lyrics

Can't Come In

Verse-
Oh please open up your gates oh neighbor mine
Though theres nothin left to give you but this rhyme
Ain’t got no place to go,
we’re out here wandering in the cold
Haven’t got a nickel or a dime

Chorus
*Oh no you can’t come in.
We have only just enough for all our kin
Go on and move right along
Ain’t got nothin here that’s for you but this song
Ain’t got nothin here that’s for you but this song…*

Oh please open up your door oh cousin mine
Though I’ve nothin left to give you but my time
Well the labor of my hands,
I will lend to your demands
I just need a place to rest for me and mine

*chorus*

Bashar's verse-
بتأمل بالسما بسأل جيراني مين
بحمل شنتا فيها تراب لبعيد بروح
كل القصة من بيتي انا محروم

بتكبر الهموم لما الجرح يهوم
ومنتمرجح على امل خبز وملح يدوم

Translation-
(When war knocks at the door, where can I live?
I look at the sky, and I ask who my neighbors are.
I carry a suitcase full of dirt, and I go far away.
The whole story is I'm deprived of my home.

The worries get bigger, when the neighbor betrays.
And we swing on the hope
that the bread and salt will last)

So when someone comes a knockin at your door
If they’re tired or they’re hungry or they’re poor,
Well you know just what to do,
oh what you’d hope they’d do for you,
At least lay them down a pallet on your floor…

And tell them “Welcome in,
We have just more than enough for all our kin.
We know your road has been long,
So please sit with me and sing your favorite song
Oh please sing for me your very favorite song.”
