As a Muslim Hijabi who lives in Lebanon, I can see myself in this video! I've never been to a metal concert, I was always afraid of being judged by people of my religion and other people. Well, not anymore, I am a practicing Muslim who believes in virtue, love, and peace! and I LOVE metal!! And yes! I'm one of those who are going to make this world a better place for all!
Lebanese people get all the concerts in the world, and you're afraid of people judging you? well guess what, wherever you go there are going to be people judging you, whatever religion they are, it's people like me who live in egypt that need metal concerts
Rayane El Masri I'm not a Muslim, but I'm a Christian, who also likes metal music and fond of Iranian underground culture, if you want contact me +79038209071
Because metal is one of those few things that unite everyone independent of background, nationality, belief or anything for that matter, and I'llaalways support that idea, if someone says some group don't belong in metal, I say that person is wrong, metal is for everyone, and we all unite in it.
I'm personally Christian, but Orphaned Land brings the best of Middle East. And I learned to respect everyone by listening to their music. Whether the person is believer or non believer, whether the person is LGBTQ or straight, whether the person is introvert or extrovert and whatever the skin color tree they might have, we're all human race. Thank you Orphaned Land. What religions couldn't do, metal does. It connects people on different level. 🤟
Religion , religare, to link. I am not a believer of any god(s) or godesse(s), but I believe in that universal link between people, and music is that link in my opinion / belief. It's been there since the dawn of time , it pleases any human being, no matter where he lives. Bring any song to any city / town / village / tribe on earth, you will find someone who like it ... but no one can rationnally explain why ?! People just love / want music composed / played by other distant-or-not fellow human being who sometimes (often?) don't speak our native tongue, don't play with the same instruments and still love it and don't know why. That is the link, that is the religion, that is the religare.
I’m an american Jew and we need this solidarity more than ever. Love my brothers and sisters in metal in Islam and the middle east. May we finally have peace.
Right now, this magnificent video makes me cry a lot. Things could be so easy, but they aren't unfortunately. Let's hope that one day Metal will succeed in uniting people, I can see the potential here for sure. 🥰
i'm a Palestinian and i just wanna say that i love this band that calls for peace let's fight with music.. not guns.. اني فلسطيني وأريد ان اقول انني احب هذه الفرقة التي تدعو للسلام لنتبارز بالموسيقى، ليس بالاسلحة אני פלסטיני ואני רק רוצה להגיד שאני אוהב את הלהקה הזאת שקוראת לשלום
Where exactly? I'm in Jerusalem. I'm into trance personally. Another type of music that brings us all together! But this video makes me want to go to a metal gig now...
Agree with you, but when I called Myrath, which btw I love, to come to Israel and play with orphaned land...so, even the musicians are not willing to fight only with music.
Glad to see you're still here and that you'll come back soon. I highly appreciate it, as the world is going crazy again. Peace on Israelis and Palestinians, and all others too.
same here. Religions are evil and wicked, but since they exist the only way towards peace and freedom is reforming them, Orphaned Land being a tiny actor of this reforming
Julia A. Batova I get what you’re saying, but I don’t think it’s necessarily fair to say religions are evil. Some people just need religion and it can be a force for good in their lives and for those around them. That said, there are plenty of people who use religion for their own selfish, disgusting goals. Religion can really only be as good or as evil as the person using it.
What? Atheists can't stand for peace among people of different backgrounds? Because I do and that happens to be OL's primary message. Of course, I could always just ask Kobi, Uri or Chen (or even Yossi, even though he's not in the band anymore). *shrug*
I am a Moroccan Muslim and I am proud of it. I do not know why Hebrew music attracts me with its words and melodies. I hope the world will live a happy life without the division of the earth and religion so that everyone can live in their independent existence. I hope he makes a concert in Morocco
Some hebrew music roots come from Ancient egypt, it has the same origin that some of the Arab and Persian music as well and very similar to Indian. Probably you heard about Maqamat.
Really cool how this is all written, video and song. Funny how despite all their differences, the 2 protagonists ended up in the same spot, facing their "Kreator"... ;)
Reading comments on Orphaned Land music videos gives me hope for all humanity. Go in peace, find thy faith, evolve thyself and *lose all hate.* So a heaven we may create.
