Song Lyrics: أنا نِجم

I’m a star

أنا نِجم

By the Egyptian band Cairokee

Egyptian Band باند مَصري

Englishعَرَبِي

What now? Every time I make a step forward, I take two back

وبعدين، كل ما آخد خطوة أرجع اثنين

Time is running faster than the years

العمر بيجري سابق السنين

I’m young but old on the inside

أنا شاب لكن من جوه عجوز

I have wings but I’m caged

عندي جناحات بس محبوس

Wounded bleeding ambition

مجروح بنزف طموح

With my blood I write my words and I confess

بدمِّي بكتب كلامي وأبوح

I daydream, I let my imagination wander

بسرح بتخيل بروح

When I sing, I feel alive again

بغنِّي ترد فيا الروح

Maybe that’s not my place

يمكن ده مش مكاني

Or this time is not my time

أو الزمن ده مش زماني

Or maybe I’m deluded, deluded

أو أنا؛ موهوم (موهوم)

Maybe my imagination took me

يمكن خيالي وداني

To another world

لدنيا أو لعالم تاني

Or maybe I’m crazy

أو أنا، مجنون

Or maybe 

أو يمكن

I’m a star but there is no sky

أنا نجم بس ما فيش سما

I have wings but there is no air

عندي جناحات بس ما فيش هوا

I’m a star but there is no sky

أنا نجم بس ما فيش سما

I have wings but there is no air

عندي جناحات بس ما فيش هوا (هوا)

Then, I hear two inner voices

وبعدين سامع جوه مني صوتين

One ahead of me and one old

صوت سابقني والتاني قديم

One that guides and one that misleads

صوت يدل، وصوت يضل 

One that frees and one that paralyzes 

صوت يحرر، وصوت يشل

Now what? To whom should I go?

وبعدين، أرُوح لمين؟

I dream about tomorrow all night long

بحلم ببكرة أنا طول الليل

The day comes, I wake up

يجي النهار وأصطبح

All what I dreamed of is erased

كل اللي حلمته بيتمسح

Sometimes I feel I’m ahead, ahead

أوقات بحس إني سابق (إني سابق)

You live in the past while I’m fighting it, I’m fighting it

إنتوا عايشين في الماضي وأنا معاه بتخانق (معاه بتخانق)

I don’t see my place here

مكاني أنا شايفه مش هنا

My dreams are stronger than me and will go on

أحلامي أقوى مني ومكملة

I’m a star but there is no sky

أنا نجم بس ما فيش سما

I have wings but there is no air

عندي جناحات بس ما فيش هوا

I’m a star but there is no sky

أنا نجم بس ما فيش سما

I have wings but there is no air

عندي جناحات بس ما فيش هوا (هوا)

I’m a star but there is no sky

أنا نجم بس ما فيش سما

I have wings but there is no air

عندي جناحات بس ما فيش هوا

I can see far ahead but there is no road

شايف لبعيد بس ما فيش طريق

I have stories, whom should I tell it to if I’m lonely?

عندي حكايات هحكيها لمين وأنا وحيد؟
