Lebanese cedars

Yesterday I slept all day

Woke up in clothes, in a pile of dirty things.

Spent the night trying to meet the deadline

Condensing many complex lives into a simple title.

I've got your face here in an old polaroid

You put away children's clothes and toys.

You smile at me, I take your photo from the refrigerator

I don't remember what we did then.

I haven't been with a woman, it seems like years have passed since then

I thought about you all this time, about your salty tears.

In this shitty world sometimes a rose blooms

Her scent lingers in the air and then disappears.

Answer the call home.

The worst of us sit through long confessions,

The best of us are editing geniuses.

You say you won't leave the truth alone

I'm here because I don't want to go home.

Children drink dirty water by the river bank,

A soldier carries oranges from a tank,

I'm waiting for the waiter, who is in no hurry,

Watching the sun set on Lebanon.

Cancel the call home.

Now my head is like a lit cigarette

Devilish clouds are reflected in the domes of the minarets.

You are so high above me, you are higher than everyone else,

Where are you on the cedars of Lebanon*?

Choose your enemies carefully, because they will characterize you,

Make them interesting, because in some way they will remind you,

They're not here at first, but when your story ends,

They will be by your side longer than your friends.

* - The Lebanese cedar has always been a symbol of Lebanon; it is depicted on the flag and coat of arms of the country. Now it is practically destroyed, only a few groves remain. In addition, Lebanese cedars are constantly mentioned in the Bible.
