Je Kawta Din [English translation]

Those few days you were with me,

I spent my time looking at sails

You are imprinted on my eyes, my lips and my cheeks.

With the little sunshine hidden in clouds, I weave love into your shawl.

You are imprinted on my fingers, my hands and my shoulder.

Your nails scribbled an intense love story

I whisper tales into your ear

I stare at the dusk, when the curtains flow in the wind.

Let the destroyed city lie aside.

The cacophony of traffic drains my dreams.

As I mix rice fast, with baby potato skins, and this love,

You are imprinted on the needles of my wall-clock.

Just like you embraced me in the sleepy winter months

I look around for you now

As the returning ship whistles in the evening,

I bury my heart and smile

And we go back home, to hold the water currents.
