بركان

أجاكو الغول
شوي مشغول
شوي مسطول
أجاكو الغول
مش عارف لشو
صحيتوه

والشمس
حامية ع راسي الشمس
مش شايفة قدامي من الشمس
وانت وين بهالحم؟
بهالحم في دم
بهالحم في دم

والشمس
حامية ع راسي الشمس
مش شايفة قدامي من الشمس
بتحكيلي راح كله ينحل
حاسة كلشي عم ينشل
وانت وين بهالحم؟
بهالحم في دم
بهالحم في دم

Burkan -

Here comes the monster
a little busy, a little dizzy
here comes the monster
doesn’t know why it was awaken
And the sun
too hot for my head
that sun
I can’t see in front of me
from the sun
and where are you in this heat?
in this heat there’s blood
in this heat there’s blood
And the sun
too hot for my head
that sun
I can’t see in front of me
from the sun
And the sun
too hot for my head
that sun
I can’t see in front of me
from the sun
you keep telling me everything will be alright
I feel like I’m paralysed
and where are you in this heat?
where are you in this heat?
in this heat there’s blood
in this heat there’s blood
