Hannen Lyrics English Translation by Shkoon

The lyrics writer, Abdulabassit Al Sarout, mentions the pain of a people unsafe in their own homes. A key line, ‘Anyone who kills his own people is a traitor,’ echoes the song’s strong moral stand. Shkoon layers this sentiment with a melody that pulls at the heartstrings.
