بنت الخندق [Bint Elkhandaq] [English translation]

Here you have your life

And you have all your habits

You've grown up as if the feeling of alienation has born with you

Your skin doesn't fit you anymore

Nor fit your dreams

You are afraid to sleep for years

You're waking up and you still your daddy's girl

What "betraying him"?

While he has been betraying you all his life

What "Selling him out" ?

While he has been selling you out all his life 1

If the soil is salty, why do we plant promises

Get up sister, drive us and let's never come back

Tomorrow we will be back

Your mom told you that's okay

Tomorrow you will get used to it

And you're talking with the world around you but you're still lonely

And to be honest, you've never tried

To run away

And you stayed in the ditch

In the deep ditch, fighting it.

What "betraying him"?

While he has been betraying you all his life

What "Selling him out" ?

While he has been selling you out all his life

If the soil is salty, why do we plant promises

Get up sister, drive the vehicle and let's never come back

Tomorrow we will be back

If the soil is salty, why do we plant promises

Get up sister, drive the vehicle and let's never come back

Tomorrow we will be back

Tomorrow we will be back

Tomorrow we will be back

Tomorrow we will be back
