We repeatedly redesigned our stage set-up, worked with an incredible team of artists to design our stage visuals, and set off on the journey of a lifetime. Here’s a video for Tayf, a little glimpse of the magic you’ve shown us over the last year, which we’re trying to recount in 4 minutes and 28 seconds.

'S. Project, Skopje Conducted by: Oleg Kondratenko Orchestrated by: Dzijan Emin طيف (Ghost) غنيت مع كورس أشباح تحت رصاص مدينتي والدّبكات رقصتها تحِت ضوء إشارة السير لانتَشيت عالكهربا من نخاع العامود وصبّيت دموع النيون ع سواد العيون والطرابيش خذونا، عالحبوس عشان يخصونا، ويعملوا أوسام خيّطنا لهم أعلامنا من أكفان جثث الأصحاب، اللّي كانوا عالإعدام خبز الغراب بدأ ينمى منورث الأرض غدًا يامّا خبز الغراب بدأ ينمى منورث الأرض غدًا يامّا وقضّيت عمري مع حقّي مرْهون لأّحاسيسك (آه يا نوسك) وانمحيت من كِتب التاريخ كأنها تاريخك (وهويتك) بأوراكنا ترجمنالهم أبيات سافو وأبو نوّاس بلْسان الآهات على شراشف طرّزناها بالآهات الّي نشدناها بالمظاهرات خبز الغراب بدأ ينمى منورث الأرض غدًا يامّا خبز الغراب بدأ ينمى منورث الأرض غدًا يامّا علّيلِي كعبك بالغنا بعدها الأغاني ممكنة TAYF (GHOST) Showered with this city’s bullets, I chorused with ghosts Bathed by traffic lights, I danced our dabkeh Till i was high on the the marrow of the electric pole, And i poured tears - neon - on swollen pupils. Till the fezzes came to take us, to prisons, to castrate us, to make medallions. But we sewed flags from funeral shrouds (from friends on death row). The mushrooms have started to grow Tomorrow we inherit the earth The mushrooms have started to grow Tomorrow we inherit the earth My life spent; with rights mortgaged off to your sentiments My history erased from our books like they were yours to claim Our hips translated Sappho and Abu Nuwas in the tongue of oohs and aahs On bed sheets embroidered with the same oohs and aahs we chanted at the picket line. The mushrooms have started to grow Tomorrow we inherit the earth The mushrooms have started to grow Tomorrow we inherit the earth For now we still have songs; Sing with your highest heels on. ------------------ You can follow Mashrou' Leila at the following links: http://www.Mashrou3Leila.com http://facebook.com/Mashrou3Leila http://instagram.com/MashrouLeilagram https://twitter.com/Mashrou3Leila
