to uproot hatred in people

I could not find my people, my family, my happiness, my way

I couldn’t find it

an spark to ignite my feelings

I could not find it ..”
