"Jawaz el safar" is Arabic for "passport". And Marcel Khalifé is universal for magnificent or, to quote my second grade teacher, "fantastronomique!". Used beautifully in the final scene of Amreeka, I must thank Beyondthehummus (is this an official name now?) for saving time in what might have been a tedious search for the song title.
The words are from a Mahmoud Darwish poem.
