Silent Words
Beyond the lines of no man’s landTime stands stillMy voice is weak, but far away, I softly speakIn silent words, on folded kneesWith silent words we call the nightTo bring you sleep & dry your eyesTo bring you dreams & free your mindsWhen every hope has gone, we hold onWith silent words we’ll ask the dawnTo chase your fears when nights are longA million voices in to oneWhen every hope has goneWe echo all night throughWith silent words we are with you
With every tear you cry, we’ll comfort youStanding by your side, as one with youYou can find us, deep in the silencecarried in the soft winds passing throughWe’ll be your shadow, today and tomorrowThere to follow everything you doالهي ادخل السرورLord bring hapinessIllahi adkhil asurroorياربِ اسعد القلوبAnd cheer the heartsWa as3id al-quloobالهي خفف الآلامLord, alleviate the painIllahi khafif al-alaamمن لسورية سواك؟Who can save Syria other than You?Man li-sooriyya siwaak?من يحيي بسمةَ الحزين؟Who can restore the smile of the dipressed?Mann yu7yyi basmatal-7azeen?من يُنسي أنّةَ المسكين؟Who can soothe (alleviate) the soreness of the poor?Mann yunsi annatal-miskeen?من يمسح دمعَ اليتيم؟Who can wipe the tear of an orphan?Mann yamsa7 dam3al-yateem?أبكي بصمتٍ وأنينSilently, I cry and moanAbki bi-ssamtin wa aneenعن شيخ، شاب ويتيمAn old man, a young man and an orphan3an shaiyykhin, shaaban wa yateemعنكِ يا…آه سورياAbout you … Ah Syria3anki ya…ah sooriyya
