The Olive Branch

I am a rebel and freedom is my cause
My only struggle is for peace and justice
War is not my choice

I've come to you bearing an olive branch
And a freedom fighter's gun
I really do not wish even one drop of blood to be shed
So, do not let the olive branch fall from my hand

So, please
Don't let the olive branch fall from my hand (oh, no)
Don't let the olive branch fall from my hand (oh, yaga-yo)
Don't let the olive branch fall from my hand (oh, no)
Don't let the olive branch fall from my hand

Since 1948, how many thousands of martyrs
And how many wounded and imprisoned
Offered in sacrifice

For how long shall my people remain
Refugee in its own homeland
How long before we can end all this suffering and all this pain
Shall we ever see again our peaceful Jerusalem?

Don't let the olive branch fall from my hand (oh, no)
Don't let the olive branch fall from my hand (oh, yaga-yo)
Don't let the olive branch fall from my hand (oh, no)
Don't let the olive branch fall from my hand

All lovers of freedom and justice would understand me
All we wanna be, we wanna be free, we wanna be free!
We still stand up and fight with the utmost dignity
We'll bring out our dream into a bright reality

So, please
Don't let the olive branch fall from my hand (oh, no)
Don't let the olive branch fall from my hand (oh, yaga-yo)
Don't let the olive branch fall from my hand (oh, no)
Don't let the olive branch fall from my hand

Don't let it fall (the olive branch)
Don't let it fall, no
Don't let it fall, no-no-no-no-no-no

Don't let it fall
Don't let it fall, no
Don't let it fall, no-no-no-no-no-no

Don't let it fall (the olive branch)
Don't let it fall, no
Don't let it fall, no-no-no-no-no-no

Don't let it fall
Don't let it fall, no
Don't let it fall, no-no-no-no-no-no
