Ayoub Ahrari

Wank

She's sitting behind the window
Doesn't care how much I jerk
With such slender fingers
Draws the curtains
On the show
So without looking I water the plant
On this side of the road
One whose touch would bring me to

He jumps over the lamp shade
Barges into the kitchen 
Paws the plates 
Once 
Twice 
Three times 
Enough is enough 
Damn it!

جلق

جلق

نشسته روی پنجره چشم
هر چه می زنم نمی بیند
با دستی به آن باریکی
پرده می کشد از خانه
به هم می خورد باز
 تماشای بی پرده
تا آبی بدهد بی نگاه 
به گلدانی این ور خیابان
که اگر دست بکشد 
 نرفته می آید 
از روی چراغ می پرد
می زند به آشپزخانه 
چنگ در بشقاب ها
یکبار
دوبار
سه بار
لعنتی
بس است دیگر!
Close

Wank

She's sitting behind the window
Doesn't care how much I jerk
With such slender fingers
Draws the curtains
On the show
So without looking I water the plant
On this side of the road
One whose touch would bring me to

He jumps over the lamp shade
Barges into the kitchen 
Paws the plates 
Once 
Twice 
Three times 
Enough is enough 
Damn it!

Wank

She's sitting behind the window
Doesn't care how much I jerk
With such slender fingers
Draws the curtains
On the show
So without looking I water the plant
On this side of the road
One whose touch would bring me to

He jumps over the lamp shade
Barges into the kitchen 
Paws the plates 
Once 
Twice 
Three times 
Enough is enough 
Damn it!
