AICHA BINT YUSIF 
Thanks for your insights into the song “Ya Tale’in l-Jabal – يا طالعين الجبل”
Are you originally from Palestine? I would like to communicate with you more about this beautiful song.
Are you aware of an up-to-date version of the song sung by Dana Salah? If this message will carry this link to you, perhaps you can follow the link to the YouTube video of her performance/music video, which is quite moving.
My name is Bill Bauer. I hope we can be in touch with one another. Your poetry is very moving. I send prayers of hope.
