Mama said: dear child rest now, rest in peace in my two arms. lift your head up and send your hand up, to pick up one wish luck star. And the child listened mama's voice, and lift his hand as high as he could. But he didn't believe enough in wish luck stars, so he managed to grab a sorcerer instead. And the sorcerer said: dear child trust me, trust with all your heart believes. And the child listened those women's voices, and said i'll do what i was told. So he jumped high and grab on one wish luck star. Mama said: dear child rest now, rest in peace in my two arms. Lift your head up and send your hand up to pick up one wish luck star. And the child listened mama's voice, and lift his hand as high as high as he could. Then he believed enough in wish luck stars, so he managed to grab the wish luck itself. And the wish luck star said: child sleep now, close your eyes and dream in calm. And the child listened to the wish luck voice, and said I'll do what i was told So he breathed deeply and fell asleep.

Fighting over torches that are not even your own. it seems that they hate you Because your fear is to be alone we're done - may 21 Oh we're done There is no choice you say we have got to bombe their ground even if some children are caught in the middle of the crowd we're done - may 21 Oh we're done Who am i to judge you? I don't even know your name But I can't helped but wondering what will remain? we're done - may 21 Oh we're done Some say there is a way They have the solution, they would not mislay A sense of betrayal is making an affray, Manipulation has won, we're done.

Im tamouti 03:17
Translation: If you die If you die, what would i feel, what would i feel, what would i feel To never see your face in broad daylight, in broad daylight. I will no longer hear your voice in a deep quarrel, in a deep quarrel. We will surely meet again in a sweeter dream. What will become of your depression? The madness of your heart And as I compose your song like a magician who knows her name is called you appear on the screen at the same moment.

Zman 02:22
Translation: Time Lend me some time, Please, no compensation A time when I assure you Only a little time Lend me some time, Without remorse, without question Do all that is good to think Only a little time

Translation: You are like a flower You're so lovely as a flower, So pure and fair to see; I look at you, and sadness Comes stealing over me. I feel I should be laying My hands upon your hair, Praying that god may preserve you So pure and smart and fair. The Asra Every day so lovely, shining, up and down, the Sultan’s daughter walked at evening by the water, where the white fountain splashes. Every day the young slave stood by the water, in the evening, where the white fountain splashes, each day growing pale and paler.

A wise man 04:51
I can't stand you, you bug me all the time. For you i won't surrender, never again like the last time. No, you cannot touch me, you don't know how to behave. For you are not a wise man, as you pretend. I didn't tell you at the time, that was wrong. I must respect myself more often, that would keep me strong. But you didn't like me, because i dared to answer to your misleading, non sense lecture. No, you cannot touch me, you don't know how to behave. For you are not a wise man, as you pretend. I'm learning to claim my well being. Others may say life's a dreaming. We are just passing through, nothing to say, nothing to do. Now, listen man and girls: Vacation is no game. If you just want to relax, don't hesitate to complain. It is never enough, you've got to stay alert. You have to realize, what this feelings may cost. And yet, you cannot touch me, you don't know how to behave. For you are not a wise man as you pretend.

Translation: The other strangers I see you every night I cannot and will not sleep. Darkness closes over me I fall asleep with daylight hours Do you exist? Or is it I that is not here? I am drowning amongst demons I do not understand what they are looking for Keeping my distance, do not want any contact I almost never sleep I do not know if I am crazy Reality or fantasy Older or younger I have been living the same story for twenty years
