Fuadi (My heart)
My heart is in two,
divided in two halves
for me, that division,
and for you too, is heartbreaking
I need to get to you
some day to heal
my heart a er diaspora
and may the reunion give it happiness.
I have refused to evoke the ghosts
in the night to ask them
about my hope on the path
that leads me to you.
I long for our reunion so much
that even some mes it seems I die like a bird
while a child plays.
When you are away, the full moon fades
and the stars fall.
cnd when you arrive, victory comes
and eases the heart.
