Arafta [English translation]

I became dirty, I became dirty, I washed myself, I became dirty, I got locked

I peeled off my own skin

In fact, I never liked those nail checks

I held out my hands out of compassion

The sun that hit my face

The wind that kissed my hair

Those stars that put yellow into my blackness

They all got lost in the belly of a quiet apocalypse

Take off the lid, look at those who are in the throes of death in heaven

Some are already dead, some are alive in their own hells

Silence all the dogs inside you that bark in season and out of season

These dark streets are not only theirs
