Текст и перевод песни DAM - If I Could Go Back in Time

If I Could Go Back in Time

قبل ما تقتل ما كانت عايشه
نسرد قصتها بالعكس، من الجريمة للولادة (يلا معلمها)
جثتها قفزت من الحفرة لحفة الأرض
طلقة طلعت من جبينها وأنبلعت بالفرد
صدى صوتها صرخ، وهي ردّت عليه
دموعها تصعد من الخد للعينين
من وره غيمة الدخان وجوه العيلة
أخوها بلا خجل حط الفرد بالجيبة

الأب نزل المجراف ودهن عرق عجبينه
وبهزة راس أكتفى من القبر ومقاييسه
جرّوها عالسيارة, هي تضرب بأقدامها
كعاصفة رمال، تمحي أثر دعساتها

دخلوها عالبكاج, مش عارفة لوين
بس عارفة أنهم طلعوا 3 وراجعين إتنين
وصلوا البيت, رموها بعنف عالتخت
(بدك تهربي برّه البلاد آه؟)
صحوها بضرب

لو أرجع (لو ترجعي)
بالزمن
كنت ببتسم (بتبتسمي) بعشق (بتعشقي)
كنت بغني

لو أرجع (لو ترجع)
بالزمن (بالزمن)
كنت برسم (كانت بترسم) بكتب (بتكتب)
كنت بغني

قبل ما تغفى، كانت تحلم
نعكس حياتها علينا، بركي بنفهم
عقارب الساعة تتحرك من اليمين لليسار
بتراجع خطواتها متل اللي تاهت بمسار

نامت جاهزة، كم من قرش للتاكسي
تذكرة وجواز سفر تحت الوسادة
الجواب، خلّي الأواعي بالخزانة
بتلبس حياة جديدة وإذا سألوها لأيش الحقيبة

وأستأذنت للنوم، قامت عن الطاولة
أكلت منيح, مجبورة تمثل اليوم
الأنف وقّف نزيفه, هيك مبينلهم
بس الجرح طري، قبل ما يثبتوها هتثبتلهم

أمها عاتبتها, حياتك جنة (مش عاجبك قاعدة البيت!)
صدقك لما ندوق الممنوع فش أشي بتخبى
ساعتين قبل العشا السماعة أنطرقت، الأم أنصدمت
(قولولها الطيارة إتأجلت) رن التلفون

لو أرجع بالزمن (لو ترجعي بالزمن)
إيش كنتي بتسوي؟
كنت ببتسم، بعشق (شو كمان؟)
كنت بغني (سمعينا صوتك)

لو أرجع بالزمن
كنت برسم بكتب
كنت بغني (كنت بعطيكي عمري)

قبل ما تجاوب ما انسألت
سرد قصتها كالمعايير بحياتها، أنعكست
إيديها قبال وجهها, طالبة النجدة
إيدين الحواليها قبال وجههم, بقرؤا الفاتحة

ورقة الرزنامة انقلبت يوم لورا
سيعة مسا، النقاش أنتهى، أخوها أمر
شلال دم بجري من شفايفها وبنصب بالأنف (شو مفكر حالك)
صوت لكمة, من وجهها أنطلقت أيد الأخ

لأول مرة بحياتها بترفض
أمها أعلنت بفرح، بكرة أبن عمك جاي يطلب
إذا بمسك ألبوم حياتها وبقلّب
ما بصدف صورة فيها هي ماخدة موقف

مستصعب، الصفحات بأيدي تلزّق
الماضي ملطّخ بدم وعيون تدمّع
بس وعدتكم, من الجريمة للولادة, وجوههم غاضبة
كأنه خبروهم بجريمة (مبروك, أجتكم بنت) البداية

لو أرجع (لو ترجع)
بالزمن
كنت ببتسم، بعشق
كنت بغني

لو أرجع (لو ترجع)
بالزمن (آه بالزمن)
كنت برسم، بكتب (آه)
كنت بغني
كنت بغني

كنت بغني

If I Could Go Back in Time

Before you were killed, you weren't alive
We'll tell her story in reverse, from the crime to the birth (Come on, teacher)
Her body leapt out of the grave and covered the earth
A bullet came out of her forehead and was swallowed by the pistol
The echo of her voice screamed and she answered it
Her tears rose from her cheek to her eyes
Behind the cloud of smoke, the faces of the family
Her brother shamelessly put the pistol in his pocket

The father lowered the shovel and wiped the sweat from his forehead
With a nod, he was satisfied with the grave and its measurements
They dragged her to the car, she kicks with her feet
Like a sandstorm, erasing the traces of her footsteps

They took her to the dungeon, not knowing where
But they knew that they went out of 3 and came back as 2
They arrived home, threw her violently on the bed
(You want to escape abroad, huh?)
They woke her up by beating

If I could go (If you could go)
back in time
I would smile (you would smile) with love (you would love)
I would sing

If I could go (If you could go)
back in time (back in time)
I would draw (she would draw) I would write (she would write)
I would sing

Before she fell asleep, she was dreaming
We reflect her life on us, maybe we'll understand
The hands of the clock move from right to left
She retraces her steps like someone who is lost

She slept ready, how many pennies for a taxi
Ticket and passport under the pillow
The answer, leave the dishes in the cupboard
She wears a new life and if they ask her why the suitcase

And she asked to sleep, she got up from the table
She ate well, she had to play today
The nose stopped bleeding, so it seemed to them
But the wound is fresh, before they prove it, it will prove them

Her mother reproached her, your life is heaven (You don't like sitting at home!)
Believe me, when we taste the forbidden, nothing is hidden
Two hours before dinner, the phone rang, the mother was shocked
(Tell her the plane is delayed) The phone rang

If I could go back in time (If you could go back in time)
What would you do?
I would smile, I would love (What else?)
I would sing (Let us hear your voice)

If I could go back in time
I would draw, I would write
I would sing (I would give you my life)

Before you answer, ask yourself
The story of her life is told in reverse, as if reflected
Her hands in front of her face, asking for help
The hands around her in front of their faces, reading the Fatiha

The calendar page turned back a day
At eight in the evening, the discussion ended, her brother ordered
A stream of blood flows from her lips and pours into her nose (What do you think of yourself)
The sound of a punch, from her face, the brother's hand was released

For the first time in her life, she refuses
Her mother announced with joy, tomorrow your cousin will come to ask for you
Then she picks up her life album and turns it over
She doesn't find a picture of her taking a stand

It's hard, the pages are glued by hands
The past is stained with blood and weepy eyes
But I promised you, from the crime to the birth, their faces are angry
As if they were told about a crime (Congratulations, you have a daughter) the beginning

If I could go (If you could go)
back in time
I would smile, I would love
I would sing

If I could go (If you could go)
back in time (Ah, back in time)
I would draw, I would write (Ah)
I would sing
I would sing

I would sing