Maybe I´m too emotional but this video, song and message made me cry. Thank you Orphaned Land for being a candle of peace in this polarised world.You are getting better in every new work. Peace from South America
I'd say you're not too emotional but the right amount of emotional. And the song has a powerful message, if it speaks and resonates with someone, I think, it shows a good character.
I am Cristian and as a Cristian I cannot know about the persecution that you lived in your religion and in your culture. But at the end there is a beautiful message in this song.

even here in europe many people believe this that metal is a bad thing... but there are so many great souls among the musicians that love peace and humanity like we do. its a uniting force more than anything! go on being awsome, mohammed!!!
mohammed alkhaldy , I do not mean to offend, but there is only one religion and it is Metal and it binds us all. Muslim, Jew, Christian, Buddhist, whatever... Metal unites us all. ٱلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ
The implication that the frum jewish guy and hijabi girl need to hide their love of metal from their co-religionists is unfortunate. Metal is a spiritual music. Nothing is more metal than crying out to God in the darkness.
these are tough times, but i appreciate who still is willing to build bridges and live in peace with each other! I just hope this nightmare ends soon, i wish fear and mutual violence just stopped for a while. Culture and discovery should then be enough to create bonds and friendships between the two cultures, and finally bring peace to that orphaned land.
Воистину Музыка объединяет людей, мне все равно какой человек Веры ,национальности и цвета кожи. Мы люди, мы слушаем Метал значит мы вместе..А Религия давно стала ширмой для политиков..разъединяя людей даже внутри одной конфессии..а Всевышний Он один и един..храни Он нас всех..
you'll never know who is the man next to you true story-i am a Juventus fan from Israel and i went with few of my friends to see a match, we had an Israeli flag so a few Moroccans came wanting harass us but when they found out we are Juventus fans they wanted to take a picture with us and Israeli and Morocco flags it was a few years ago, we tried to stay in touch but didn't work out
Exactly. I love this video, and the overall message in it, however it is sad that the characters don't share any dialogue, not even a look! Why is there no communication? The video in that sense merely transmits a message of tolerance, but without any contact, sort of like the old discourse of apartheid in the US "Yeah, sure blacks are ok, but only if we don't mingle". The closer they get to union is being in the same place (concert hall). It would be much more revolutionary if the characters were, at the very least, aware of each other, complicit. And I'm not even suggesting they become friends or lovers (too utopian?)! I know the spectre of violence is too large, and even peaceful coexistence is an incredible achievement, but also for me it looks like the video producers were too timorous of political correctness issues and hurting certain sensibilities.
For me the message is right on the mark. You never know who the person next to you is. You only see the outside character. It happend to me many times. When ever I pick hitchhikers, at one point along the way I put on Metal. On ocassion, the hitchhiker will start to headbang, and the road becomes much more fun. It's like seeing a man dressed in a buissines suit, not knowing he has tattoos under it.
Got the same feeling. The video is just all about "Metal makes us all brothers and sisters", and " Nothing wrong with being Metalheand and religious". Then at the end they act like two repressed people. "Hey I like Kreator too!" would have been nice.
I like the message. Though at the bus stop i would’ve liked to have seen these two start a conversation. They went to the same show, like the same bands. They should become friends. In my opinion religion separates, Metal unites.
@@AntonAdelson yeah, I thought that too. Both of them have to play a role in their everyday lifes and they're extremly carefull to not show anything out of this role. Only when they're alone - listening to metal or going to a metal concert - they feel free. Unfortunatelly, the society they're living in won't accept anything "out of the norms". Pretty sad, but that's reality for many people
This message is needed more than ever. It's heartbreaking to see neighbors killing each other. We look different but bleed the same. We worship different books but the message is the same. We segregate into tribes on either side of the fence, but the land is the same. Praying that madness and rage we are all swept in passes soon, and no parent has to bury their child again.💔
Sometimes a song has special double significance. This one, talking about "lifting the veil of shade forever" and "giving sight" just happened to come out at the same time my husband, who was left blind after a stroke earlier this year, had his first (and very successful) eye surgery. It's a wonderful feeling going through the emotions together after the partial sight has been returned to him. Both of us can hardly wait for the 2nd eye surgery (January). I know this is not the real point of the song, but still.. it will always have a special place in our hearts, for double reason - sight & unity! Thank you Orphaned Land & Hansi Kürsch for this masterpiece!! 🤘
Absolutely blown away by this song and the video. Such a universal message of love for music, the language of the Universe that we all speak and understand.
so son of a muslim family, i'm deeply rooted in the metal scene, i don't care what others say or think i'm a metalhead and live it. For me, metal means respect and fun. fortunately i live in germany. VIVA Wacken, download. You are the best keep it up
I grew up on a JW’s house. (I am not one of them) This video and song shakes me to the core. I felt this when I was little and teen. We love you Orphaned Land!
