When rings the
bells of New Year
The stars will shine and the glasses will be lifted
A people,
In contrast to the rest of the world,
Its stars will not shine and its glasses will burst blood
A people,
In contrast to the rest of the world
Lives in the occupation jail, the predation and the intolerance
A people,
In contrast to the rest of the world
Its smiles, its hopes and its happiness are in another’s hands
A people,
The Palestinian People, is the only People which still lives under a foreign
occupation.
When your star could shine and you could lift your glass to receive the New
Year,
Think in the need to drink a toast the next year with the Palestinian People
in Freedom.
In the name of the Palestinian People and its Leadership, we send the wishes
of
Peace, Prosperity and Happiness.
Suhail Hani Daher Akel / 2003
