سكان الليل [English translation]

Oh you who lies between every star and another

When will you show us some tenderness?

We've resided in the night with nicotine and coffee

So that maybe you'd hear us

Because the sweetness of love is a reality

Sadness has become a religion

Everyone who tasted the sweetness of love

had to join us

There's a lot of us

And we recognize each other

because our eyes don't hide what's in them

It is not without a reason that we get asked: "What's wrong?"

But we say: "nothing"

We are the one ticket

among the crowdedness of Mondays

Our Thursdays are

exactly the same as our Tuesdays

We are a silence that's much stronger than words

as it conveys what's in us

We are the ones people get bored of

as they say: "Just let him have his way"

We are the ones who envy the people who have their head held high

despite the fact that they will be broken,

the ones who walk looking at their feet,

and who bump into you and apologize

Oh you who lies between every star and another

Don't you be a mirage!

The residents of night on Earth

are seen as foreigners because of you

Oh you who lies between every star and another

Don't you let us down!

None of us learned how to swim

You are our ship

Perhaps this is a blessing

An evil protecting us from a greater evil

Maybe it is best that we board

when we are forced to

Maybe our fate is to have a father that says:

"I'm doing this for your own good!"

Maybe we are losing what we own

to get to own what we deserve

Oh you who lives on the opposite shore, I'm coming to you

I won't be late

Everything was set in place for us to meet

what you and I lived [on]

was a solid land

that we built a life upon

Our relationship is an end that the universe revolved around

And revolve it did.

Don't lose faith in me

And don't you ever doubt me for even a moment

If I am to sacrifice everything

to gain something

then you're that something

From the land of fear I'm throwing to you

the end of the first thread binding us together

We are talking to the same star

at the same time

And this is not a coincidence

Oh, Kaaba of my eyes and hers1

Promise her she'll have me

Inspire her with the fact that she is not alone

And that I'm going through everything she's going through

Paint me in front of her in the sky

And leave the rest to her

Nobody chased a daydream

more than my love

Oh you who lives on the opposite shore,

the fact that we've hit rock-bottom is a hope for us

Tomorrow won't find something to take from us

So it will give to us

Oh you who lives on the opposite shore,

The throne and crown await you

Oh land, bring us together quickly

Our meeting is a point on your orbit

This time I'm not drowning

And desperate for the first lifeline I see

This time the haven is a point in front of me

And it grows bigger the more I swim

I always have faith

I believe since there are signs

I always follow my feelings

And you follow them sometimes

Finally we met

face to face, without mediators

Everything was how the sky described it to me

with minor differences

Naturally we melted in each others' love

under the first night that met us

Our love for each other was born

before the first look we gave each other

Tell me everything again

even if it's mundane

I even see myself in you

more than I see myself in me

Every "I love you" I used to say

was said to something in you, even in girls who came before you

Which means that all the love words

that I've written, I've written for you

I gaze upon my life

as she paints a Cinderella in me

While concurrently your life is also

shaping you

It's impossible that this might be coincidence

Maybe it's all in how I'm looking at it

Well, I'm a sculptor after all

And creating meaning out of the lack of meaning

is my job

Tell me something new

And I will sculpt new statues

I want every day that we live

to be happier than the one before

Well, let's do something new

since you have nothing to say to me..

I don't know why I'm bored..

Oh how I fear it might be what I have in mind..

Never confront a disillusioned person with the fact

that the object of his illusions is gone

There's nothing harder than facing the sunset

for a person who is holding onto warmth

Sometimes we must go through pain

and the shock of the collapse of our illusions

so that we can see a truth

others could hardly show us

We refused to believe

that the beginning of the end of the story started

We kept on dancing

although the music was gone

We tried to stay together

using every way and every trick

We created an alternative for every alternative

a plan C for every plan B

And so boredom started taking over..

And I began to see your flaws

And I started needing space

I began to barely tolerate your existence

And I was forced to hide this fact

with words that were not sincere

So I started to doubt my love for you

from the beginning and in the first place

We are going through a crisis

But we are dreaming

The dead is alive when they are dreaming

Since the first day of our happiness

I was worried about what's to come

It's not pessimism nor depression

Nor do I hate for myself

to finally find peace

But for the one who stands upon the zenith

the only direction moving forward is downwards

Oh you who lies between every star and another

I came to you

and not late

I admit to you that I needed to be loved

and to love, so I didn't think

Oh you who lies between every star and another,

what is wrong with that?

Surely one time it's bound to work

Please show me another one

Not every beginning is happy

And not every ending is sad

One day I'll surely write a complete song

that you love listening to

And even if I'm disillusioned

The illusion deserves my energy the most

So that at least they would write on my gravestone:

"At least he made a sincere attempt"

1. Muslims pray as they direct their bodies towards the Kaaba in Mecca. The analogy here is that the two lovers are both looking at the star at the same time,much like two people praying at the same time.