LIKE ORPHEUS Close my eyes, I cannot see Sudden blindness upon me This ray of light is so unknown From womb of darkness I am born Lift the veil of shade forever Like a candle that's within me I receive the gift of sight And rise! This life is a storm that rages on Fire, wind, the earth and sea are one I sing before you all like Orpheus with torch in hand The cave it still lies within Like a never ending sin Paint these walls with crimson light The phoenix now is taking flight Stare back to the abyss" Hades who rules there shall grant thee salvation" Like the snow that brings December I am the spark that sets the flame of truth alight And fight! And This Life is the pain of being born Man, child and woman all are one I sing before you all… Like Orpheus lyrics by kobi farhi
Yes. It's a good first step, but should not be the goal. The goal should be that not the metal aspect of their lives stays hidden, but that the religious part stays hidden. Belief and faith are a personal thing, something everyone has to investigate, argue, possibly find and practice by themselves. "Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful." ― Richard Dawkins
Ganz großes Kino. Selten berührt einen zur Musik so das Video und das was dahinter steht. Und so wieder eine Perle bei RUclips gefunden, auf die man sonst nicht aufmerksam geworden wäre.
A buddy of mine (real big guy, scary looking metalhead to most people looking from outside, but an absolute teddy bear once you talk to him) once said: "If you're a metalhead, you're family." And I absolutely believe him. Forget, race, nationality, religion, creed, gender, sexuality, background, etc. If you like metal, we are family. 🤘
Close my eyes I cannot see Sudden blindness upon me This ray of light is so unknown From womb of darkness I am born Lift the veil of shade forever Like a candle that's within me I receive the gift of sight And rise This life is a storm that rages on Fire wind the earth and sea are one I sing before you all like Orpheus with torch in hand The cave it still lies within Like a never ending sin Paint these walls with crimson light The phoenix now is taking flight "Stare back to the abyss Hades who rules there shall grant thee salvation" Like the snow that brings december I am the spark that sets the flame of truth alight And fight And this life is the pain of being born Man, child and woman all are one I sing before you all Like Orpheus
I am from Iraq ,being muslim doesn’t prevent me from listening to music ,I can pray ,commit to my religion and still listen to music since the content of it it doesn’t oppose my religion’s commandments,alhamdullah still I am not judged here
Amazing song, amazing message, amazing video. Kobi and Hansi's voices are gorgeous and they blend amazingly well together. Kreator's cameo is really fitting and, last but not least, the two "stars" of the video are just perfect (and she's a real beauty, with all due respect!). Thanks OL!
Fuck, I am in tears. Stop giving me warm fuzzy feelings inside, that's not brutal. This scene has a huge problem with racism, islamophobia and antisemitism. Thank you guys for standing up and fighting for what's right.
I visited Jerusalem on the at the beginning of this month. I swear this video is coming from a real story. I saw how they're living together. Don't believe everything you see ın the breaking news or whatever. Jews, Muslims, Christians... All are living this way. An unforgetable journey for me. Peace is not so far away, it's possible. Like this video ❤️
Wait before you hear saba Yisroel Dov Ber Odesser. Zatzal. He was a true tzaddiq. And i am a muslim who knows too much tanakh and talmud for his own good.
Metal music doesn't judge by religion nor color skin. As Manowar song said: "Warriors Of The World United" both jewish and muslim culture deserve respect. Just like christians or atheist.
It is. It says that religion and politics intentionally divide humanity into societies, but that music, art and culture unite us humans into one humanity. Metal is just one ray, one path of culture, and though it is one that I feel at home in, it is not the only and not the most important one. In a way, by being an anthem to music, art and culture, this song is also an anthem for metal and us metalheads!
