We are Finally Recording This Song in Studio

Lyrics & Translations

Hands Off #Syria ~ Hands Off #Iran
Hands Off #Afghanistan ~ Hands Off #Palestine

HEY governments, Stop killing our friends...

Hands Off Mali (Africa)
Hands off all the gold
Hands off all the oil
We know what you want

HEY governments, we love each other, we're connected and we're saying stop killing our friends

We are peaceful and we just wanna be free, everyone I know is crying, crying everyday

All we are saying is, what we are saying is, all that we're saying is: Stop killing our friends

Stop killing our friends in Baghdad, Beirut and Gaza
We want to hear the sound of children's laughter ringing through the plaza
Your mean bombs and your cheap shots
Your demonic media and your rotten thoughts
Could never stop us from being alive and in love!

We are Alive and in Love

Lyrics by: Lyndsay Bowes and Massoud Nayeri
Music: Lyndsay Bowes The Key Of H

اتركوا سوريا
اتركوا إيران
اتركوا أفغانستان
اتركوا فلسطين
يا حكومات الغرب ، اوقفو قتل أصدقائنا

اتركوا مالي
اتركوا كل الذهب
اتركوا النفط
نحن نعلم ما تريدون
نحن نحب بعضنا ، نحن متصلون و سنغني 'اوقفو قتل أصدقائنا'

نحن مسالمون و نريد أن نكون أحرارا و حسب
كل شخص أعرفه يبكي و يبكي كل يوم
كل ما نقوله هو
ما نقوله هو
كل الذي نقوله هو
'أوقفو قتل أصدقائنا'

أوقفو قتل أصدقائنا في بغداد و بيروت و غزة
نحن نريد سماع ضحكات الأطفال الرنانة في البلازا
قذائفكم الدنيئة و كل الضربات الغادرة
إعلامكم الشيطاني و أفكاركم العفنة القذرة
لن يوقفونا أبدا عن كوننا أحياء و محبين

نحن أحياء و محبون
نحن أحياء و محبون
نحن أحياء و محبون..

Ôte tes mains de la Syrie
Ôte tes mains de l'Iran
Ôte tes mains de l'Afghanistan
Ôte tes mains de la Palestine

Gouvernements de l'ouest, arrêtez
de tuer nos amis.

Ôte tes mains du Mali
Ôte tes mains de l'or
Ôte tes mains du pétrole
Nous savons ce que vous voulez

Gouvernements de l'ouest, nous nous
aimons les uns les autres, nous sommes
unie, nous disons, arrêtez de tuer nos
amis

Nous sommes pacifiques, nous voulons seulement
être libre, tout le monde que je connais
pleure, pleure chaque jours

Tout ce que nous disons est, ce que nous disons est,
tout ce que nous disons est : Arrêtez de tuer nos amis

Arrêtez de tuer nos amis à
Baghdad, Beirut et Gaza
Nous voulons entendre le son du rire des enfants résonner
à travers la place
Vos bombes traîtres et vos
coups bas
Vos médias démoniaques et vos
pensées pourrîtes
Ne nous arrêterons jamais d'être
vivant et en amour !

Nous sommes vivants et en amour

Quita tus manos de Syria.
Quita tus manos de Iran.
Quita tus manos de Afghanistan.
Quita tus manos de Palestina.

Gobiernos, dejen de matar a nuestros amigos.

Quita tus manos del Malí,
Quita tus manos del oro,
Quita tus manos del petroleo.
Sabemos lo que quieres.

Gobiernos, nosotros nos amamos unos a los otros, estamos conectados y decimos, deja de matar a nuestros amigos!

Somos pacíficos y solo queremos ser liberes.
Todos los que conozco lloran, lloran todos los dias.
Todo lo que decimos, lo que decimos es, dejen de matar a nuestros amigos.

Dejen de matar a nuestros amigos en Baghdad, Beirut y Gaza. Queremos escuchar las risas de los niños en la plaza.
Tus sus horribles bombas, sus balas baratas.
Tu media demonizada y tus pensamientos podridos, nunca nos pararan de estar vivos y enamorados.
Estamos vivos y enamorados!

دست درازی به سوریه ممنوع
دست درازی به ایران ممنوع
دست درازی به افغانستان ممنوع
دست درازی به فلسطین ممنوع

دولت های غربی، ریختن خون وکشتن دوستان ما را متوقف کنید
دست درازی به مالی ممنوع
دست بکشید از غارت کردن طلا
دست بکشید از غارت نفت
ما می دانیم شما دنبال چی هستید

دولت های غربی، ما انسان دوستان، با هم متصلیم ما اشغال منطقه را محکوم میکنیم و میخواهیم به این کشتار پایان دهید

ما فقط صلح میخواهیم, ما فقط می خواهم آزاد باشیم، هر انسان شرافتمندانی به این موضوع میگرید

همه ما خواستار توقف کشتار دوستان و برادان و خواهرانمان هستیم
کشتار دوستان ما در بغداد، بیروت و غزه متوقف کنید

ما میخواهیم یک بار دیگر صدای زنگ خنده بچه ها در میادین شهر بپیچد
رسانه های شیطانی وافکار فاسد شما
هرگز قادر به توقف عشق به زندگی نیست

ما زنده در عشقیم

First off Hats Off to Miss @lyndsaybowes on providing such a touting blog with full of emotions, and finally recorded a very excellent song for people to create awareness. I remembered that last time you wrote an Article on Iran and you didn't accept the rewards on that post.
Lyrics in various languages shows your intelligence that how to spread the word.
You really impressed me with your voice and guitar. I love your voice and also the lyrics. Actually you're so amazing. You have felt the pain of those people who are killing without any reason. I wish your voice reach at the level where authorities order to stop the war.
I personally don't like war. So let's hope for the best.
All the best @lyndsaybowes for your great efforts and Stay Blessed!

