Lyrics:

أصبحت,
واصبح الملك للإله
عبد الغفور والسطور مكتوبة لوجه الله
صادفت الدنيا وسط الناس, إنتباه
ونسة من غير إحساس, وانا واقف جمب الكلاش
عسكري؟ بري, أنا واحد من مليون
سابو الأمل ورا اللوم سلاح فتاك برا البدرون
يا دنيا, وينك وانا وين
وينك وإحنا زين الكوارث بين الجيلين

Bridge 1 translation:
Oh lighthouse on a beach,
I rest on the shadow of your eyes
As we pour the secrets of our journey
Revolving between your vision

Oh Dunya, your mirage is tempting
The embrace of your loved ones are betraying

وردت دنيا, ويا ريتها كان ما ردت
الحقيقة دايرة دايرة طول ما الأرض بتتلفت
إنت السبب والمسبب, طب شوف كيف
مين ال سرق ومين السكت, خروف كيف
ماسك سلاحك ونتا باحث عن حقيقة السلام
وين فريضة الإيمان لمن تعيش من غير أمان
طب ليه بتسيب كل الكلام والتفكير للإمام
الدنيا رحلة جوا غفلة, أمشي أقرا الإمتحان


Bridge 2 translation:
All of history is a legend,
They erased the rest without us
Without even knowing of its existence

Pardon the feeling world I'm starving for my children
I can't start a day so far away not feelin like a villain
And this falling place is all to say a perfect metaphor in store to 
show my fall in grace is torn ---- eye of the storm, 
yet I'm chillin'
I get my paycheck for the village
Swear I wouldn't take that if I made math for a living
But numbers keep on dwindling
fuckers keep on swindling
And here they left me hanging to keep standing 'front of buildings
but still I wake and say, still I wake and pray 
that my children Keep on living and they never walk astray 
'though I covet what could plummet in a moment of the day
I still love it when it shineS and I love it when it rains
And I love it when it Falls, when it Winters then it Springs
back to Summer, gotta love it for the teary laugh it brings
Love it when walks,     love it when it crawls
And I love it when it's running so hard it's got to fall
Like a feather in the storm, does it fall? maybe fly?
And reply to the nay-sayers chasing the lies
In the sky - play the movies me to move me inside
Till I'm faced with the truth see I'm faithless and blind

يا حرام, الدنيا غنية حرب وسلام
ماشي بين الواقع والاحلام
يا زمان, وزمن ماشي أعمي فالمكان

I know the ups and down can get you down through-all the day
But baby hold me tight and we can chase the holidays
Although we love and fight and fuss and clown in every way
I love it when it shines so bright and love it when it rains
