Copticdeacon

Hey everyone,
I don't know if anyone has heard this, it's a song I think Antoun made it starts after 2:47

I was wondering if someone could translate it into english and post the words here. Thank you!

It is a poem for the Pope named "Qasedat Abtal"=poem of Champions/Heros.
He wrote it a long time ago for all the martyrs of the Church...in the video they many parts of the original poem....i'll have most of it soon.

نُلُتمُ الأمجادَ في دنيا ودين
وهزأتُم بالطُغاة الملحدين
(لم تموتوا أيها الأبطال بل) 2
قد سكنتُم في سماءِ الخالدين.

لم يمت مَنْ قَدَمَ الروحَ على، مذبح الحق جريئا لا يلين.
لم يمت كل غريب ههنا، مر بالدنيا مرور الزائرين.
لم يمت مَنْ صار بإستشهاده، قدوة تبقى على مر السنين.
أيما قد كان داعي الموت لم، نستطيع حسبانكم في المائتين.
لم تموتوا أيها الأبطال بل، قد سكنتم في سماء الخالدين.

(القرار)

وبإيمان قوي قادر، يرجع الموتى ويشفي الضعفاء.
ألهِمونا بعض تقواكم فقد، أظلم الكون وقل الأتقياء.
وبقينا كُلَما نذكركم، يخفق القلب ويدعو في حنين.
لم تموتوا أيها الأبطال بل، قد سكنتم في سماء الخالدين

Refrain:
You received the glory in the world and through religion
And you mocked the atheist tyrants
(O Heroes, you have not died, but) 2
You have dwelt in the heaven of the immortals.

He did not die, who offered his spirit upon / the altar of truth, daring and unrelenting.
He did not die, a stranger here / who passed the world as the passage of visitors.
He did not die, who through his martyrdom, / became a role-model remaining on over the years.
Whatever the reason for death, we / cannot count them among the dead.
O Heroes, you have not died, but / You have dwelt in the heaven of the immortals.

(Refrain)

With strong faith it is possible / for the dead to return and the weak to be healed.
Inspire us with your godliness, for / the world has darkened and the godly ones decreased.
Whenever we remember you, / the heart beats and it seeks kindness.
O Heroes, you have not died, but / You have dwelt in the heaven of the immortals.

(Refrain)
