Ayman Abi Kheir

Lyrics:

Between me and you, are seven seas,

And I don’t have a ship,

Nor do I have bird wings,

To take me to you.

Between me and you, are seven seas,

No bridges above them,

My engine isn’t working,

And I’m not a good swimmer.

Between me and you, are seven seas,

Many mountains and a desert,

No plane and no passport,

And I can’t even walk.

Between me and you, are seven seas,

There’s poetry, but no poet,

Your rhythm is broken,

And who can fix a broken soul?

My brother, this is the state of the world.

Days keep on repeating.

The sun sets throughout the year,

But every day it rises again.

The world has turned cloudy, and clouds bring rain,

We only remember you in happy times.

How soft is the rock that the beloved stepped on,

Softer than cottage cheese.

They used to be so many, day and night,

The door of the house was never closed.

Half of them flew away,

The other half vengefully whirled with time.

Like a dream, we were young

Time eats away like fire.

And death spirals around,

Lifespans aren’t in our hands – oh, Shielder!

After the fall, strength is standing back up,

Cowardice is when we collapse.

Like a dream, we were young

Time eats away like fire.

After the fall, strength is standing back up,

Cowardice is when we collapse.

Cowardice is when we collapse.

Cowardice is when we collapse.

Cowardice is when we collapse.
