This is a translation of Mashrou3 Leila's song Inni Mneeh
I find myself compelled to translate it. Don't ask why...
I may have got a few words wrong, by the way, so apologies for that.
Come let's burn down this city,
and build a nobler one.
Come let's forget this age,
and dream up a kinder time.
You still have nothing
you would lose nothing.
and I have tired of my own company.
I had wished to change the world, I don't know how the world has changed me.
I had wished to carry heaven, and here I am hardly carrying myself.
Say that I'm okay
Say that I'm okay
