T'attends quoi [English translation]

I am from Basra's state right from the desert fronts

but I will never wait at border posts not once

a nomad all my life all since Sheherazade,

when will the day arrive that will save us from the flood!

I'm from Kham's high walls, my head to sky is close,

the mountains here have souls, beneath eternal snows,

a Sherpa all my life on peaks and cliffs I scud

when will the day arrive that will save us from the flood!

when will the day arrive that will save us from the flood!

What are you waiting for?

The earth maybe to roar?

The sun to burn no more?

Till this world has no shore?

Tell me what are we waiting for?

The earth maybe to roar?

The sun to burn no more?

Till this world has no shore?

Tell me what are we waiting for?

I'm from a forest deep along the Amazon

and secrets I do keep of plants and life unknown

just living all my life, I hear the falls' wild thud

when will the day arrive that will save us from the flood!

I'm sailing adrift, a ship without the wind

I'm praying I'll get swift, where no one waits for me

been lost for all my life, Odysseys to Illiads

When will the day arrive that will save us from the flood!

When will the day arrive we save ourselves from flooding!

What are you waiting for?

The earth maybe to roar?

The sun to burn no more?

Till this world has no shore?

Tell me what are we waiting for?

The earth maybe to roar?

The sun to burn no more?

Till this world has no shore?

Tell me what are they waiting for?

Tell me what am I waiting for?

The earth maybe to roar?

The sun to burn no more?

Till this world has no shore?

Tell me what am I waiting for?

Tell me what am I waiting for?
