Arabic Text:
الزمن بينسى دايما مع الزمن مفيش وعود
اللي كان عايش في قلبي النهاردة ملوش وجود
الزمن ملهش صاحب ملهش قلب ولا مشاعر
خطوته مشوار في قلبي عشت فيه دايما مهاجر
مع الزمن الجرح بيتنسي والذكريات الحلوة تدبل
مع الزمن بنبتدي دايما حكاية فيها تخلص
ننسى الملامح والوجود والعناوين
يمكن نتوب عن ذكريات عاشت معانا
ضاعت في يوم من الزمن
الزمن دموع بتجري او ضحكة ما لها أي معنى
او لعبة ملناش يد فيها مهما اتشائمنا وتفائلنا
كنت اجبن منه دايما عمري ما فكرت اواجه
كنت خايف منه يمكن لو كان بشر كنت فهمته
عشرين سنة من يوم ما اتولدت احلم معاه
يوعدني اصدق عشرين سنة مروا وكأنهم سراب
وكان بيكدب كتب حكايته على الوجوه
والم في كل ضحكة وساب علاماته الحزينة
على طريقي اللي من زمان
Translation:
Time always forgets, with time there are no promises
The one who was living in my heart is no longer there
Time doesn't make friends, it doesn't have a heart or feelings
Her steps in my heart are like a path, I’ve always lived on
By time, wound can be forgotten
And sweet memories can fade away
With time we always start a story, and with time we end it
We forget face and addresses, by that
Maybe we'd give up on memories
That one day have lived among us
That's lost once upon time
Time is running tears or a laughter that has no meaning
Or a game we have no control over,
No matter how optimistic or pessimistic we are
I’ve always been afraid of it and never thought of facing it
I’ve been afraid of it
Perhaps if it were human I’ve might understood him
20 years since the time I was born
And I’m still dreaming with it
It tells me to believe that 20 years have passed
As if they were nothing
It's been lying and writing the story on those faces
And left a pain in every smile on my old path
