Lebanese

Debke. Ya habibti.

Drums. My love.

Celebration for no reason

Joy for no reason

Speaking from the heart & body

My mom used to always tell me in Arabic,

“from the heart, from the heart”

I want to fight with flowers, fill up your soul

With color

Confuse you with love

Put you back in your body

When your mother speaks to you in her mother tongue

Why do you respond in English?

Do not speak over your mother like that

How disrespectful
