Lyrics: “Oh flying bird, circling around,
by Allah, oh traveling [bird], I burn with envy.
My country Palestine is beautiful.
Go to Jenin and bring me from its valley greetings to Nablus, Tulkarem and their soil.
Drink the water of Jaffa's port, don't forget Ramle (i.e., Israeli cities) and Ramallah.
Oh flying bird, circling around,
by Allah, oh traveling [bird], I burn with envy.
My country Palestine is beautiful.
Turn to Safed, and then to Tiberias, and send regards to the sea of Acre and Haifa (i.e., all Israeli cities).
Don't forget Nazareth, the Arab fortress, and tell Beit Shean (i.e., Israeli cities) about its people's return”

The song was performed at an event in Dubai organized by the Palestinian embassy there.
