lyrics

CONDENA INDEFINIDA
By Nora Roman 12-24-89
Arabic lyrics by Karim Amrani 12-10

Mirar y no mirar
Besar y no besar
Condena indefinida
De esperar y esperar

Sentir y no sentir
Vivir y no vivir
Condena indefinida
De esperar y esperar

Cuantos dias ya han pasado?
Cuantos mas van a pasar?
Hasta tener mi querida
Y mi querida libertad
En la vida habra justicia
Las cadenas a quebrar
Pero tengo mi condena
De esperar y esperar.

Arabic verse (w/ arabic coro in between lines-8 lines)
Arabic coro: Natamanou, natamanou (esperar y esperar)
translation of Condena Indefinida:
INDEFINITE SENTENCE
the spanish:
To see and not to see
To kiss and not to kiss
Indefinite sentence
To wait and wait

To feel and not to feel
To live and not to live
Indefinite sentence
To wait and wait

How many days have already gone by?
How many more will pass?
Until I have my beloved
And my beloved liberty

In this life there will be justice
The chains will all break
But I have my indefinite sentence
To wait and wait and wait
To wait and wait, to wait and wait.
The arabic
My heart is sad, my sadness has been forever
I’m stuck at the bottom of a well
I’m crying, my tears run
I don’t know what to do with my life
I have my mind and brain intact
My strength is I am not the first or last to feel this
I will open my eyes after all that dark and see the light
And I know things will be better.
Chorus: to wait and to wait.
