Syrian Revolution Song يلا ارحل يا بشار

The Syrians have got some good chants going for their revolution. This one is really catchy and has a nice rhythm. It's called Get out, Bashar يلا ارحل يا بشار . It's a mix between song and chant really. They even insult Bashar's speech impediment! Low blow. Anyway, here we go. The sound quality of the recordings I found aren't that great. Here are other videos of the same song with variations: Chicago (this one is slower), 10 Downing Street. I've put the best one available here along with the lyrics and translation. There is also a vocab list at the bottom.

Vocabulary List:

• ارحل (irHal) - Get out, leave
• شرعية (shar'iyah) - legitimacy
• سقط (SaqaTa) - to fall
• تضرب (tuDrub) - literally "to hit", but used the way it is in the song it means like "screw you" or "to hell with you". Not as bad as a curse word, but not polite.
• طز (Tuz) - "Screw you". Saying طز فيك is like saying كس اختك but not as vulgar. It's like the difference between "screw you" and "fuck you" in English.
  
• مهدور (mahdoor) - worthless, no value. Saying Bashar's blood is worthless in Hamah (a Syrian city) means that no one values his life, meaning no one will be sad if he dies. The video says he is a wanted man in Hamah which is right too.
• مغفور (maghfoor) - forgiven
• همجي (hamaji) - barbaric, savage
