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 ..
