Chants from Egypt: in English

So a person who does not wish to be identified kindly translated the slogans that were chanted in Egypt on Friday (and were posted in Arabic yesterday here):

"Prison never changes ideas.. Oppression never delays tommorow.
Say to the authority pick up your dogs : the revolution of Egypt is in the hand of it's youth

Mohammad Morsi o son of sonia, pick up your dogs from the interior ministry

They said his departure will create a crisis, leave leave o son of boots

They said his departure will create war, leave leave o son of a dog

Raise your head, you're a free Egyptian... Go pick up the dog, whose name is Morsi

O lord, o God, take the guide and those with him

It is the start of the anger, we'll learn them politeness

Write on the cell's wall : the rule of the guide is a shame and a treason

Close the door on freedom.. the guide is a shame and the president a liar

Turn off the light on freedom.. The guide is a shame and the president is a coward

Write on the house's wall.. Morsi comed from a bottle of oil

They said freedom and they said dignity.. We saw treason and we saw cowardness

O Mobarak say to Morsi the cell is after the chair

Go Egyptian exit from your house, Mohammad Morsi is Mobarak

Dictator dictator, Mohammad Morsi's turn is coming."
