Paroles et traduction مشروع ليلى - أصنام

أصنام

كانت الدفاتر بيضا وحياتنا ما بتتغنى
والراديو يذيع مللنا يما خمسة وخمسين مرة
لمرة سمعنا فارس قالنا نردم معابدنا
رحنا وعمرناله معبد تاني بمحله
سلطنا الضو على وجهه لما طلع حتى يبكسج
ما شفنا غير خياله اختفى وجهه تحت الوهج
ويطلع يعزف ليتخيل حاله بالأفلام
واحنا نصدق حكيه حتى نبرر الأصنام
حرفوه ورددوه قدسوه ورتلوه
حرفوه ورددوه قدسوه ورتلوه
طربنا بحفلاته لما بلش يلعبلنا
الأسرار اللي خربشناها ع الحيط بحمامتنا
فسر الغنية فصلبناه بخشب المسرح
كان يكتب من الجوع و ما في أكل على المدبح
حرفوه ورددوه قدسوه ورتلوه
حرفوه ورددوه قدسوه ورتلوه

Idols

Our notebooks were blank, and our lives were unsung
The radio broadcasted our boredom, fifty-five times over
Then we heard a knight, telling us to fill in our temples
So we went and built him a new temple in its place
We shone the light on his face when he appeared, so he'd be blinded
We saw nothing but his silhouette, his face vanished beneath the glare
He'd come out and play, imagining himself in the movies
And we'd believe his stories, just to justify the idols
They shaped him, echoed him, sanctified him, and recited him
They shaped him, echoed him, sanctified him, and recited him
We were enthralled by his concerts, as he started juggling
The secrets we scribbled on the walls of our bathrooms
He interpreted the song, and we crucified him on the stage's wood
He used to write from hunger, with no food on the altar
They shaped him, echoed him, sanctified him, and recited him
They shaped him, echoed him, sanctified him, and recited him
