About Arkamani

Arkamani for a revolutionary Sudanese rooting of Sudanese culture

Before you deny me, hear the story of the south and the north

A tale of enmity and brotherhood from ancient times

The Arab carrying the whip that paralyzes the camel

The shape of every sore

Stadiums of swords and spears

He settled on the desert of Sudan

Like autumn... according to the Sunnah and the Book

He destroyed Soba... and established “Sennaar” in its ruins.

The other one has a “Tiraab” bracelet.

He carries his ambition and his plan on his travels

And two dates in a bag

And genealogical trees

I met him in Takli, in the green canal

In Kaka, Tijan Al-Aqar and Al-Alyab

Brunette's truth was revealed

In the wombs of every mother a child is born

From your great grandfather's daughters

From what was seeded by the sperm of the Bedouins

Among them were the Fur and the Funj

And every face is charcoal

And a thick lip

And disheveled hair was spread on Ahab

A great truth, as naked as an elephant and a crocodile

Like the mountain above Kassala, you have the right answer

He who says in Sudan is a liar

I'm honest..

I am pure sweat..

I'm pure..

Yes, a liar

Malawal is a “rabih” voice that says in my tongue

Rabeh Zeina Cangik

And the proud leopard of Gork.. a wren cub

"Abdul Fadil" the Nile crocodile

And the rigid heart of my country

O Malwal, your cousin

And "fixed"...

When the response feels his ribs

At the end of the hose

Maybe it had something to do with your mother

And the proud son of this people..

His eyes.. his tongue.. his conscience and his hand..

The great Ali..

A pleasure from your people

Statement crash

However, its tones still permeate the air

It still energizes the ether

I hear it with the permission of Walt Whitman saying:

Live as brothers.. despite everything, brothers

They fell in love with this house..

This great country

Its echoes echo in my blood

O garden of many flowers

I smell in you the fragrance of the beautiful future

When everyone meets

In the meeting of the sweet white with its exciting blue brother

I wait for the day they accept

Arabs, Beja and Nubia

And Fajlo, Baria, and Barta

And Benqo, Zaghawa, and Ambro

We became divided, Dinka, and Tabusa

And Acholi, Nuer, and Masalit

And Anuak, Latoka, and others

To the Bush, each of them gives guidance

But fondly

His little thing

And the day it prevails in Sudan

The voice of reason...the voice of justice

The voice of knowledge and respect for others

Think with me Malwal

What glory will we create together on the banks of the Nile?

What glory if our two intentions were aligned

He wanders in our green meadows like an abyss.

God fills the eye

It pleases the heart

He shakes the sky with his horns

Think with me Malwal

Before we have a crazy estrangement

In the name of Azza is hollow

Or in the name of paying off a debt

Enemies tempt her with what her fathers went through

So we say Baraa.. We are from her

We shake our hands

Open, O wishes of the people

About a future we mean together

And about the bliss of the north and the south

About the freshness of brotherhood in these two

A day when there will be no dams and borders between us

A day when our grandfathers will not be tortured in their graves

No religion..

No the original..

Nor does the stranger seek

No stupid crime..

No snitch creeps

Like clay in the two hearts

Think with me Malwal
