Oh Time, Answer Me

What’s a song that changed your life?

Instead of the original prompt, can it be which song crossed your mind just now?

Isn’t it better than asking which song changed your life?

How could a song change one’s life?

Honestly, the only thing that a song can really affect is one’s mood.

And, recently, I have listened to a Arabic song in a beautiful classic Arabic.

It could be classified as a nostalgic song but it is really beautiful.

I will translate some of it. 

Oh Time answer me.

Oh Time answer us: 

Why did we grow up?

Why did we get lost in life until we broke?

We left our friends and those we loved.

And Yesterday didn’t come back,

and neither did we

…

When we were children, we were afraid of loneliness, 

but as we grow older, we seek it as a fortress.

And, we used to truly love life,

and how painful to say “we used to.”

….

Peace upon the memories of the years.

Peace upon what we have lost.

…..

We always return to the starting point,

from which we escape,

and to which we long to return.

….

We want to live the life of innocent children,

to run away from all the things that have befallen us.

….

And the question remains:

Why did we grow up?

So now, would this song change your life? Or would it simply remind you of the life you once lived?

With nostalgic song thoughts,
