On the day of the summer solstice 

Aziz Isa Elkun

In these years that pass by full of memories,
I lived on your streets with constant effort.
My hope shines like an ever bright star,
I will celebrate you today with flowers.

I love this life, this world so beautiful,
I live in the desert and dream of the oasis.
I wish to soar like an eagle,
I wish the blue sky for my homeland!

Blue Sky

Aziz Isa Elkun

You’re the blue sky above me
The one I have always loved
Since I learned to walk

I have the deepest feeling for you
It’s always been there
Deep like the ocean
High like the Heaven Mountains
Though my roots are planted in the desert

Is my love growing like ears of wheat?
