Lyrics translation:

Who am I, where am I from?
Don’t I have a nationality?
My ancestors are red flags
And golden liberation wars
Why do those stiff people
Find me strange?
My country’s wind is behind me
Forgotten like me
Even my land is in exile
Just like its people
I am an Arab but
The Arab world denies it
My land is an exile
Of endless mazes
I am a stranger, where am I from?
Traveling without an identity
I am without a homeland
But fooled by patriotism