Been an atheist since i was 15 (now 'im 32) and my opinion on god and religions are harsh but i have come to terms with the fact that people will always need something to believe, something supernatural that justifies everything around us. Orphaned Land is the type of band that the world need, what kind of band? a band that promotes UNITY despite our differences, a band that actually defies status quo with their music by shedding some light on the strings that CONNECTS us all... BRAVO ORPHANED LAND, JUST BRAVO
Spotify recommended this song, didn’t know the band before and maaaan I’m so grateful for that recommendation. This band is unique ..mixing metal with middle eastern style isn’t easy, but they have done it perfectly. Salute from Saudi Arabia
I come from China where the metal scene is absolutely rubbish and there are very few metalheads. I'm not religious but I feel it in this video. I stopped caring about being judged and shit. Reading these comments really makes me feel like it's a family being metalheads, whatever the country or religion. Thanks Orphaned Land for making this incredible music and video!
Greetings from Argentina. As an spiritual believer, and metal fan since birth, I'll always spread the words of love, respect and tolerance. Love is the same for all of us. Love is al we need. Cheers my brothers !
I'm an atheist, I really don't like religion, but I love and respect Kobi's vision and message with Orphaned Land. Peace and unity amongst all humans, no matter your beliefs. Also, Hansi's voice is just golden!
"and this life is the pain of being born man child ane woman are one" personally think these are some of the best lyrics of any band because they really do resonate and make you think beyond the music.
I am musically not the greatest fan of Orphaned Land, but the band has much to say and is one of the most important bands in these times. Here I have to say everything works great: music and video are fantastic. And yes, Hansi is cool, as ever.
Such an emotional song, I felt the knot in my throat; that is true... You can believe in what you want, as long as we humans live in peace, with each other, and also with nature. Greetings from Colombia.
I'm from Italy and I have to admit I love their sound, that particular atmosphere from middle-east that lurks inside your skin. And this song is just great!

I like the message. Though at the bus stop i would’ve liked to have seen these two start a conversation. They went to the same show, like the same bands. They should become friends. In my opinion religion separates, Metal unites.
Yes, like Satanists and anti-theists at metal concerts always welcome Christians with open arms.
atonewiththedust as long as they're not preaching, judging or harming others most metal heads welcome anyone.
I figured the point was that they didn't know they both were at the same concert.
@@AntonAdelson yeah, I thought that too. Both of them have to play a role in their everyday lifes and they're extremly carefull to not show anything out of this role. Only when they're alone - listening to metal or going to a metal concert - they feel free. Unfortunatelly, the society they're living in won't accept anything "out of the norms". Pretty sad, but that's reality for many people
This message is needed more than ever. It's heartbreaking to see neighbors killing each other. We look different but bleed the same. We worship different books but the message is the same. We segregate into tribes on either side of the fence, but the land is the same. Praying that madness and rage we are all swept in passes soon, and no parent has to bury their child again.💔
This album needs more recognition what a astrong message for all humanity
It was a surprise to hear my favorite power metal singer Hansi Kürsch in this song... The first time I listen to Orphaned Land and I'm loving it...
Sometimes a song has special double significance. This one, talking about "lifting the veil of shade forever" and "giving sight" just happened to come out at the same time my husband, who was left blind after a stroke earlier this year, had his first (and very successful) eye surgery. It's a wonderful feeling going through the emotions together after the partial sight has been returned to him. Both of us can hardly wait for the 2nd eye surgery (January).
I know this is not the real point of the song, but still.. it will always have a special place in our hearts, for double reason - sight & unity! Thank you Orphaned Land & Hansi Kürsch for this masterpiece!! 🤘
Absolutely blown away by this song and the video. Such a universal message of love for music, the language of the Universe that we all speak and understand.
so son of a muslim family, i'm deeply rooted in the metal scene, i don't care what others say or think i'm a metalhead and live it. For me, metal means respect and fun. fortunately i live in germany. VIVA Wacken, download. You are the best keep it up
cheers man! respect and fun should be for everyone no matter which origin, religion etc
So awesome they have footage of Kreator live. What a great video and message. Peace and prosperity to all! Metal forever!!!
We need peace, real peace with our selves and with others. Greetings from 🇪🇬 Egypt
I grew up on a JW’s house. (I am not one of them) This video and song shakes me to the core. I felt this when I was little and teen. We love you Orphaned Land!
When the music is good and the message is clear, u get goosebumps. Greetings from Malaysia!
