“Take my blood,” “We waved machine guns… We won’t relinquish our weapons” – songs at Fatah rally

Lyrics:

Stand on the Martyr’s grave, make sounds of joy, and read out verses of struggle

For Fatah does not forget the blood of its men

Visual: A child dressed in military uniform and wearing a keffiyeh (Arab headdress) around his neck is holding what appears to be a toy assault rifle. Member of Fatah’s Central Committee and Fatah Commissioner of Mobilization and Organization in Gaza, Ahmed Helles, is standing next to the boy.

Lyrics:

The Palestinian people – a revolution

A revolution against Zionism

It has carried its weapons and begun its struggle

Take, O revolution, and give to me –

Take my blood, and give me victories

…

I’m confronting you with my bullets

O my enemy, stop in front of me

and don’t cross

The Palestinian people – a revolution

A revolution against Zionism...

Make the stab, I’ll fire back

O my enemy, count your days

The revolution is behind you everywhere

None of us is sparing his blood

We have declared revolution

The Palestinian people – a revolution

A revolution against Zionism...

There’s no reconciliation and no submission

We’ll liberate Palestine with our weapons

The Palestinian people – a revolution

A revolution against Zionism...

Lyrics:

We waved DP machine guns and RPGs  

With our bullets we rushed to death and did not fear

We carried out the operation (i.e., terror attack) and returned…

The Martyrs’ blood illuminates our path

And we are loyal to the vow, O comrades…

Our vow to the revolution: We won’t relinquish our weapons.

Note:

The man standing next to the boy with the rifle at the Fatah anniversary rally, which was held in Gaza in 2020 is member of Fatah’s Central Committee and Fatah Commissioner of Mobilization and Organization in Gaza, Ahmed Helles.
