If I Could Go Back In Time لو أرجع بالزمن

DAM Featuring AMAL MURKUS
ENGLISH TRANSLATION: Arabic script: If I Could Go Back In Time ‏Suhel Nafar: ‏Before she was murdered, she wasn't alive ‏We'll tell her story backwards from her murder to her birth ‏Her body rises from the grave to the ground ‏The bullet flies out of her forehead and swallowed into the gun ‏The sound of her echo screams, she screams back ‏Tears rise up from her cheeks to her eyes ‏Behind the clouds of smoke, faces of her family appear ‏Without shame,
her brother puts the gun in his pocket ‏Her father throws down the shovel and wipes the sweat off his forehead ‏He shakes his head, satisfied from the size of the grave ‏They drag her back to the car, her legs kicking ‏Like a sand storm, she's erasing her own tracks ‏They throw her in the trunk, she doesn't know where she is ‏But she knows that three left the house and only two will return ‏They reach the house; throw her to the bed in violence ‏"So you want run away huh?" they wake her with violence ‏Amal Murkus (Chorus) ‏If I could go back in time ‏I would smile ‏Fall in love ‏Sing ‏If I could go back in time ‏I would draw ‏Write ‏Sing ‏Mahmood Jrere: ‏She dreams before falling asleep ‏We'll tell her story backwards, maybe understand ‏The clock hands move right to left ‏She reconstructs her steps as if she were lost ‏She sleeps prepared, money for the taxi ‏Plane ticket and passport under her pillow ‏Answer: leave the clothes in the closet; she plans to wear a new life ‏Question: what if they ask what the suitcase is for? ‏She went to bed, leaves table ‏Eats well, she must act today ‏Her nose stops bleeding, that's what they see ‏But it's a fresh wound; before they will beat her she will beat them ‏Her mom says "your life is like heaven" ‏She's right, if you taste the forbidden you better know someone is watching ‏Two hours before dinner, the phone hangs up ‏Her mom is shocked "the flight is delayed" ‏Phone rings ‏ Amal Murkus (Chorus) ‏Tamer Nafar: ‏Before she answers, she isn't even asked ‏The story is like the logic in her life, all backwards ‏Her hands up in the sky, begging for help ‏Their hands up in the sky reciting the Fatiha (ceremony before marriage) ‏The calendar page moves one day back, the time is ‏Afternoon, the argument is over, her brother commands her ‏Blood flows from her lips to her nose ‏A sound of a fist, his hand jumps from her face ‏It's the first time in her life that she says "NO!" ‏Her mom announces happily "tomorrow you will marry your cousin" ‏If I look through the album of her life ‏I won't see a photo of her standing up for her rights ‏It's hard, the pages are stuck to my hand ‏Her past full of blood and tears ‏But we promise you, from her murder to her birth ‏Their expressions filled with anger as if someone announced a crime ‏"Congratulations, it's a girl" ‏The beginning. Arabic script:Freedom For My Sisters
