فوق الشوك [Fouk el shouk] [English translation]

My time made me walk over the thistles

It said to me " Let's go to love"

After years ,it asked me to go back

It said "you'd live broken-hearted in it"

I walked the distance which I walked before

And I suffered what I suffered before

Over the thistles, before Isee and meet love

My spook has been always meeting its shadow

When my eyes have sighted his place,I went after him

It took me to fire,torment and bitterness

he got me defeated

Oh how I suffer from love and from the one

Who threw me to him

What else I'd walk on after the thistle and fire?

I'm back after the thistles had me tired

I'm coming back again

Over the thistle,

A life mistake has taken me to my love

I went after it,so did my rested heart.

Why Oh my heart did we run after the unknown

Why did we walk on the fire of the wound?

and what for?

Oh how I suffer from love and from the one

Who threw me to him

What else I'd walk on after the thistle and fire?

I'm back after the thistles had me tired

I'm coming back again

over the thistle,

You who forgot the love ,Forget

And keep away from it

So you can find it later

You want to know where is the love

And where is its nights

Look in any tears you meet and you'll find it

Oh how I suffer from love and from the one

who threw me to him

what else I'd walk on after the thistle and fire?

I'm back after the thistles had me tired

I'm coming back again

over the thistle,over the thistle
