وينون
Where are they?
وينون
Where are they?
وين صواتن، وين وجوهن
Where are the voices, where are the faces?
وينون
Where are they?
صار في وادي بيني وبينن
There's a valley formed between me and them.
وينون
Where are they?
آه
Ah
آه
Ah
ركبوا عربيات الوقت وهربوا بالنسيان
They rode the cars of time and escaped into forgetfulness.
وتركوا ضحكات اولادهن منسية على الحيطان
And left the laughter of their children forgotten on the walls.
ركبوا عربيات الوقت وهربوا بالنسيان
They rode the carriages of time and fled into forgetfulness
وتركوا ضحكات اولادهم منسيا على الحيطان
And left the laughter of their children forgotten on the walls
تركوا لي المفاتيح
They left me the keys
تركوا صوت الريح
They left the sound of the wind
وراحوا ما تركوا عنوان
And they went, leaving no address behind
وينون، وينون
Where are they, where are they
وين اصواتهم، وين وجوههم
Where are their voices, where are their faces
وينون
Where are they
صار في وادي بين بينهم
A valley has formed between them
وينون
Where are they
آه
Ah
آه
Ah
عشاق الطرقات إفترقوا
Lovers of the streets have parted
لا حكي لا مواعيد
No words, no appointments
أنا وحدي صوت الشوارع
I am alone, the voice of the streets
أنا طير القرميد
I am the tile bird
عشاق الطرقات إفترقوا
Lovers of the streets have parted
لا حكي لا مواعيد
No words, no appointments
أنا وحدي صوت الشوارع
I am alone, the voice of the streets
أنا طير القرميد
I am the tile bird
هربت بيها الليل
I ran away with her at night
من مربطها الخيل
From where the horses are tied
وأنا قنديل الحزن الوحيد
And I'm the lonely lantern of sorrow
وينون
Where are they
وينون
Where are they
وين صواتن، وين وجهون
Where are their voices, where are their faces
وينون
Where are they
صار في وادي بيني وبينن
There is a valley between me and them
وينون
Where are they
آه وينون
Ah, where are they
