lyrics

الجنوب [Arabic lyrics]

هربت يحترق الجنوب
هربت والناس غافلون
كانوا ينادون الله أن يعين
ونسوا طريق الشرق مستباحا

فوصلت شرقا في ضياع
هامت به الناس من دون متاع
وليت وجهي الغروب
قالوا هناك الناس رائقون
والحب يرقص في الدروب
وكنت ساذجاً دؤوبا
لكنني في غفلة من خاطري
أخذتني أوهام الشمال

لا شئ يعطيك الجواب
إن عدت منتصف الطريق
لا حب ينئيك العذاب
إن عدت لا تجد الصديق


The South [English lyrics]

I escaped a burning south
I escaped during their oblivion
They were crying out for God’s hand
And left the eastern path unguarded

I arrived to a lost east
Where people wandered, unprepared
I looked to my west
People there were calm, they said
And love dances in the streets
I was naive, eager
But in the blink of a mind
I was swept by delusions of the north

Nothing will give you answers
If you return to the middle of the road
No love will protect you from pain
If you can no longer find a friend
