How many people there were

At the intersection waiting for people

And it rains and they hold umbrellas for each other

And me on the clear days no one waited for me

How many people there were

At the intersection waiting for people

And it rains and they hold umbrellas for each other

And I on the clear days no one waited for me

It's been like a hundred years for me

Stranded at this shop

The walls got bored of me

But are shy to say

And my eyes are on the beauty

And the beauty is on the streets

I sang him songs

And he's busy with himself

I waited all the dates in the world

And no one waited for me

And they hold umbrellas

No one waited for me

It's been like a hundred years for me

I've been writing letters

Unknow to who

And I send them news

Tomorrow the sky has to

Rain for me at the door

Umbrellas and lovers

Take me some morning

And whoever mentions all the people

In the end do they mention me

Author's comments:

This is probably as accurate as the translation for this song can get but for some lines, I had to dumb down the words and was forced to not translate the literal meaning others it would make sense. The translation for "نطرت مواعيد الأرض" which I translated as "I waited all the dates in the world", that isn't the literal translation for that line but my best interpretation. The literal translation would be "I waited the earth's dates".
