Today I’m posting something from Lebanon which is a part of the world who’s music we rarely visit, in fact we have neglected the world of Arab music in general. This I am led to believe is a song and video about the power women can wield to fight back against male dominated Arab society. It’s called Roman and it’s by Mashrou’ Leila.

I don't intend on swallowing your lies
The words will burn my throat
I don't intend on dissecting your intentions
Keep your tongue in it's cage
Keep the time that I gave you
and suffocate my self, what she was for you
But before you bury me
Tell me what was my price
Charge! (Upon them!)
Worms carve my body
and the earth embraces my skin
How could you sell me to the Romans?
Worms carve my body
and the earth embraces my skin
How could you sell me to the Romans?
Charge! (Upon them!)
How could you sell me to the Romans?
How have I lost you to the Romans?

I quite like this sound, & yes, women need to take back their lives, & men need to smarten up.

As I told you in my blurb above…it’s supposed to represent how women can unite in support of each other to combat and aim to change male dominance in Arab society.
@Marionville Well I read your intro but the men in it hardly looked willing and the women were only defiant by themselves. Do any Moslem countries give women any standing? I actually did not think Mohammed taught that.
@rogerbenham I can only tell you the information I have…the video is staged, the men are probably actors.
