When I said goodbye
Unlike yourself
You were cold
When I kissed you goodbye
Unlike yourself
You didn’t hold me close
You didn’t even kiss me back
Unlike yourself
When I cried
You didn’t try to comfort me
Unlike yourself
You didn’t follow me with your eyes
As I was leaving… moving away
Unlike yourself
You didn’t ask me to join you
On this trip
Unlike yourself
You didn’t hold on to me
You departed alone
Unlike yourself
You didn’t keep your promise this time
Weyyak weyyak yellyrbeit ana weyyak
En ishna ishna sawa, wen muttana weyyak*
My grief… infinite
My sorrow…deep
My pain… unbearable
For the world to endure
So it crumbled before my eyes
When I said goodbye
* From a Palestinian folklore song that khaled used to sing to me, it means:
With you for ever,
We grew up together, sweetheart,
If we live we live together,
And if we die we die together
