lyrics
(english below)
أنا الكذب
أنا الغربة أنا السفر
أنا الوداع أنا التعب
أنا المرض أنا الحرب
أنا الخوف أنا النصر
أنا الدم أنا الهم اللي بينعتل كل مرة
كل مرة، كل مرة، كل مرة، كل مرة
أنا القوي أنا الكذب
أنا التخت أنا العقل
أنا العصفور أنا الحبل
أنا المعشوق أنا العشق
أنا الدير أنا الخير اللي حبك من أول نظرة
وبكل مرة، بكل مرة، بكل مرة، وبكل مرة
لا اعلم...ان كان العصفور الذي تحمله بين يديك ميت ام حي، لكن كل ما أستطيع قوله
انه بين يديك...بين يديك...بين يديك...
I AM THE LIE
I am the diaspora, I am the exodus
I am the farewell, I am the fatigue
I am the plague, I am the war
I am fear, I am victory
I am the blood, I am the constant worry carried every time
Every time, every time, every time, every time
I am the strength, I am the lie
I am the bed, I am the mind
I am the bird, I am the string
I am the lover, I am adoration
I am the monastery, I am the goodness that loved you at first sight
And every time, every time, every time, every time
I don’t know… if the bird you hold in your hands is dead or alive, but everything I can possibly say is within your hands… within your hands… within your hands

Dearest Arooj, firstly thank you. My brother died this year n what can be said about such loss n sadness. I saw n heard you at The end of the Road in England. I spent many years in India n love all the music, poetry of your heritage. Thankyou Arooj❤️ ben1769
Somewhat lopsided 'best of' with almost all of Enta Fen here, but true to the description this is a good 'best of' collection. However, if you love these songs, you will likely love all 3 Soap Kills albums, and also likely Yasmine Hamdan's solo work. BeagleBay
