This is Tania's first collaboration with the French label and band "Chinese Man Records". She wrote the lyrics to the song "Sakakeen" (produced by CMR) that is a satire on the revolution and its outcome in the Arab region. Listen here

Translated lyrics:

I have a constant revolution, it is in my blood

An old revolution, as old as my pain

A revolution against tyranny,

A revolution against darkness

A revolution against science,

A revolution against this system

I want to scream, left right and center

I want to flee, I need to take a stance

A revolution against poverty, a revolution against money

A revolution against thought, it poisoned my mind

I want a homeland, not just fiction

I want faith not just in a religion

A revolution of millions, a revolution of squares

A revolution of olives, a revolution of jasmines

A revolution of the hungry, a revolution of the pour

A revolution of bombs, a revolution of blades

A revolution against cinema, against TV

A revolution against my phone, the intelligence department

Against the alphabet and all the words

Against humanity and all the machines

Against the one who laundered his money with your sweat

Against the fake, claiming to be the original

Who is always hungry even though he devoured my plate

A revolution against my heart, and my way of love

A revolution against you and whoever put you in my way

A revolution against those on the ground and those in the bus

Against the Muslim fatwas and the Christian masses

A revolution of millions, a revolution of squares

A revolution of olives, a revolution of jasmines

A revolution of the hungry, a revolution of the poor

A revolution of bombs, a revolution of blades

A revolution against the world wide web

A revolution against me, look what I have become

A revolution against music, the streams and the views

Against bad taste, against fake news

I am for a revolution, I have been waiting for years

Tell me against what, tell me against who

I am for a revolution, I have been waiting for years

The list is so long, just tell me who to start with…
