DAM, "Born Here", Hebrew/Arabic with English subtitles

Back


Palestinian rap group DAM (Da Arab MC's, or "blood" in Arabic and Hebrew) created this music video about the life of Palestinians in Israel. They're from Lod, a town between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, so they're Palestinians with Israeli citizenship (often called "Israeli Arabs"). They usually rap in Arabic, but they made a Hebrew version of this song with a music video to get their message out to the majority of Israelis who don't speak Arabic.

You find out more about them at .

I've always wanted a subtitled version, so I broke down and adapted the lyrics from their website, to create this. I think this is one of the most powerful rap songs out there.

See to see my extended comments on the video and its chorus.

Excellent work DAM! It was very important, I think, to ensure that you made a Hebrew version of this as well so as to reach a wider audience. Good luck with future shows and I look forward to seeing you on my campus soon :)

They are from Lod which is an israeli mixed Arab-Jewish city about 15 km southeast of Tel Aviv. Those artists are israeli citizens.
