about

Yuma is more than a song for me; it’s a life experience of mine that affected me during my time at the Seeds of Peace Educators Course, and it will continue to do so for many years to come. For me, Yuma combines pain and pleasure at the same time. I feel painful when I listen to this song, because it talks about injustice and how a person would prefer to be hit with daggers than to feel oppressed. On the other hand, singing this song at Seeds of Peace with amazing musicians from different countries and backgrounds, different cultures and religions, made me feel pleasure. I realized that with all of these differences, music and singing was the common language among us, and it felt more powerful to put aside all of our differences to work together in the spirit of love and peace.

lyrics

لارا عليان
يما مويل الهوا يما مويليا

ضرب الخناجر ولا حكم النذل فيا

ومشيت تحت الشتا والشتا رواني

والصيف لما أتى ولع من نيراني

بيضل عمري انفدى ندر للحرية

يما مويل

يا ليل صاح الندى يشهد على جراحي

وانسل جيش العدا من كل النواحي

واليل شاف الردى عم يتعلم بيا

يما مويل الهوا

بارودة الجبل أعلى من العالي

مفتح درب الأمل والأمل برجالي

يا شعبنا يا بطل أفديك بعينيا

يما مويل الهوا