LIKE ORPHEUS
Close my eyes, I cannot see
Sudden blindness upon me
This ray of light is so unknown
From womb of darkness I am born
Lift the veil of shade forever
Like a candle that's within me I receive the gift of sight
And rise!
This life is a storm that rages on
Fire, wind, the earth and sea are one
I sing before you all like Orpheus with torch in hand
The cave it still lies within
Like a never ending sin
Paint these walls with crimson light
The phoenix now is taking flight
Stare back to the abyss"
Hades who rules there shall grant thee salvation"
Like the snow that brings December
I am the spark that sets the flame of truth alight
And fight!
And This Life is the pain of being born
Man, child and woman all are one
I sing before you all…
Like Orpheus
lyrics by kobi farhi
I wish a second part with these two guys becoming friends 🤝
will be too "utopia" for both community
Yes. It's a good first step, but should not be the goal. The goal should be that not the metal aspect of their lives stays hidden, but that the religious part stays hidden. Belief and faith are a personal thing, something everyone has to investigate, argue, possibly find and practice by themselves.
"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful."
― Richard Dawkins
I expected they meet at the concert and wed
respect. from Thessaloniki Greece!!! respect to orphand land!!! all is one!!!!
All the love to Orphaned Land from Syria
Metal makes us free

5yrs later.. still a masterpiece!!!!
Music is the most beautiful religion
My metal brothers and sisters come from different faiths, continents and cultures. I respect you, in metal we are one!
I m muslim respect all othe religions and listen Metal!
Самая офигенная песня Орфанов, да ещё и суперский видеоклип! Огненный вокал Ханси плюс Креатор как вишенка на торте!! Браво, парни - вы Лучшие!!!
I am russian. Live in Lithuania. And I like metal. Metal is for everyone, everywhere.
Ganz großes Kino. Selten berührt einen zur Musik so das Video und das was dahinter steht. Und so wieder eine Perle bei RUclips gefunden, auf die man sonst nicht aufmerksam geworden wäre.
Shalom and salam.
Great story and song! 😉
Alhamdulillah!
Hallelujah!
May God lead His People. Ameen.
A buddy of mine (real big guy, scary looking metalhead to most people looking from outside, but an absolute teddy bear once you talk to him) once said: "If you're a metalhead, you're family." And I absolutely believe him. Forget, race, nationality, religion, creed, gender, sexuality, background, etc. If you like metal, we are family. 🤘
Still the best metal music video I've ever seen.
VERY POWERFUL! True metal
Ingenious and so relevant today.
Close my eyes I cannot see
Sudden blindness upon me
This ray of light is so unknown
From womb of darkness I am born
Lift the veil of shade forever
Like a candle that's within me I receive the gift of sight
And rise
This life is a storm that rages on
Fire wind the earth and sea are one
I sing before you all like Orpheus with torch in hand

Like a never ending sin
Paint these walls with crimson light
The phoenix now is taking flight

I am the spark that sets the flame of truth alight

And this life is the pain of being born
Man, child and woman all are one
I sing before you all

Thank you very much!! 🤘
I absolutely, unconditionally love the metaphor of the storm still raging the band uses.
I am from Iraq ,being muslim doesn’t prevent me from listening to music ,I can pray ,commit to my religion and still listen to music since the content of it it doesn’t oppose my religion’s commandments,alhamdullah still I am not judged here
which is awesome, because my wife and I met thanks to a Blind Guardian gig in 1998 :D Keep believing!
Amazing song, amazing message, amazing video. Kobi and Hansi's voices are gorgeous and they blend amazingly well together. Kreator's cameo is really fitting and, last but not least, the two "stars" of the video are just perfect (and she's a real beauty, with all due respect!). Thanks OL!
Fuck, I am in tears. Stop giving me warm fuzzy feelings inside, that's not brutal.
This scene has a huge problem with racism, islamophobia and antisemitism.
Thank you guys for standing up and fighting for what's right.
I visited Jerusalem on the at the beginning of this month. I swear this video is coming from a real story. I saw how they're living together. Don't believe everything you see ın the breaking news or whatever. Jews, Muslims, Christians... All are living this way. An unforgetable journey for me. Peace is not so far away, it's possible. Like this video ❤️
Metal, the uniting force of everyone who bothers to listen for more than 30 seconds.
