بين البينين [Ben El Benen] [English translation]

I'm in love and I don't say it

I'm scared of your cruel heart

and I fear my feelings deceiving me

And I wouldn't bear a new wound

And I see your image in peoples' eyes

My heart lives in perplexity

and I die of jealousy, darling

Should I get closer or go far away?

And years pass

and I am between two extremes

Neither am I close nor far

Nor do my day's eyes seem to appear1

(2x)

I wish I had an alternative for my heart

and not to make me forget

but to make me stronger

and in my moment of weakness, he doesn't leave me

The happiness that I do not live,

I do not touch in my days,

I barely see it only in my dreams

I die and I'm supposedly alive

And years pass

and I am between two extremes

Neither am I close nor far

Nor do my day's eyes seem to appear1

(2x)

And I say I'll forget you to set myself at peace

and my heart keeps defending

and even patience isn't working

I don't know what to do

And day after day my wounds increase

And my longing grows inside of me

Have mercy on me, that's enough

I'm tired of what is happening to me

And years pass

and I am between two extremes

Neither am I close nor far

Nor do my day's eyes seem to appear1

(3x)
