Although you aren't in front of my eye
You are all what I see on earth and sky

Let's escape far away to nowhere
You, our love and I are only there

Away from everything and everyone
Where we have our moon and sun

With you our nowhere is everywhere
making it our heaven of love and care

Where the moon illuminates with our love
And birds sing our story so high  above

Rain drops dance while they fall
Responding to our lasting love call

Snow crowns  the mountain tops
Dew decorates roses and never stops

The wind creates gentle breeze
Only pure love we can breathe

It is heaven whenever you are nearby
An angel coming straight from sky

Stars sparkle in the universe at night
Lightening the sky with our love light

Clouds of love slide happily in the air
Everlasting green dresses, trees wear

Bees move from flower to another
Sending us love, seeing us together

When you touch water, it turns into honey
Freezing cold weather becomes sunny

Your touch gives me strength and power
To plant the vast desert to blossom and flower

You are the ray of light when it is dark
In deep silence, you are the only lark


Let's go so far to our nowhere together
Where impossible becomes possible forever

Where your love starts with no end
Only grows bigger to extend

I have nowhere but your embrace
To be my eternal destination and place

For you, I am really ready to fall
For you, I give my life and soul

For you, I will give my past away
For you, I always care and pray

For you, my heart always beats and calls
For you, the earth orbits and the rain falls

For you, birds flutter, sing and fly
For you, rivers flood and never dry

For you, the sun rises every day
For you, roses blossom without delay

For you, planets keep orbiting the sun
For you, days and nights are full of fun

For you, plants and trees dance in spring
For you, only true love my heart will bring

For you, the moon illuminates the night
For you, the sun becomes very bright

For you, stars decorate the sky
For you, I have wings to fly

For you, the beach hugs the sea
For you, only true love you will see

I will be always there for you
With much love that will always flow

When life is hard and really tough
I will give you support that is enough

Whenever you want to cry
I will be there your sigh

Whenever you want to fly
I will be always there your sky

Wherever you go on this earth
I will be always there your breath

When you feel lonely and under pressure
I will be always your happiness treasure

Whenever you walk in the night
I will be always there your light

Whenever you are afraid of the vast space
My heart will be always there your place

When you are down and need support
I will be always there your life port

When you are happy and excited
For your happiness I will be delighted

Whenever you want to talk and speak
I will be always your back that won't break

Whenever you close your eyes
I will be always there your warm sighs

Wherever and whenever you go
I will be always there for you

I have always been called black
Before my eyes and behind my back

I always try to hide my sufferings and tears
I have to stand more than anyone bears

I didn’t create  myself nor my color
That becomes my weakness and their power

I may be black from the outside
But I have the whitest heart inside

My color has become the curse of my own race
On earth, we no longer have a place

I am cursed in every place I go
I always feel so little and low

I was born only to suffer
My feeling does not matter

For any crime, I am the first to blame
The Nigro did it and call my name

My soul is imprisoned within the dark skin
My own color has become my own sin

I hope people will see the beauty in my heart
And stop excluding me and asking me to depart

My heart breaks a thousand times every day
No body cares about me, no attention they pay

I am a caged bird left lonely in a rainy night
With broken wings, with no power to fight

Outcast and cursed that is how I feel
In front of their vanity I must kneel

I hope they will understand we complete each other
We were created to reconstruct the earth together

We have the same soul but different colors
We have charming scent from various flowers

I dream of a world in which we are all the same
And only a human being becomes our name

We should teach our children the power of tolerance
And root out every envy, hatred and intolerance

I love and respect everyone on this earth
I have been taught this since my birth
In memory of George Flyod who was brutally killed by a white police officer in cold blood in the USA.

Why have you come from nothingness?
I have come to cause death and sadness?

