Lyrics
خيال
شكلك بلا… لون
ما†حدا انتبهلك …هون
قاعد بلا …صوت
شو هو سرك ...شو؟
متل الخيال لاحق سؤال
لبعيد تروح وين بتروح؟
ابقى شوي …شوي
ما تنسى روحك ...خطي
مستني إيد …مين؟
تشيلك من ماضي حزين
قلبك عطشان
صرلك زمان
بتخاف تقول
وشو بتقول؟
Khayal
Your appearance has no… colors.
No one noticed your presence... here.
You’re sitting quietly.
What’s your secret? What?
Like a shadow, You’re following a question.
You’re going far away. Where do you go?
Stay here for a bit.
Don’t lose yourself, poor soul.
Waiting for a hand, whose hand?
To pull you away from your past.
Your heart is thirsty.
It’s been a while.
You’re afraid to speak.
And what would you say?
