The Constitutional Liberal Party (Tunisian Arabic: حزب الحر الدستوري, Ḥizb el-Ḥor ed-Dostūrī), most commonly known as Destour, was a Tunisian political party, founded in 1920, which had as its goal to liberate Tunisia from French colonial control.
The term Destour is usually translated as constitutional, and referred to the Tunisian constitution of 1863—the first in the Arab world. It is probably of Persian origin through the presence of Turkish in Northern Africa during the 17th to the 19th century. There is no trace of this word in the Arabic spoken during the pre-Islamic period, nor in the Quran or hadiths, nor in the Arabic language literature during the period preceding the Ottoman Empire, during which this word began to be used in Egypt.
The party wanted to remove all French influence from Tunisia and return to an earlier time. The students, faculty, and alumni of the University of Ez-Zitouna became an integral part of the 1920s Destour party. As time passed, graduates from Sadiki College took the high level positions in the party, while Zitouna graduates were the lower and medium cadres of it.
No I donÂ't need a reason to be breathin, just give you what I can
No I donÂ't want a family who would dare me to resent everything I am
I donÂ't need to prove to all the ones who feel that I need to fit in
No I donÂ't ever tell you that I failed you, IÂ'd rather start life over again
No IÂ'm sorry to say thereÂ'll be no sacrifice today
Now I can see it clearly why you fear me why you gotta bring me down
No I donÂ't wanna fight you just to spite you but IÂ'm not afraid to take you out
No IÂ'm sorry to say thereÂ'll be no sacrifice today
Everybody expects me to break but IÂ'll never breakdown again
Everybody expects me to give up, but youÂ'll never see me givin in
Everybody wants me to lose, but IÂ'll never lose who I am
No IÂ'm sorry to say thereÂ'll be no sacrifice today
No IÂ'm sorry to say thereÂ'll be no sacrifice today
Everybody expects me to break but IÂ'll never breakdown again
Everybody expects me to give up, but youÂ'll never see me givin in
Everybody wants me to lose, but IÂ'll never lose who I am
No IÂ'm sorry to say thereÂ'll be no sacrifice today
No IÂ'm sorry to say thereÂ'll be no sacrifice today
No IÂ'm sorry to say thereÂ'll be no sacrifice today
