C H E B . الشاب - F U T U R E - وصلاتكم شي حاجة من الشمش؟ (English Translation)
This song is dedicated to :
My friends that I don't know yet, whose parents aren't born yet
Did you receive anything from the sun? Or is the fog still there or worse
Our eyes are blurred, with time; they become blind
Our eyes got blinded by the crumb inside the bread
Our eyes got blinded by a sleepless fly
Our eyes got blinded by boogers
Not far
If you lived with us, you probably would've been scum
Either be unique or be deaf
You're either soft, or they'll say you're too strict
There's only white or black
Gray isn't a color
Are you bending or are you sick?
Either stand properly or sit down
Either play by the tempo or stop
Either play directly or lose
Either be endearing or be spoiled
Either mind your own business or speak your mind
Either throw a fit or calm down
Either be the crescent blade or the scabbard
Either be ignorant or know that we were here
Not just the tiles and the gypsum
We were here, not just the Moroccan pastries
We were here, not just the milk, and dates
No, not a red hat
We haven't been here for 12 centuries, not even 14, despite you
Whether you like it or not
No, we weren't the music of the holidays
Wait, is the throne holiday still there? Or did you get anything from the sun?
Anything from the sun
Did the sun get you, Nothing from the sun
Did you get anything from the sun?
We used to like the proverb that goes like this:
From day one the cat should die
Only after dying did we realize that we are that cat
How many proud ones have lost their spirit now
How many prisoners, haven't been freed yet
How many tomorrows became the present
And you? For how long are you planning on staying ignorant?
Either go absolutely mad or sit down
Either go absolutely mad or sit down
Either match the ocean or drown
Either match the span of life or die first
Either match the moon or become bigger
Either match the red or be even more dangerous
Close your ears or understand
It's either fish or meat
Either learn or know that :
We were here, not just the tiles, and the gypsum
We were here, not just the Moroccan pastries
We were here, not just the milk, and dates
No, not a red hat
We haven't been here for 12 centuries, not even 14, despite you
Whether you like it or not
No, we weren't the music of the holidays
Wait, is the throne holiday still there? Or did you get anything from the sun?
Anything from the sun
Did the sun get you, Nothing from the sun
Did you get anything from the sun?
