lyrics

إلى متى أظل هنا؟
إلى متى أختبئ
في قلعتي الرملية
إلى متى أبقى حالماً
على شواطئك الذهبية
وموجاتك, تتسابق إلى جرفي
تذيب قلعتي وتغرقني
مع سبق الإصرار والنيّة

أعجب كيف لا تفهمين
لمَ لَم أرضَ بحكم الجاهلين
لمَ بنيت لي سورا عاليا
لا تصله سهام الكذابين
لأن الصراحة تؤلمني
والكذب يقتلني
ويحك كم أنت أحيانا سطحية

هبي يا ريح واحمليني
إلى عالم جديد خذيني
بربّك يا ريح اجبليني
بالماء والطينِ واجعليني
صخرا لاتهزه الرياح
ولا يعبأ بالأمواج العتيّة


لن يستمر هذا الحال
سيموت رجل الرمال
ويتفتت .. يتفتّت ويتناثر... ثمّ
أخلق بدله رجلا ليس مثله رجال
لا يستسلم لشبح اليأس
لا يرتمي بين يديه
ولا يعد أيامه
كخيط الدخان تتلاشى أمامه
سأخلق رجلا حرّا
لا يقبل امرأة بدلَ الحريّة

****


Till when will I stay here?
Till when will I hide
In my sand castle
Till when I will stay dreamy
On your golden shores
And your waves, compete to sweep me away
To meld my castle and drawn me
With a prior intention and insistence

I wonder how come you don’t understand
Why I didn’t accept the law of the ignorant
Why I have built myself a high wall
Of which the arrows of the liars can’t reach
Because frankness hurts me
And lying kills me
Damn you, how shallow can you be sometimes

Blow oh wind and carry me away
Take me to a new world
Please oh wind knead me
With water and mud
Turn me into a rock that can’t be shaken be winds
Nor overwhelmed by the fierce waves

This situation won’t go on
The sandman must die
And crumble.. crumble and fade away..
Instead of him, I will create a man unlike any other
Who wouldn’t give up to the ghost of despair
Wouldn’t fall into its hands
Wouldn’t count his days
Like a smoke line fading away
I will create a free man
Who wouldn’t trade his freedom for a woman.