Why would you like to destroy and ****?
People trade in one another and sell

Why do you appear now?
To make savage people bow

Are you happy with causing pain?
You created me, I can’t explain

Do you know people hate your nature?
People invented every pain and torture

When will you leave us alone?
When I finish my job soon

Do you come to change destiny?
I come to eliminate every tyranny

Why do you **** the innocent?
Every war has victims’ percent

What do you really need?
I want to implant peace seed

What do you think you can really do?
I already stopped all the wars flow

What else can you do to impose quietness?
I made all people equal, I imposed fairness

Aren’t you afraid of America, China or England?
I already beat all their troops on every land

What about Germany, Russia and Italy?
They are nothing, I am the absolute reality

What is your final message?
Make peace your only passage

What is your final need?
To end your ego and greed

When will you show some mercy?
When good prevails, and evil must flee
In memory for Covid-19 pandemic that swept thousands of lives all over the world.

ولكن
كيف احافظ عليكي واواجه غدر الزمان؟
الزمان الذي استحال الي لهيب ونيران
كان حبك ولازال اخر الاحلام
كيف احميكي اذا ماغدرت بنا الايام؟
اذا كان مقدرا الانعيش احباب
فالافضل ان اتحمل انا العذاب
ارحلي عني واتركيني اواجه قدرى
ولكن خدى قلبي معك كي لا اشعر بالم في صدري
تهون الام الدنيا ما دمت سعيدة
تهون الام الدنيا مادمت بعيدة
لا ترافقيني الي مستقبل كامل الظلام
الي مستقبل خلفته النيران والالام
تطاردني الاف الهموم والاشباح
اسمع جراحي تعوي في انين وصياح
امام عيوني...احلامي ادركها التحلل والتأكل
ليس هناك ما يدعو الي الامل والتفاؤل
حبك لازال اخر طموح...اخر امل
لكن الهموم ذئاب تطاردني مثل الحمل
كل ما تبقي من احلامي بات تراب
الالم هو ما تبقي من العذاب
اري السماء ستار اسود كئيب
والارض تحت اقدامي اشواك ولهيب
لايوجد سواك ..امل ..في هذا الزمان
هلا رحمتي القلب الذي لاجلك نزف الحنان
لاح حبك فجعل قلبي ينبض من جديد
بعد سنوات من الالم والحزن الشديد
ماذا فعل قلبي لك...هل اساء؟
فقد كنتي له الارض والسماء
لماذا جعلتي عالمي غاية في السواد؟
لماذا تصري علي الفراق ..علي البعاد؟
ماذا جعل قلبك بهذه القسوة والكبرياء؟
هل ضاع الحب...هل ان البكاء؟
هل فجاة احترف قلبك الجراح؟
القيتني في جب لايشقه صباح
من اخطأ في حق الاخر...من الجاني؟
من تحول فجأة من محب الي مختال اناني؟
لقد دمرتي قلبي ...فاستحال الي اشلاء
سحبتي الارض من تحتي ومن فوق رأسى السماء
هل هذا حال الدنيا...هل هذا حال الزمان؟
بعد الحب..ان الفراق..ان النسيان؟
هل يستحق قلبي هذا منك وانت الحياه؟
بعد العشق والغرام الم ومعاناه
تحملت منك الكثير ولاجل عيناكي ساتحمل اكثر
الام الدنيا تزداد قسوة ولكن بعدك انت اخطر
منك انت وكنت اعز احبابي
اخاف عليك من نفسك وتأثري عذابي
هل يجب ان اقسو عليك لتعرفي من انا؟
هل تتحملين عذابي ..كما انا هنا؟
كيف كنت تخفين هذا القلب...هذا الحجر؟
نعك كنت تخفيه خلف هذا الوجه..هذا القمر
هل ان الوقت ليسقط القناع؟
هل ان الوقت لتذبحي قلبي من الخداع؟
ما كنت اريد ان ابقي ليوم كهذا
لاسمع منك هذا الرعد ولا اعرف لماذا؟
هل كنتي تنتظرين قتلي باشتياق؟
هل كنتي تريدي ان تري قلبي وسط الاحتراق؟
لماذا هذا الغدر ...هذا الانتقام؟
لماذا هذا الخداع....لماذا هذه الام؟
سوف ياتي اليوم واري عيناك الدامية
واري مشاعري لك ...مشاعر بالية
سيأتي اليوم قريبا فانتظري
لا تنتظري انتقام مني ولكن اكثر هجري
اقسي عقاب ان اتركك وحيدة
تتطلامك امواج الحياة وانت شريدة
لتعرفي قيمة ما كان بين يديكي واضاعتيه
وتندمي علي قلبي البرئ الذي غدرا قتلتيه
لاتقتربي ...لا تقتربي مني
لقد رحلت كل مشاعر الحب عني
مهما يحدث ابدا ...لن اسامح
لن اسامح قلب ظالم جارح
انت اخترتي يوما...اخترتي الطريق
اخترتي سعادتك...واخترتي لي الحريق
لم يعد لي قلبا لاحبك من جديد
لم يعد يدق لاجلك هذا الفقيد
قلبي بين اضلعي ...لازال
ولكن حبك داخله...مضى و زال
لم اعد اذكر عيناكي الغادرة
استراح قلبي وعيوني الساهرة
مثلك الان..ابحث عن راحة لفؤادي
ليس عندك ..وقد صرتي احد الاعادي
اذهبي عني ...لم اعد اراكي
وقلبي الذي كان يشتاق ..بدأ ينساكي
الحب لازال داخلي ...لازال بصدري
ولكن لاخري تستحق...وهذا قدرك وقدري

