Alas!

I remembered my early days and said, "Alas!” (I said, "Alas!")
How bad life can get and how great a stress-free life is
I remembered my early days and said, “Alas!” (Alas!)
How bad life can get and how great a stress-free life is
 
The laugh of my mother and valuable people
Old companionship and I said, “Alas!”
Our parents’ satisfaction, where are you my mother?
We got separated and walked away and I said, “Alas!”
 
We were beautiful when were kids, how beautiful all children are
How beautiful my mother is, her beauty remains
How nice my neighborhood is but it is always oppressed
Stupor did us harm and the government made it worse
 
I recalled the gatherings, we shared everything we had
Though everyone had their own worries, how beautiful we were then
Nowadays, we smoke weed and my mother breaks down in tears
Noses are smoking weed, who is behind our suffering?
 
I remembered my friends, those friends who sought my downfall
I entrusted them with my soil but they spread thorns so we laid carpets
I blame myself, I don’t blame my relatives
I was asleep and dreaming then I woke up to run after my mirage
 
In a coma, where are you my friends?
They turned out to be wolves, and traitors
Our heads are upside down, I’m asking for forgiveness
The days are numbered, and time took us away
 
I remembered my early days and said, "Alas!” (I said, "Alas!")
How bad life can get and how great a stress-free life is
I remembered my early days and said, “Alas!” (Alas!)
How bad life can get and how great a stress-free life is
 
The laugh of my mother and valuable people
Old companionship and I said, “Alas!”
Our parents’ satisfaction, where are you my mother?
We got separated and walked away and I said, “Alas!”
 
I remembered my old self, but I lost it
I’m tossing and turning all night, but is there someone who sleeps well?
I fell in love with my neighbor. Today, she’s a bride getting her henna
I remembered the nights I stayed awake singing like a grasshopper
 
We drank wine till we were out of it
We were staggering, we were laughing and crying
They are ungrateful, they didn’t want to recognize our favors
We took the pill and love hurt us
 
I remembered my youth, I lost and won battels
When I got back home, Mom would tend to my wounds
I remembered my sorrows; how beautiful life was when I had a good time
I feel sorry for my country, drunks outnumber the sober
 
We were young and unaware, they scammed us
So, we ditched learning and walked aimlessly
And today what is happening to us, our smile is sad
Tell me were can we find a cure?
 
I remembered my early days and said, "Alas!” (I said, "Alas!")
How bad life can get and how great a stress-free life is
I remembered my early days and said, “Alas!” (Alas!)
How bad life can get and how great a stress-free life is
 
The laugh of my mother and valuable people
Old companionship and I said, “Alas!”
Our parents’ satisfaction, where are you my mother?
We got separated and walked away and I said, “Alas!”
