lyrics

مين بنت صغيرة؟
هاي اللي واقفة عالشط
تصفن
بتعدّ الموج
تستنى
الشمس عم تغرب
تتحرر من الوقت
من البيت ومن التخت
وتروح

مين ربح الكنز
هاد الولد الصغير
عم يبحر بالغرب
لو يطوش او يغوص
بعده بيتنفس الحرب
زفيره فيه نبض
كلماته اصلهن كبت
وسموم

هي طفّت نار الشمس
عاشت ظل الوقت
لعنت التاريخ
نكرت دين الارض
واستنّت الربيع

كل شي بالاخر
رح يكون كيف ما كان
بس غير
قلتلّك مرة انك عنيدة
بتخافيش بعدك صغيرة
ما شفتيش كل الالوان
بالرمادي الكل تمام
وممنوع

هي طفّت نار الشمس
عاشت ظل الوقت
لعنت التاريخ
نكرت دين الارض
واستنّت الربيع

القصة طويلة
بتبلش بالموت
اللي خلص بالحياة
الارض بتحبك وهو بحبها
وحريتك سر مخبى
تاريخك وهم مقبور
وشعرك نار اتطّفت بالسكون

وهي طفّت نار الشمس
عاشت ظل الوقت
لعنت التاريخ
نكرت دين الارض
واستنّت الربيع

Who's a little girl?
The one standing on the shore
Staring
Counting the waves
Waiting, the sun is setting
To break free from time
From home
From bed
And go

Who won the treasure?
That little kid is sailing in the west
Either he floats or he drowns
He's still breathing the war
His exhalation pulses
His words' origin is suppression
And drugs

She put out the flaming sun
Lived the shadow of time
Cursed history
Denied the land's religion
And waited for spring

Everything in the end
Will be exactly as it was
Just different
I told you once
You're stubborn
You're fearless
You're young
You haven't seen all colors
In the grey everything is OK
And forbidden

She put out the flaming sun
Lived the shadow of time
Cursed history
Denied the land's religion
And waited for spring

It's a long story
It starts with death
That ends with life
The land loves you
And he loves her
Your freedom is a hidden secret
Your history is a buried illusion
And your poetry is fire
Put out by silence