These lyrics are exceptional:

Hands Off #Syria ~ Hands Off #Iran
Hands Off #Afghanistan ~ Hands Off #Palestine
HEY governments, Stop killing our friends...

Hands Off Mali (Africa)
Hands off all the gold
Hands off all the oil
We know what you want

HEY governments, we love each other, we're connected and we're saying stop killing our friends

We are peaceful and we just wanna be free, everyone I know is crying, crying everyday

This is my favourite song! It's so powerful, it always gives me chills. I've shown it to many friends since I first seen it on facebook years ago. I'm so happy to hear you are recording it! Also awesome I can add this youtube version to my playlists :D Such a great idea getting everyone involved. I'm not good with lyrics but I have a message to add

End these foolish wars done in the name of Gold Oil & Drugs. I do not consent! I will not play this game. In Love we trust.

WE know too much, its all out there - there are no more excuses in treating others poorly or for giving our power away to the same parasitic forces.

NO ONE is free when others are enslaved. We must stop hurting ourselves if the world and humanity as a whole is to heal.

Thank you so much for this powerful contribution to the video! Your words resonate with me so much, I got goose bumps!!!! :) :) Much LOVE and RESPECT @wisewoof!! I love you WarriorSIS!

Awe Yeah! Grateful I can have that effect ^_^ Thankyou blush Much LOVE & RESPECT to you @lyndsaybowes!!! <33

Headphones on my head and i am listening to this pious song which is actually the voice of Innocence.
Yes, We deserve the Peace for ourselves, for our kids, for this Motherland.I shall condemn the brutality till my last breath. I condemn these criminal acts, I condemn the Hatred, I condemn the intolerance...

None can dare to stop us from spreading the Truth

We want to hear the sound of children's laughter ringing through the plaza
Your mean bombs and your cheap shots
Your demonic media and your rotten thoughts
Could never stop us from being alive and in love!

#Stop_Bombing_ the_Syria
#Stop_Brutality

Thanks so much for becoming the voice of human beings of Iran, Afghanistan, Syria, Palestine, Mali

Yes off course i want to become the part of this pious Video. Just let me know more about it @lyndsaybowes

I accidently click on the video button and believe me, I can't stop my tears. These lyrics and music is so heart touching. I have listened it 5 times. Mam @lyndsaybowes you really did a great job. I can do nothing for you in this regard but I think I must give you:

WOW ! This is truly amazing work !! Every words are powerful . You have amazing talent dear lady @lyndsaybowes ! Made me a fan of your !!

Exactly my friend ! They are real villain !!

Thank you @lyndsaybowes. You are very concerned about our brother in the middle east

I definitely want to send you my picture with the sign, and I will do it soon, but what I want to tell here is you have written some marvelous lines.
So true, we people are all connected by heart, we don't discriminate, we don't judge, we don't fight, we love each other, we always want to stand for each other, we are there in sorrow and joy for each other then why do these governments play their politics and divide people, make wars, kill people. Its a sad state, do we see a change? God Knows!!!

Thank you so much for feeling the truth of the lines. I really look forward to seeing your contribution to the video! Thank you for making a sign!! xoxo <3 One Love!

Hope you don't mind my "Justice For Jack" shirt, but it seemed right to me. Jack was not my friend. Everyone in his family is my friend now, but local deputies called him to an accident scene to euthanize his bull, then gunned him down in front of his family before I got to meet him. "Stop killing my friends" makes me want to add "before I get to know love them."

:'( <3 <3 Beautiful contribution....thank you so much....

this is really touching @lyndsaybowes, my best reggae artist "Joseph hill" if all the animals are not fighting each other , why are we really fighting, tribal war cant stop the problem,
i believe its not God's {Allah's} wish that his children should be fighting against each other.

we should learn to forget our differences and move on
you really play and sing so well , i love that

Thank you for Believing in Peace @chidiebereegbo!

yeah, it is necessary for peace to thrive in the society , when i watch the bombings on news station like aljezeera i feel bad , most especially the innocent children who end up dyeing for something they don't know about.
we pray the God{Allah} ,the beneficent and merciful brings an end to this one day .

have a nice day and keep it up, spread the message with your guitar and songs

<3 this will be really great my dear friends @hendrix22 , @lyndsaybowes , thanks for all the kind works that you guys are doing in this community and also for the whole world and peace and freedom!!

