Evig Hjem Tåken ligger tungt i brystet, mister grep om hvem jeg er. Minner vasker over meg, salte bølger skapt av kjærlighet og savn. Jeg kjenner at jeg drukner, jeg har gått tom for luft.   Du tok med til deg, holdt meg oppe da jeg ikke kunne stå. Du lærte meg å elske og gav meg et liv verdt å leve. Du var alltid der for meg, ved din siste pust var jeg der med deg.   Atter en gang rekker du meg hånden, drar meg ut av min egen hengemyr. Strekker hjertet ditt mot mitt og gir meg luft.   Du er en trygg havn jeg alltid kan vende tilbake til. Et univers av ro i et hav av kaos. Et hjem hvor vi er nære og ekte for all tid. Et evig hjem. Du er mitt evige hjem.    The fog lies heavily in my chest, loosing sight of who I am. Memories wash over me, salty waves created by love and longing. I know I am drowning, I have run out of air.   You took me in, held me up when I was unable to stand. You taught me how to love and gave me a life worth living. You were always there for me, at your last breath I was there with you.   Once again you give me your hand, pulling me out of my own quagmire. Stretching your heart towards mine and giving me air.   You are the safe harbor I can always return to. A universe of calm in an ocean of chaos. A home where we are close and genuine for all time. An eternal home. You are my eternal home.

أسيرُ في عتمة الليل ....... الطّويــــــــل ودمتٌ كتيراً.. أبحـــث عن سبيـــــــــــل ******* دموع تنهمر..... من.. قلب .. مجروح نظرات تحوم... من .... صراع .... الرّوح باحثة ...عن بصيـــــص ... للنّور بمتاهة ... طريقــــها.... مسدود ******** وأكملت رحلتي في عاصفة من الدموع برد الشتاء يعصف في جسدي الضّعيف تسرح عيناي في فضاء مجهول خطوات متعثرة في اعتراض على قدر محتوم وصلت لمفرق من مسارين الغرق في بحر من الذكريات أو .. التّشبث,, في وهم.. من نسج الخيال حالة الضّياع هذه.. دفعتني للنهوض ... والبدء برحلة البحث عن ذاتي ***** مشــــــــــــــــــيت...و مشـــــــــــــيت / ومشيـــت كتيــــر وقعــــــت .. وبكيــــــــــــــــت / سمعــــت أساطير قمــــــــت .. وكمّلـــــــــــــت / بس قمــــت وكمـّــلت وكتيــــــــــر ترنّحــــــــــت / ولو حتّى تعذّبـــــت وصحيـــح ... تعثـّـــــــــرت / وكتيـــــــر ترنّــــــحت تألّمـــــــــــت .. تعلّمـــــــــــت وفي الآخر .. تغيــــــــّرت Walking in the darkness of a long desolate night, searching for a pathway Tears flowing from a wounded heart. Weary eyes wandering across the endless battle of an unsteady soul Seeking for a glimmer of light In a maze ...... with a dead end And I spent a continuous journey faced with the harsh sea spray of tears. The chill beating against my fragile body Gazes unfocused, trailing over the horizon Heavy feet, restrained by the weight of inevitable destiny Faced with the decision of a forked path: Drowning in an ocean of memories.. Or ...remaining in an illusion of imagination All of this have led me,, led me to get up and start a journey,,, A journey of finding my inner self. And then I kept on going.. I tripped I cried. Then I stood up and continued Yes I slipped and I suffered....but at the end... I have learnt and.. I've changed And I walked ... a lot. And I’ve heard myths..Yet I got up and resumed my trip, even in pain.. It's true that I have stumbled. Struggled a lot.. But at the end... I have learnt... I've changed And I walked...Ya Leil... I tripped I cried. Then I stood up and continued… Yes I slipped and I suffered....but at the end... I have learnt and.. I've changed And I walked ya Ein and I’ve heard myths, yet I got up and resumed my trip, even in pain.. It's true that I have stumbled. Struggled a lot.. But at the end... I have learnt.. and... I've changed.

Cendres   Il enfile son manteau Qui porte la lourdeur du monde Ses larmes coulent et tracent ses rides Creusent des sillons indélébiles qui renferment ses peines Le sel marque sa peau, ses veines, son sang, son âme   Il fume sa vie Ses problèmes Pour oublier Oublier qu'il est bien vivant Emporté par les tourments   La fumée l'empêche de voir clairement Son regard est brouillé Parasité par ses pensées   Écoute ton regard Sens tes oreilles Touche ta voix Vis ta peine   Les cendres de ses paroles sont consumées par ses pensées Un rayon de lumière roule en lui Ne sachant qu'en faire Il l'ignore, le plie, l'efface comme une craie sur un tableau Ses pas foulent une terre sombre Rouge de tant de haine Mais il continue Il marche, avance ROUGH TRANSLATION INTO ENGLISH: Ashes He puts on his coat Which carries the weight of the world His tears flow and draw his wrinkles Dig indelible furrows containing his sorrow Salt leaves a mark on his skin, on his veins, on his blood, on his soul He smokes his life His problems To forget To forget that he’s alive Carried away by torments Smoke prevents him to see clearly His stare is blurred Paralyzed by his thoughts Listen to your stare Feel your ears Touch your voice Live your sorrow Ashes from his words are consumed by his thoughts A ray of light rolls on him Not knowing what to do with it He ignores it, folds it, erases it like chalk on a blackboard His footsteps tread on a dark land Red from so much hatred But he continues He walks, moves forward

ČRNA POŠAST Počasi... neopazno... Previdno dokler ni prepozno Grozeča senca vse bolj se mi bliža Fantom poznano obliko dobiva Črn oblak nad mano preži, črna senca za mano V družbi samote se odpravim v neznano Auuuuu... Črna pošast Se v posteljo priplazi Auuuu... Strašna pošast Se v posteljo priplazi in me oplazi Čutim to kar ti ne čutiš...čutim to kar ti ne zmoreš razumeti ................................................................... BLACK MONSTER Slowly... unnoticeably... Careful before it's too late Horrifying shadow is approaching me Fantom is revealing it's true form Black cloud above me, black shadow behind me In a company of solitude, I go into the unknown Auuuu... Black monster crawls into bed Auuuu... Horrifying monster crawls into bed and brushes up against me I feel what you don't feel... I feel what you're not able to understand

Dacă n-am simți melancholia N-am vedea atât de-adânc în noi Cum am găsi, doar, fericirea Ascunsă-n hăul dintre noi? De n-ar fi melancolia Viața nu ar fi completă Doar o frunză-n voia sorții Spectator la o scenetă Fără de melancolie Vom dori să ne aprindem Cât mai tare, către stele Să le-atingem, să le-ntrecem If we'd not feel melancholy, We wouldn't see so deep inside of us How would we ever find the happiness Hidden in the void between us? If it weren't for melancholy, Life would not be whole Just a leaf in fate’s hand Onlooker to a (stage) show Without melancholy We will let ourselves ignite Ever searing, toward the stars To touch and go beyond their sight
