A'antar The Black Prince (Antar bin chaddad) (عنتر بن شداد)

go after your brother, shaiboub, and take the horse from him

I want to come after you

- what do i have to do with horses? - you fool...

you want them to kill you and your brother?

- your broher has shaddad's horse - shaddad's horse

shaddad's donkey

shaddad's horse

get down, punk

hey punk, get down off the horse of kings

get down or shaddad will whip you

- we're used to the whip - so are the cattle

don't dream of riding horses while you're a shepherd, get down

shaiboub, why do you mock me?

if horses could talk they'd tell you about me

Ieave the horses to the knights

but shepherds have only their work, wine and...

and women

you reminded me of women

he're's a piece of advice, brother, stay away from them

if you must, then pick a shepherdess like you

- stay away from a'abla - what do you have to do with her?

nothing, just wanted to tell you to hide your love

because when you look at her the fire shows through your eyes

and her parents feel that

- and what if they feel it? - you know what'll happen to you

what will happen to me will make love a'abla even more

oh, a'abla...

your love has become too much

and i'm the one suffering because of your love

oh, a'abla...

your image lives in my bones and in my blood

ever since my soul entered my body...

that has been so

but a'abla doesn't love you

- what does she love, then? - she likes you telling her poems

she plays the drum and makes you dance like a monkey

i will not die before i win her heart and her love

even if you reach the stars... you will not reach her

why no, you bad omen? tell me

Ieave me and i'll tell you

come and i'll tell you

Iook... watch...

you see?

you mean the color of my skin

for those who know me, my color honors me

and for those who don't know me, my sword speaks for me

god forgive you, zabiba, my mother

you gave me your color along with trouble

if people knew they were the descendants of adam and eve

no one would say anything about another persons color

we were born free but we say masters and slaves

a white face does not make a master

what makes a master is a white heart amongst dark ones

a master is he who prevails in the field of battle...

when life becomes precious and cowards flee

i swear i will no rest...

until i become their equal

help us, shaiboub

a stranger is using our water and scaring our sheep

- where is he? - there

i'm going to make his mother weep his death... stay, antar

help us

where do you think you are? i'm shaiboub...

protector of the people and owner of the pond

ok, owner of the pond

help me, a'antar

help me, a'antar

help me, a'antar

back off my brother

- you're telling me to back off?!. - who are you, shepherd?

i'm a'antar ibn shaddad

oh, the son of zabiba

where did you steal them from, shaiboub?

these are spoils of war i fought for them

go out, shaiboub, i want to talk to mother

why so sad, son?

tell me what saddens you

since i was born...

you haven't figured out what saddens me...

and what demeans me amongst men?

tell me and i'll make you happy and sacrifice myself for you

what can i say when you are the reason for my plight?

why give birth to me knowing your children will be slaves?

couldn't you have killed me that day...

- or thrown me to the beasts? - you broke my heart, son

- enough... - tell me the truth...

am i the son of shaddad or am i a bustard?

save your tears

if you don't tell me, i'll kill myself

you are the son of shaddad, and this god knows

i told you that many times when you were a child

how can i be his son... the fruit of his loins...

when he makes me a humiliated slave amongst people?

tell me, were you his wife or his mistress?

i was a spoil of war

the a'abs tribe took me prisoner along with your brother shaiboub

and shaddad took pity on us and took us as his share

so, i belonged to him

and when a woman in that situation has a son...

she becomes free and her sons become free

i swear...

i didn't lie when i said you were the son of shaddad

then, shaddad knows he's my father

but he denies it because of my dark skin

i swear i'll make him hold his head high...

and say out loud...

"i'm shaddad the father of a'antar"

will you use your sword to make him admit he's your father?

he's your father,

i would never raise my sword to him

when i knew he was my master...

i obeyed him

and since i've found out he's my father, i'll obey and love him

may god grant you happiness, my son

- that's how we'll behead them - oh, a'abs tribe, your name...

scares the enemy before they see your swords and spears

i want a sword

can you pay it's price?

- i'll pay you after the battle - fine

come back after an hour

a slave... and he wants to act like a knight

woe to you, tamim tribe

the horses are coming, tamim tribe

in the middle of the night, tamim tribe

Iike a deluge, tamimm tribe

woe to you, tamim tribe

the horses are coming in the middle of the night...

may you come back victorious, master shaddad

thank you, soumaiyah

master, i have something to ask of you

- what is it? - your mean slave a'antar...

brings the morning milk to a'abla...

before he brings it to me

that no good slave!.

if he does it again, discipline him and beat him

i'll miss you, father

and you, brother a'amr

- these will keep evil away - how generous of you, a'abla

go victorious and come back victorious

hey, a'antar...

we're going to fight the tamim tribe

and you stay here to protect the women and children

don't let any woman leave her tent, understand?

i long to go to war, father

you still say "father"?

in spite of anything, i am... you're obedient slave

- as for... - a for what?

didn't i tell you to stay here?

slaves are no worthy to go to war

oh, a'abs tribe...

go out to fight the tamim tribe

give them hell

and turn their day into night

and don't come back without spoils of war

i beg you, master, take me to fight the tamim tribe

i said go back and stay with the slaves

where's the sword you promised me?

here's your sharp sword

- this is wooden! - the metal one is for knights

and wood is for slaves

hey, a'antar...

go ahead to the pond and set up the sheets and the food

master shaddad forbade women to even go from tent to tent

- and you want to go to the pond? - yes

and i ordered you to go ahead of us

- i never disobey my master - for my sake, a'antar

- and my sake, a'antar - neither you nor her...

nor even for the queen balkees

stop, going out is forbidden where are you going?

Iet them go, a'antar

misstress a'abla!

- they are with me - welcome to you and your group

we're going to the pond

come with us and enjoy the spring breeze

oh, spring breeze, i give you a kiss...

to paint on a'abla's cheeks any which way you blow

so...so...

so... so...

so... so... so... so...

is it my fault or your fault?

don't make me suffer

- so... so... - don't make me confused

- so... so... - so... so...

- so... so... - so... so...

- so... so... - so... so...

so... so...

ever since i saw you in the valley...

my heart has been longing for you

ever since i saw you in the valley...

my heart has been longing for you

i don't know who started it

was it me or was it you?

so... so... so... so...

is it my fault or is it your fault?

don't make me suffer

- so... so... - don't confuse me

- so... so... - so... so...

- so... so... - so... so...

- so... so... - so... so...

so... so...
