I Don’t Have Time - Souad Massi

I have been told that life is beautiful

But me, I find it cruel sometimes

The dark smoke has taken the place of the sky

I’ve no more dreams, I’ve no more home

I have no chimney for the fire

I have no era, I have no seasons anymore

I don’t have time for this game

No no no no

I don’t have time for this game

Waiting for the night to cry

Hiding our tears until the evening

Listening to the emptiness whispering to us

Our story until the morning

Alone in the desert street

Alone living through the winter

I walk without looking around

I follow my lonely way
