Salma II - El Joker перевод на английский

Salma II

يا ورد ماليك الشوك يا بحر كلك موج
يا عين غمت ف اتسمت من ال شافتني ليها زوج
سته وستين يوم صبروني سنين
شوفت فيهم ضحكه صبرتي في رحله الف ميل
يخرج احمد من الي فيه
يوم عن يوم بتملكيه
يبعد ميل بتقربيه
يتقل حمله فتشليه

علمتيه انك تكوني طريقه وبدونك هيتوه فيه
كنتي ليه طعم اول نبض قلبو مستنيه
نسمه بيتنفسها ريح وبينافسها ف حضن بيداريه
كنتي دي ولا دا وش بيه بتخدعيه
كنتي حضن بيدفيه ولا برد بينهش فيه
حد هرب من الماضي ليه ايام والحد دا بقى ماضيه دا
ف كنتي حبل نجاه وبنفس الحبل بتشنقيه
شاف ايام كنتي بتحيه قدامها سنين بتقتله
٣ سنين لو سالتي مين يحكي بالتفصيل
شيل بشيل
بهرب ليه
حمل تقيل
برضى بالقليل
بوهم نفسي اشوف سعادتي فيه
ببتسم واداري دمع منك كل مره يسيل

٣ سنين بموت ٣ سنين مش حاسه
٣ سنين الكاس مفرقش ايدي بحاول انسى
٣ سنين اللحم يبكي فابكي ف ظهره
٣ سنين بتمنى الموت عايش بجمع ف مهره
٣ سنين بتذل والجرح زاد ما قل
٣ سنين مش شايف غير الموت قدامي حل
٣ سنين يقلولك ع ال ف قلبي شايلهولك
٣ سنين من قلبي كل الخير بتمنهولك

غلطتي مره شلت ف قلبي منك واستحملت
ادوس ع نفسي مره غصب عني التانيه قبلت
اه زهقت غلطه فغلطه مبتحسش ماهما اتكلمت
بعدت عشان تعبت
تعبت اكتر بعدك لما سبت
يوم ورجعت لما سمعت منك كلمه بعدك ضعت
قولت لنفسي ليه البعد اديها بتقرب لما بعت
قربتلك قربلها
بلاش انت تصدها
مش يمكن حست بعدك قدا ايه انت صونتها
جمله الواقع بحرقها
وحروف الزيفه بلزقها كون ليها عذر ليها بكدب كدبه وبصدقها
بنام على السراب واصحى سامع صوت غراب
ببني لوحدي ف القصور وابكي لوحدي على الانقاض

يومين وايه الي فاض رجعتي زي المره الاولى
يومين وايه الي فاض مهي لو شوفتها مدوله
يومين رجوع وراحو زي اول ايام مراحو
ترجع سلمى لحياتها و احمد يرجع وسط جراحه
يومين فرحنا واحنا مش احنا دانا
سنه ف وش الريح كافحنا هي وانا
لسه بتساليني مين
هي اللي شالت واللي قالت طول مفيا نفس
هبقى ف ظهرك عوضك ع المره ال شوفتو دوقته سنين
ودا مقللش منها مافتكرش غيرها كانت ممكن تقبل بواحد ميت وبردوه بيقتلها
شوف السنين دا من سنين كان مستحيل اسمع صوتك ومبكيش تيجي سرتك ومحكيش

جايه النهارده فجاه بتقولي تعبت وراجعه
جايه النهارده يا واحده عرفتني معنى الدمعه
بتقولي ارجعلك
بتقولي اسمعلك
وبتساليني مين من بعدي شوفت انها ممكن تنفعلك
هي اكيد مش انتي
هي مسكت فيا لما سبتي
هي القمر في سمايا لما كنتي الشمس وغبتي
هي ظهري بعد مانتي قطمتي ف بعدك ظهري
انتي يا سلمى عطشي هي كل نقطه مايه ف نهري

Salma II

O rose, why the thorns? O sea, why all the waves?
O eyes that clouded over and smiled when they saw I had a wife for them.
Sixty-six days, they made me wait for years.
I saw a smile in them, my patience on a thousand-mile journey.
Ahmed comes out of what he's in,
Day by day, you possess him.
He moves a mile away, you bring him closer.
His burden gets heavier, you carry it.

You taught him that you are the way, and without you, he will get lost in it.
You were the taste of the first beat his heart was waiting for.
A breeze he breathes, a scent he competes with in an embrace that hides it.
Was it you or was it him, whose face are you deceiving him with?
Were you the embrace that warms him or the cold that bites him?
Someone escaped from the past to him, days, and that someone became his past.
So you were a lifeline, and with the same rope, you hang him.
He saw days when you were greeting him, years ahead that kill him.
3 years, if you ask who will tell the details,
Piece by piece,
I escape to him,
A heavy burden,
I'm content with little,
I delude myself into seeing my happiness in him.
I smile and hide a tear from you every time it flows.

3 years I'm dying, 3 years I don't feel.
3 years the glass hasn't left my hand, I'm trying to forget.
3 years the flesh cries, so I cry behind its back.
3 years I wish for death, living, I collect for her dowry.
3 years I'm humiliated and the wound has increased, not decreased.
3 years I see nothing but death as a solution for me.
3 years they tell you about what I carry for you in my heart.
3 years from my heart I wish you all the best.

My mistake was once I carried you in my heart and endured.
I stepped on myself once, against my will, the second time I accepted.
Yes, I'm tired, mistake after mistake, you don't feel, so I spoke.
I distanced myself because I was tired.
I got more tired after you when I left.
One day I came back when I heard a word from you, after you, I was lost.
I said to myself, why the distance, give it to her, she gets closer when I send.
I got closer to you, get closer to her.
Don't let her push you away.
Maybe she felt after you how much you protected her.
The sentence of reality, I burn it.
And the letters of falsehood, I stick them, I make an excuse for her, I lie a lie and believe it.
I sleep on a mirage and wake up to the sound of a crow.
I build alone in palaces and cry alone on the ruins.

Two days, and what's left? You came back like the first time.
Two days, and what's left? Even if I saw her handed over.
Two days of return and they went like the first days they went.
Salma returns to her life and Ahmed returns amidst his wounds.
Two days we rejoiced, and we were not ourselves, Dana.
A year in the face of the wind, we struggled, she and I.
You're still asking me who,
She's the one who carried and said, as long as I have breath,
I'll be behind you, I'll compensate you for the time you saw and tasted for years.
And that doesn't diminish her, I don't remember anything but her, she could have accepted a dead man and still, they kill her.
Look at the years, years ago it was impossible to hear your voice and not cry, your turn comes and I don't talk.

You're coming today suddenly saying you're tired and coming back.
You're coming today, the one who taught me the meaning of a tear.
You're saying come back to you,
You're saying listen to you,
And you're asking me who after you I saw that could be right for you.
It's definitely not you,
She held on to me when you left.
She's the moon in my sky when you were the sun and you disappeared.
She's my back after you broke my back in your absence.
You, Salma, are my thirst, she's every drop of water in my river.
