lyrics

HELL BOUND
Lyrics: Omar Khayyam, ( english translation Karim Emami )

Some say the lover and the imbiber are Hell-bound;
A dubious statement that shouldn’t be taken to heart.
If all lovers and imbibers go to Hell,
Then tomorrow Paradis will be an empty ground.

There will be a Paradis with lovely houris, some say,
With much wine and honey flowing around.
Why should it matter if we have chosen wine and woman?
For this is how it is going to be at the end anyhow.

I know the outward facts of life and death;
And i know the truth behind every rise and fall.
Yet i should be ashamed of all my knowledge
If i know any state beyond inebriation.

Today you are barred from tomorrow,
And tomorrow’s care is a futile thought.
Don’t spoil this moment’s fun if you are still young at heart For who knows how long your remaining days will last.
