About the Group...

The new singing group known as Duo Doloroso released their debut CD, Carols for Palestine in December 2003. The album was highly acclaimed by hosts of Pacifica Radio.s Flashpoints and Voices of the Middle East programs, as well as by editors of the Palestine Chronicle and CounterPunch.

These talented, classically-trained singers have recorded eight extremely poignant and hard-hitting songs that reflect the depth of suffering of the Palestinian people and the extent of the brutality of the Israeli occupation - supported by the U.S.A and the U.K.

They have taken many traditional Carols and re-arranged them, so that these well-known songs can become the vehicle for widespread awareness about the unfolding genocide, ethnic cleansing and dispossession of the Palestinian people by the Zionist entity - and also to impart some understanding of the legitimate right of all Palestinians to resist.

"Now more than ever it is time to put Palestine front and centre in the minds and hearts of the world, so that this appalling and ever-worsening injustice can be stopped.". - Duo Doloroso

OLIVE TREES

Trouble began before 1948
When Zionists founded the Israeli state
Zionism called for a Jewish homeland
But they picked Palestine as a land with no man
One major flaw with all of this:
They forgot the indigenous populace!
Native Arab Muslims and Christians
Didn't they notice that something is missing?
They left native Arabs all out of their view
Zionism's goals were heavily skewed
Newcomers settled up in the country-side
In separation just like Apartheid
Jewish roads, schools, and hospitals
But also paramilitary patrols

These are the seeds of 48'
From colonial control to the Jewish state
It's not a mistake, though
It's not a mistake, no
Life in exile, is that our fate?
Life in exile, that's our fate?
Life in exile, that's our fate?

CHORUS:

They exiled us and stole our homes
Now all we have are old keys and new poems
They turned us into refugees
And uprooted us like our olive trees
.olive trees.

REFRAIN

In 1917 the British gave away our nation
With Lord Balfour's stupid declaration
They had no right to give it away
But guess what?
They did it anyway!
And once again the natives had no say
You know the British acted like they ruled the earth

And the Israelis think they got it by birth
Yeah right man!
Who lived on the land?
And who had to use force with their hand?
I'm surprised by this, they should know better
Then to move on our land as a settler
I mean that word says it all
Some say it's not their choice, that it's God's call

But to me that's called manifest destiny
I thought that went out of style in the last century

Now we're held captive to their public opinion
As a Palestinian I feel more like an Indian
Driven into reservations
Living under occupation
As a shattered nation
A western creation

CHORUS

Last time, I went jogging in the park
But now we can't go outside
Cuz we'll get shot
Or as Benjamin Netanyahu might like to put it:
we jumped in front of that Israeli bullet.
But who can believe what that sucka say
He gotta be the biggest yoohoo alive today
So I searched yahoo for who's the most sinister
It came back with Israel's current prime minister
Ariel Sharon, a real cabron
I'd like to meet him in a dark alley and it's on
He'd be the Penguin and I'd be Batman
My flurry of fists would sink that fat man
Like the Titanic
it's time to panic
I can't stand it
cuz' we're heading for the bottom of the Atlantic
Israel and America's a sinking ship, if we don't
change it soon we're going down with it.
