التيه [Arabic lyrics]

أنا ما عرفتك جيداً
لكن شيئا منك كان يشدني
لم تُرِني غير رعبك
أنا ماسمعت حكايتك
لكن لحظا منك كان يهزني
لم تُرِني غير بعدك

هارباً منذ الطفولة نحو ماء الله لعله يحملك فوق يديه
وصرت في التيه مأوى التائهين
تأخذ روحك التائهات كل مساء نحو الغداة
تحمل الروح الخطايا كي لا يذهب القلب فتاتا
وصرت في التيه مأوى التائهين
مهلا فوقتك لن يقاس ولن تقوم الذكريات
فحينما تلج البرازخ لا صفات ولا سمات

تركت شغلي ومشغلي
وتبعت خيطك في الشهور ثلاث
لم تُرِني غير رعبك
ولأن شغلك شاغلي
وجدت نفسي في الهوامش سائراً
لم تُرِني غير رعبك


The Exodus [English lyrics]

I didn’t know you well
But something of you had pulled me in
You only showed me your dread
I didn’t hear your story
But a moment of you had shaken me
You only showed me your distantness
Fleeing, since birth, to holy water, hoping to be carried over
During the exodus, you became the home for the lost
Every evening, the lost women take your soul toward the dawn
You load your soul with vices so your heart does not crumble
Slowly, for your time is not measured and memories do not form
For when you enter the purgatory, you will find no features, no traits

I left my work, and my workshop
And I followed your trail for ninety days
You only showed me your dread
And laboring over you
I find myself on the margins, wandering
You only showed me your dread
