about
After many months of hard work, this is the first track from our first album, Brave As A Pigeon. Once we reach 100 downloads, we will release the next track! Help us out by sharing with your friends.
"Can't Come In" speaks to the paradox that refugees, immigrants, displaced and stateless people face in a world where goods, money, and weapons flow freely across borders but families and people seeking freedom, work, safety, and shelter are unwelcome.
lyrics
Oh please open up your door oh neighbor mine
though I've nothing left to give you but my time
I ain't got no place to go, I'm out here wandering in the cold
and I need a place to rest for me and mine
Oh no you can't come in
we have only just enough for all our kin
Go on move right along
ain't got nothing here that's for you but this song
ain't got nothing here that's for you but this song
Oh please open up your gate oh cousin mine
though I've nothing left to give you but this rhyme
with the labor of my hands oh I will lend to your demands
I just need a place to rest for me and mine
Oh no you can't come in
we have only just enough for all our kin
Go on move right along
ain't got nothing here that's for you but this song
ain't got nothing here that's for you but this song
Lamma el harb iddih ilbab ana biskon wen
bıtallah bilsamah bis el jirani min
bahmol shenta fiha trab libaid bruh
kilil ıssa min beyti ana mahrum
bitigbar ilehmum lemma eljar ichun
umnitmarjah allah amal chibz umilh yidum
bitigbar ilehmum lemma eljar ichun
umnitmarjah allah amal chibz umilh yihun
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.
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's been long
so please sit with me and sing your favorite song
oh please sit with me and sing your favorite song
