English translation: If I could close my eyes and the dreams take me by the hand, I would rise and fly in a new sky and I will forget my sorrows. If I could travel in my imagination, I would build palaces and nights where love and my hopes can grow and we will erase the pain .. A world in which you see people whose features, are clouded by oppression, misery and suffering from a bitter reality that destroys everything we build. A world where you see rising walls of tyranny that crushes in us dreams and dreams and reign darkness and greed in all hearts. Arabic Lyrics: لو كنت نغمّض عينيّا و تاخذني الأحلام من يديّا و نعلى و نحلّق في سماء جديدة و ننسى الوجايع ، لو كنت نسافر في خيالي نزرع و نبني قصور ليالي يكبر فيها الحب و آمالي و نمحي الآلام .. دنيا ترى فيها ملامح ناس قوسها الضلم و البؤس و القهر من واقع عاسر يعبث بكلّ ما نبنيه ، دنيا علت فيها أسوار طغيان سحق فينا أحلاما أحلامْ و عمّ الظّلام و الأنانيّة في كل القلوب ..
