Lyrics and translation Hussain Al Jassmi - Bwajh El Seneen

Bwajh El Seneen

انا بوجه السنين اللي خذت من عمري افراحه
صغير السن لكنها حمولي من السنين كبار
ذبل وجه الفرح فيني وتعبت ادور الراحة
تموت احلامي قدامي ولا القى لهالزمان اعذار
يغافلني الزمان الين ما تلحقني ارماحه
وعقرب ساعتي واقف على وقت الحزن ما دار
محد قبلي سلم منه فتن ادم بتفاحة
عشان اعيش في راحة خذا مني اماني كثار
غدى حالي مثل طير كسير وفاقد جناحه
مكانه فوق لو همه كسر جنحانه وما طار
انا اللي لو يطول الليل وتغزي عتمته الساحة
تلالا نجمي واتماديت باحلامي وزدت اصرار
انا اللي واجه الدنيت وصبره كان مفتاحه
كسر خشم الحزن يوم ان دمه من زمانه فار
يا وقتي اللي مضى واللي سرق من عمري افراحه
صغير السن صح بس بشومخي ما اهاب كبار
وانا بوجه السنين اللي خذت من عمري افراحه
صغير السن لكنها حمولي من السنين كبار

Face of the Years

I face the years that have taken the joys of my life away,
Young in age, but my burden of years is heavy.
The face of joy has withered within me, and I have grown weary of seeking solace.
My dreams die before my eyes, and I find no excuses for this time.
Time catches me unaware, until its spears reach me.
And the scorpion of my watch stands still at the time of sorrow, unmoving.
None before me has escaped the temptations of Adam with the apple.
In order to live in comfort, it has taken many of my hopes from me.
My state has become like a broken bird, its wing lost.
Its place is above, if only its broken wing would mend and it could fly.
I am the one who, though the night may lengthen and its darkness invade the square,
My star shines on, and I persevere in my dreams, and my determination grows.
I am the one who faced the world, and patience was my key.
I broke the nose of sorrow when its blood flowed from its time.
O my time that has passed and stolen the joys of my life away,
Young in age, true, but in my pride I fear no greatness.
And I face the years that have taken the joys of my life away,
Young in age, but my burden of years is heavy.
