Oh Hassen, I'm sad for you

Oh Hassen, I’m sad for you

Hassen Naserullah, the head of the Lebanese terrorism militia (Party of God), admitted that his group is fighting in Syria in support of Assad

By Tarif Youssef Agha

Oh Hassen, I’m sad for you

This is Syria, not Lebanon

This is Syria, not a picnic

You are either mistaken

Or you must be drunk

You will leave it in regret

You will leave it naked

Didn’t anyone tell you about Missaloon (Syrian heroic battle)?

Or about Hanano, Al-Kharrat and Sultan (Syrian historic independence fighters)

This is Syria, the land of free people

You will leave it, no matter how long you it takes you

You will leave, oh butcher

Not you alone, but with all the thugs

You will leave with Bashar

But also with Iran as well

He who steps on Syria with his foot

We will step on him with fire

If your sword is sharp

The sword of our people can cut iron

Our people who defeated state armies

Will not be scared of a blubberer

You and your party are weightless in our eyes

To us, you are like a feather facing a storm

Our revolution uncovered your lies, oh Hassen

Our revolution uncovered all the secrets

Oh Hassen, we thought that you are people of resistance

But we found out that you are, in war, just starters

And you, whom we thought a hero

We found out that you are a back-stabber

We, who in the war of July (2005)

Opened for you the heart and the house

But when the Syrian people needed you

You confronted them with a huge army

The big will always be big, as the little will always be little

And no matter how big the mouse becomes, it will always be a little mouse
