سجن الورق
sejn el wara2
paper jail

(1)
اطلع طلع أفكارك من سجن الورق
etla' talle' afkarak min sejn el wara'
go out, get your ideas out of the paper jail
حاج تتحسر على هالعمر اللي مرق
haji tet-hassar ala hal omr elli mara'
stop regreting the passing days of your life
(2x)

حاج تبكيلي على هالوقت اللي انسرق
haji tebkili ala hal wa'at elli ensara'
stop crying on the stolen time
عيش الحياة نفس الحياة قيك اختلف
eish el haya nafas el haya feek ekhtalaf
live the life, life in you has become different

(2)
هوالعمر أحلام
howe el omor ahlam
life is dreams
شوف المدى قدام
shouf el mada eddam
watch the coming days of your life
خلي أحلامك أبعد.... عمرو الحلم ما انلام
khalli ahlamak aba'd ... omro el hilim ma enlam
let your dreams be farther... dreams are never blamed

إبعد بعد أحلامك عن سجن التعب
ebe'd ba'ed ahlamak an sejn etta'b
go away and get your dreams away from tiring jail
حاج تتمرمرعلى هالقلب اللي انغلب
haji tetmarmar ala hal alb elli enghalab
stop grieving for the overcomed heart
حاج تحكيلي على هالمر اللي انشرب
haji tehkili ala hal morr elli ensharab
stop telling me about the drunk bitterness
(2x)

هيدا العمر بدو ينعاش مش ينكتب
hayka el omor baddo yena'sh mosh yenkatab
this life should be liven not written
re (2)

إذا بدك تحبس حالك في سجن القلب
eza baddak tehbos halak fi sajn el alib
if you want to enclose yourself in heart jail
على أنغامو وموالو بس رح تنطرب
ala anghamo w mowalo rah tinterib
on its melody and roundelay you'll exhilarate
(2X)
إنسى الحزن إنسى هالقلب اللي تعب
ensa el hizin ensa hal alb elli te'eb
forget the grief, forget that tired heart
عيش الامل طيف الأمل عم يقترب
eesh el amal tayif el amal am ye'tereb
live hope, hope phantom is approaching

i'm sorry couldn't recognize the singer's voice

Hi,

That's what I've got :

" Zaid Hamarneh started his singing career as lead singer for VENGO band in mid 2006, his first concert was Project Peace 2006 performing the opening number for superstar MASSARI. Zaid and Vengo went ahead to record Sijn il Wara2 (written & composed by Zaki Hamarneh) which aired in 26/12/2006, with pleasing good reviews. The band recorded their second single Baladi O 7abeeby (Written & composed by Zaid Hamarneh) to celebrate the Jordanian Independance day 25/5/2007. After a successful performance alongside JADAL band and spanish band Canteca de Macau in "fete de la musique 07", Zaid and Vengo recorded a duet with Canteca de Macau : Shoo B7ibik (Written & composed by Zaid Hamarneh)... Zaid's lyrics are in various arabic dialects (Jordanian, lebanese, egyptian,and even Fos7a) "
