رسالة دزناك رسالة بس وين صارت؟ خوش فكرة...بالزبالة اختار كلماتنا و سوالف وحدك علگ المراية على الحايط بس تريد الي تريد و غيابك يزيد بس تريد الي تريد شعبالك يفيد؟ دزناك رسالة بس وين صارت؟ خوش فكرة، گلتَ طارت و بعيد ميلادك أخاف أخابرك، لن ماكو مجال باقي بداخلك بس تريد الي تريد و غيابك يزيد بس تريد الي تريد شعبالك يفيد؟ [translation] resala (letter) [verse 1] we sent you a letter but where did it end up? nice idea… in the trash choose our words and our stories on your own you’ve hung the mirror on your wall... [chorus 1] you only want what you want while your absence grows you only want what you want and you think this helps? [verse 2] we sent you a letter but where did it end up? nice idea… you said it “flew away” on your birthday i was scared to call because there’s no space left inside of you inside of you [chorus 2] you only want what you want while your absence grows you only want what you want and you think it helps?

يلمع نفس البيت نفس الفراش نفس العالم يلمع صوت الجهال من الشباچ منه كلنا صغار طيارات فوقنا يرسمون بالسموات اشكال مختلفة و كل شي يلمع نفس النوم بلى احلام ما نحتاجهم من كل شي گدامنا بالعالم يلمع گام يلمع اذا يبقى هيچ [translation] yalma (shining) the same house the same bed the same world it all shines the sound of kids from the window from here we’re all small airplanes overhead drawing different shapes in the sky and everything it all shines the same sleep without dreams but we don’t need them when everything in front of our eyes shines it starts to shine if it stays this way what more could we ask for?

خاتل گلت احسن ما اجاوب التليفون على الميز أبقى خاتل بالغرفة بس انا صوتي و المراية و ما ينطي مجال شلون يصير رجال اذا خايف من الناس اذا خايف منا دائمًا معلوگ الراديو و اتغدى بالفراش باحلامي انا باقي عوف الاكل يم الباب و ما ينطيك مجال شلون يصير رجال اذا خايف منا اذا خايف من الناس اذا خايف منا اذا خايف يطلع [translation] hiding i said it's better not to answer the phone on the table and stay hiding in my room me, my voice, and the mirror "if he won't give us a chance how can he become a man?” "if he's scared of us" "if he's scared to leave" the radio's on so i’ll take my lunch in bed and remain in my dreams …you can set the food by the door if i won't give you a chance how will i become a man? if i'm scared of you if i'm scared of the others if i'm scared to leave

واصل لگيتلي امل بس ما ادري شصار اختفى القمر و ويا الاحلام رشيت الحديقة حتى يطلعلي الوان بس بلى الشمس الزهرة تخاف ف كلت وينك؟ اشو ماكو؟ ما احس شي شلون اغني عن بلادي و انا ما شايف غير القهر ف كلت وينك؟ اشو ماكو؟ ما احس شي [translation] wasal (got it) [verse 1] i found me some hope but i don’t know what happened… the moon disappeared and took my dreams with it i watered the garden to bring out its color but without the sun the flowers they hide [chorus] so i said “where are you?” you’re not around i don’t feel a thing [verse 2] how can i sing about my country when all i’ve seen is its pain? [chorus] so i said “where are you?” you’re not around i don’t feel a thing

داير بالي داير بالي سلون واحد يعرف شوقت يقدر يرتاح؟ داير بالي شلون رح افرح اذا كل ساع مستعجل [translation] dayr bali (looking out) always being careful how am i supposed to know when to relax? always being careful how can i be happy when it's all a rush?

غيوم ما اريد انام اخاف انساكم بس طيني شي ما يتعير [translation] ghayoom (clouds) i don’t want to sleep… i’m afraid i’ll forget you just give me something that doesn't change.

نور ما يفرق وين اتروح العالم كلها كابوس ثقل القمر يجر ضوء النور [translation] noor (light) it doesn’t matter where you go the entire world’s a nightmare the weight of the moon pulls… light of the light