I'm Jewish and love this amazing song
I'm a very simple man. I see the name Hansi Kursch and I watch it. Just found a new band to annoy my neighbors with
Just like me... never heard from this band before but "Hansi" is like a "certificate" for quality and power
Wait before you hear saba Yisroel Dov Ber Odesser. Zatzal. He was a true tzaddiq. And i am a muslim who knows too much tanakh and talmud for his own good.
Dancing on my ceiling is what I call it. 🥾👢🩰
Tenho um carinho muito grande por essa banda,não paro de ouvir,respeito as religiões e a todas nações da Terra
grato Orphaned Land ❤️
Metal music doesn't judge by religion nor color skin. As Manowar song said: "Warriors Of The World United" both jewish and muslim culture deserve respect. Just like christians or atheist.
This song should be like an anthem to us metalheads allover the world
It is. It says that religion and politics intentionally divide humanity into societies, but that music, art and culture unite us humans into one humanity. Metal is just one ray, one path of culture, and though it is one that I feel at home in, it is not the only and not the most important one. In a way, by being an anthem to music, art and culture, this song is also an anthem for metal and us metalheads!
só me resta bater palmas pra essa banda e para os envolvidos neste video. uma mensagem muito forte e bonita para o mundo inteiro
Been an atheist since i was 15 (now 'im 32) and my opinion on god and religions are harsh but i have come to terms with the fact that people will always need something to believe, something supernatural that justifies everything around us.
Orphaned Land is the type of band that the world need, what kind of band? a band that promotes UNITY despite our differences, a band that actually defies status quo with their music by shedding some light on the strings that CONNECTS us all... BRAVO ORPHANED LAND, JUST BRAVO
am a Palestenian atheist, and I like what this band stands for! great job, guys.
Spotify recommended this song, didn’t know the band before and maaaan I’m so grateful for that recommendation. This band is unique ..mixing metal with middle eastern style isn’t easy, but they have done it perfectly. Salute from Saudi Arabia
Also try Subterranean Masquerade and Myrath! :)
Great Message! God bless you all!
I come from China where the metal scene is absolutely rubbish and there are very few metalheads. I'm not religious but I feel it in this video. I stopped caring about being judged and shit. Reading these comments really makes me feel like it's a family being metalheads, whatever the country or religion. Thanks Orphaned Land for making this incredible music and video!
This is beautiful and respectful. A Christian here. People, take care, all of you. I love all the people who do not impose. Stay vigilant. Martin.
Greetings from Argentina. As an spiritual believer, and metal fan since birth, I'll always spread the words of love, respect and tolerance. Love is the same for all of us. Love is al we need. Cheers my brothers !
Hansi Kürsch! Amazing!!!
Yes, and one of the best bands in the world, Blind Guardian!!!
I'm an atheist, I really don't like religion, but I love and respect Kobi's vision and message with Orphaned Land. Peace and unity amongst all humans, no matter your beliefs.
Also, Hansi's voice is just golden!
So, if I say "I love Jesus" near to you, you won't like me because I am being religious?
We need peace. Love your music
Music will make us whole
الموسيقى ستعيد لنا الكمال
המוזיקה תחזיר לנו שלמות
"and this life is the pain of being born man child ane woman are one" personally think these are some of the best lyrics of any band because they really do resonate and make you think beyond the music.
I am musically not the greatest fan of Orphaned Land, but the band has much to say and is one of the most important bands in these times. Here I have to say everything works great: music and video are fantastic. And yes, Hansi is cool, as ever.
One of the most beautiful songs I've ever listened!
Amen
1:29 gave me goose bumps, I love this!
Excellent, my respect for all human been no matter what religion faith color have them, METAL is One for all of Us, Great video
Such an emotional song, I felt the knot in my throat; that is true... You can believe in what you want, as long as we humans live in peace, with each other, and also with nature. Greetings from Colombia.
Am turkish and...this its sooooooo human and beautiful....
I'm from Italy and I have to admit I love their sound, that particular atmosphere from middle-east that lurks inside your skin. And this song is just great!
Alah al din Kôprulû vay be türk beklemiyodum
Alah al din Kôprulû This song might be beautiful, but your spelling isn't.
Alah al din Kôprulû bir turk daha burda :)
You can fuck yourself,stupid idiot...You can understand this?
Hansi vocals always at best, greetings from INDONESIA