I still have a tender heart
A heart which burns and aches for you
In your skin I see the heavens, in your eyes, the stars
When I am near you, I tremble with reverence
For my queen, I feel your power; I see no body
Only one-word flutters about my soul; love, and this love
I have never felt like this before
Deep in your thicket, you are the woman I cannot resist
I have found true love in the deepest oceans
I long to drown inside your waves, my Siren
The more I dive, the deeper riches of love I find ---
So, I dive as if I am made of stones
A sea of love flows from your eyes --- into mine
In my dreams and on my hands and knees
I pray to God to keep you safe for me
For Him to allow me mercy I cannot bear to miss you so ---
Or give me the power to withstand all these fantasies
Will you return to me, my capacity to see the world?
for what it is - to see your exquisite beauty ---
To tell me this isn’t a dream and comfort me
I love you...I love you before my lips say it
And my heart shouts it a thousand times
O’er the burning desert which grew a thousand fruit
All just to impress you, my dear
From you I am learning what hurts, and fulfills ---
In your eyes a wide ocean dwells
Show mercy to my heart and to my sails
My heart only knows how to stay alive for you
To pump blood and exist, despite the ache of waiting
Just give me one gift - one word from your succulent lips
One word from you, for me to feel alive
One word from you, will turn my sorrows into life
My heart melts and my ribs are opened wide ---
I can hear the echo of your heartbeats in my soul
Don’t ask me how to bear life without you
For you have become my tomorrow and yesterday
The strong wind of your love carries me home
Please be gentle with me, as I belong to your heart
I came to you to escape from this cruel life
I came to you for shelter from my storms
And I found everything deeper than love could mean
With your love me all my wounds close and heal
Come closer… much closer to me
Weep all the pain and sadness away
Come closer… much closer to me
I don’t need anyone but you
My lips only know the language of you
Come closer…I don’t want to remember myself before
When I was alone
Before I knew the taste of your kiss
Come closer…lean into my arms
Come closer…much closer and feel my embrace
To forget the taste of sadness and worries
Come closer...much closer, hold me
Come closer and never leave me
Come closer, I need to hear the whisper of your lips
Please never leave me alone
My feelings flow over your skin like the rain
They cannot be stopped, for water knows no end
Was I alive before you?
Or was life so cruel to me?
Forever together, I pray to God
We will be my love ---
It became so sweet after being so hard
You gave life to my heart
And helped me to forget all its agonies
If I say I love you, it will never be enough
Even if I glance away, my eyes will resonate my feelings
Your love appeared like a ray of light
Like the seafloor lit with the sun’s rays
Appeared like a dawn that cut the night’s pain in two
Rainfall ending the years of drought
Come closer…much closer, I need to feel your happiness
Come closer, please my love, and make me
Feel alive