I am so happy to be music partners with you and Brendan! xoxo :) You guys are the best!! xoxoxoxoxox


Does this work? It took some creativity to get both me and the sign in one shot - no timer, no selfie stick, the cats don't work the camera... lol.

Wowowwww Love it, thank you so much Phoenix!!!

Hiiii @lyndsaybowes, "Stop Killing Our Friends"

Wonderful lyrics and a great song , and convey the message for peace very nicely and in unique way.

Hands Off #Syria ~ Hands Off #Iran
Hands Off #Afghanistan ~ Hands Off #Palestine
HEY governments, Stop killing our friends...
Hands Off Mali (Africa)
Hands off all the gold
Hands off all the oil
We know what you want

I appreciated your efforts for good cause.

Thank you for believing in this message @rabeel! xo

Thank you for this wonderful song.
Your message has reached everyone who has a humanistic circle
It is enough to kill innocents and to subvert a whole country under the pretext of terrorism
Enough destruction of the civilization of Mesopotamia and the Levant
All solidarity with these peoples suffering from oppression and subversion

fantastic post with beautiful voice & war is bad for every country .
please stop war stop war ,i agree with you.my country army fighting against terrorist,like Daish & so many other organizations .one year ago terrorist Attacked on one School & killed more than 150 people only one hour. i requested to united nation please stop war against innocent people .

Peace for all Beings, now. <3 <3 <3 Thank you for believing in Peace @humaima!

Stop killing-no more! Lyrics is so supportive as it's itself loudly saying for freedom.

Excellent idea inviting the Fam! 😎

It is bringing to mind Dylan's Subterrainian Homesick Blues video (although it may have been 8mm in that era) where he tosses cards containing the song 's lyrics.

That same thought ran through my head too :) xoxo

Finally found this post again, retweeted in @inmusicalterms' blog. Perusing sounds so much better than stalking. 😆

As requested.....

Darn, that seems cropped to me.... will work on it..... 😬

incredible postings and very touching hearts ... it is very dear our brothers in palestin, afghanistan,iran syiria ... they are sometimes killed without wrong and sin ... I really hope this bloodshed soon ends ...

Very emotional and powerful song. The message truly resonates with the listener. The world don't need wars and fighting -- what everyone needs is peace and lovin!

Oh my....yes, yes, yes!

Do you want people to try and sing parts of your song or just send photos with a peaceful message?

It would be very cool if people wanted to send us videos of themselves, if you want to only send a photo, that is really good too! :) Any contribution will be used!

Absolutely wonderful! Where shall I send the photo or video?

You can send to my email: [email protected] :)

Very insperational song , your voice is so calming’ We will start working on a sign for you guys tomorrow! 💜 Thank you for sharing!

That's awesome, thank you so much for contributing to this project, I really look forward to seeing your piece!!

You have such a beautiful soul @lyndsaybowes. You did a wonderful job on this song. I did catch your sons. Exquisite touch adding those lyrics in so many languages. Love ya bunch bowes family. <3

Profiting from other people's pain is a horrid thing and should not be in a modern world, but what greed and hate corrupts is so hard to make justice too.
I hope one day we will all be liberated from it.

This is simply beautiful. War is a business with nice profits. Stopping it means the war merchants would be without their billions. That is solely why it's hard to stop. Beautiful voice and thanks for sharing.

We do ALL deserve world peace. Love you so much for the awareness you bring. You are relentless in all the right ways....thank you <3

Killer project! I'm going to have to have a think about if there's anything I can contribute to support you guys! <3

Thanks @dayleeo!! We would love to have you in this!! xoxoxox

stop killing innocent people, stop the brutality, stop the murder, just live in peace, share love each other, stop hatering just love each other,

@lyndsaybowes - thank you for using your talent to to highlight Syria and all these other despicable and unlawful wars. I hope it can travel widely. Could you send it to people like Vanessa Beeley / Eva Bartlett via twitter as I don't know how. I have sent to Kevork at Syriana Analysis on his you tube. It will warm people's hearts to know others care about their plight and these 3 have great access. Followed. Respect x

Didn't know you sing! Beautiful voice! And wonderful message xoxo

❤ great job. Great message.

Alright we’ll make something!!! PEACE!!!! Great idea and love the collaboration.... I’ve got a few ideas cooking!!!

AWESOME!! Huge thanks to you and your clan!! xoxoxoxo We love you!!!

Looking forward to seeing the next video Lyndsay!

Thank you Julia! xoxo <3 <3

@lyndsaybows, Absolutely real inspiration song and you gave massive message to government please stopped wars against middle east countries from your post. Nice cutouts indeed and friends showing those worldwide through steemit. I guess your song giving to USA government. They always try to control any states use their any power.
To peoples don't need and find any war and try to protect world peace forever.

Great cause! Hopefully you'll deliver this message to as many people as possible :) Wars are never going to do any good for us.

I agree with you, I am included, every human being has the right to live freely, but some countries even do actions that are not commendable to children not berdausa. and I am sure you are a peace loving activist.

I am upvot and re steem a very sad and heartbreaking song may return all the lost spirit to all of us who listen to his gratitude

#save iran

#save syria
#save mali
