about

Kullu Mamnou’ ('Everything is Forbidden') mocks a state of repression where even to live becomes a subversive act, liable to be silenced.

lyrics

تمرح تفرح تضحك ليه؟
تفكر غير أو تسأل - إيه!
استنى عندك أصل البيك
قال إنه ممنوع

من غير سؤال وكلام كتير
مافيش دليل ومافيش تبرير
تسمع وبس كلام الكبير
لما يقولك ممنوع

ممنوع، كله ممنوع
ممنوع، كله ممنوع
ممنوع، كله ممنوع، كل شيء ممنوع

تعافر أو تحاول ليه
سيب نفسك للعك
لأ لأ ماتزعلش البيك
لا تبقى أخرتك سودا
تعافر أو تحاول ليه
سيب نفسك للعك
لأ لأ ما تزَعَلش البيك
لا أنت اللي تتعك

ماشي في حالك، إزاي بس
لازم جرعة سف وهس
واللي يشتكي مجنون رسمي
حتى ده ممنوع

يلّا من هنا، يلّا غور
ممنوع تصور جنب السور
يا ريت كمان تمشي في طابور
كل شيء ممنوع

ممنوع، كله ممنوع
ممنوع، كله ممنوع
ممنوع، كله ممنوع، كل شيء ممنوع


Why have fun, be happy, or laugh
Think differently or ask questions - what!
Just stop right there, cause the boss
Has said it’s not allowed

No questions, no talking back
No reasons and no justifications
Just do what the big man tells you
When he says you’re not allowed

Forbidden, everything is forbidden
Everything is forbidden

Why struggle and fight it, just give in to the mess
No no don’t upset the boss, or you might come to a nasty end
Why struggle and fight it, just give in to the mess
No no don’t upset the boss, or they’ll mess you up

Minding your own business? No such luck
You need your dose of the absurd
And anyone who complains is mad
Even that is banned

Move along, get out of here
No photos next to this wall
And even better, walk in line
Everything is banned
