Halima [English translation]

it was the summer of '99

only my mother still told me 'be quiet child'

and i had enough of everything by then

to pass in your school satisfactorily

i waited till the darkness covered the city

so you can beautifully and alone take a walk

everything i wanted then i still want now

so that everything in my life could be your way

i said quietly 'dont let it suprise you'

the town's going to work against our love

i said quietly 'dont let it suprise you'

the town's going to work against our love

halima, halima

ja ajni , ja ajni *

halima, halima

where are those days

halima, halima

when i should have said 'stay'

when i came close to you, everthing quietened

except in my head everything whistled

birds, flowers, the park and trees

and that dangerous machine that turns the globe

i stuttered unfinished phrases

and stared at pouted lips

and you didnt have a better vision

you looked at me like at a television
