Lyrics (Arabic, English translation):

رحت بعيد وقلبي جمرة
ما اشتكيت وعيوني ساهرة
آخ يا زمان
آخ يا زمان
شو بسبيلي تجيبلي بكرة؟

ما اشتكيت وسيدي يعلي
فقت مكان غريب محلي
آخ يا زمان
آخ يا زمان
شو بسبيلي تجيبلي بكرة؟

I went faraway
My heart was a burning coal
I did not complain
My eyes were wide-awake
Oh fate, what will you bring my way tomorrow?

I did not complain
My master was playing up
I woke up in a place
A very strange place
Oh fate, what will you bring my way tomorrow?

Lyrics:

If you make the angel cry
If you make the devil smile
That's it
That's the end, my friend

If you wear the devil's smile
Cry for an alibi
How far can we be
from the very end?

If your love was meant to hurt
I'll swallow the bitter pill
And leave that spirit to haunt me
With no beginning, no end

Remember how you could not hide
Words you kept aside
For when the world was meant to hurt
How far can you be?
From the edge you set for yourself
When the spirit kept coming

Believe it or not
It's the fire in your eyes
That's where I'm at
I'm in the fire
So why don't you believe me?

Believe it or not
Believe it or not

Lyrics:

There is a door that opens 
One way
Oh, in so many ways
I'd better keep my door open 
In my way
Oh, in so many ways

You radical, you
You radical, you

You, brother with no name 
You, rose in a labyrinth
You, tree with no shadow

You chemical, you
You chemical, you

You, horse in a rodeo
You, dog with no tail
You, flag in the horizon

There is a door that opens 
One way
Oh, in so many ways
I'd better keep my door open 
In my way
Oh, in so many ways

A Door that Opens

Spaces (Lyrics):

There are spaces and there are (…)
It’s inside your tell-tale heart
Yet underneath your silence
There are burning bridges

To see the light
How can I even begin?

So now that your assets are suddenly frozen
And the flicker of light is about to disappear
You’re looking back at all your highs and lows
And the deepest spell is finally broken

See the light?!

Rutaaaaaa ruteeeeeee rutaaaaaa
This doesn’t disappear
Rutaaaaaa ruteeeeeee rutaaaaaa
This doesn’t fade away

There are spaces and there are (…)
It’s inside your tell-tale heart
Yet underneath your silence
There are burning bridges

Save me if you can!

And you will keep on asking
How can I see the light?

Lyrics by Antoine Cassar and Silvia El Helo:

The sea is red tonight, it’s a bleeding heart
البحر عم يحمرّ عندو مرض 
This blood has no flag, no ID card
هدا الدمّ من راية ما عندو قرض


كفاية للجزر جاء وقت المدّ
Wash away the ink that keeps us apart
تخيّل إنّو ما فيش أمم في الأرض
Doctors orders, no borders, not so hard


No حدود
No  قيود
No شرود
 ! يا حبيبي 


البحر عم يحمرّ عندو مرض
The sea is red tonight, it’s a bleeding heart
هدا الدمّ من راية ما عندو قرض
This blood has no flag, no ID card


Wash away the ink that keeps us apart
كفاية للجزر جاء وقت المدّ
Doctors orders, no borders, not so hard
تخيّل إنّو ما فيش أمم في الأرض


No حدود
No  قيود
No شرود
 ! يا حبيبي

Silvia El Helo
