Ben Kimim [English translation]

Am I too few or too much

Am I existing or non-existing

What am I

Am I the fairy tale or the reality

Am I the fleeing or the exodus

Am I nothing or the fault

Who am I

Am I the tenet or the insanity

The bleeding heart amid the nonentities

The fighting body amid the indigences

The confused mind amid the emptinesses

Am I not amid difficulties?

Or maybe, or maybe...

The one who's able to manage every betrayal

Knows how to cover every illiteracy

Places value on every captivity

Isn’t that really you, but me?

I'm a fractious person in these days

I'm lonely without anyone in this environment

I'm worthless in these areas

I'm desperate where I was born

I'm a fractious person in these days

I'm lonely without anyone in this environment

I'm worthless in these areas

I'm shadowless everyday and everywhere

Am I the voice or the hushing

Am I the fog or the haze

What am I

Am I the genius or the loss

Am I clean or innocent

Am I the purchase or the sale

Who am I

Am I the profit or the damage

The one who finds the truth amid the lies

Keeps her promise among all those treacherous people

Puts her foot down among all those snitchers

Am I not among all those burning people

Who builds a wall for every justice

Who locks every courage up

Who makes every nobility bow down

Isn’t that really you, but me
