“Dark Water” is a song featured on the soundtrack album of the US indie film War Story, but it wasn’t used on the film. It features vocals from Moroccan singer Malika Zarra. Amy Lee asked her to translate the lyrics from English into Arabic:
I’m with this girl who has no idea who I am, and I’m like...
I thought I heard your footsteps
Coming up the stairs
But it was only my heart
Pounding in my ears
I thought I saw your light
Flicker in the window
But it was only my eyes
Reflecting my despair
And alone I will wander
Through the dark, dark water
Until I collect every shattered piece
Of my broken heart
And wait for a reason to exist again
Dark Water was written by Chuck Palmer & Dave Eggar & Amy Lee.
Dark Water was produced by Johnny Nice & Chuck Palmer & Dave Eggar & Amy Lee.
Amy Lee released Dark Water on Mon Aug 25 2014.
I don’t sing in Arabic. [Film director was] like, “We need a song with a little bit of a world-music type thing,” but ultimately, it didn’t get used in the film. It’s me and Dave Eggar and the other collaborator, his name’s Chuck Palmer he did a lot of the percussion, engineering and producing a lot...
The lyrics below were transcribed by fans, please note that it’s not the official translation from English into Arabic. Arabic-speaking fans noticed that singer Malika Zarra sings repeatedly a single sentence in Moroccan Arabic.
لحالي… بحالي في اليالي…
بحالي… بحالي سمعتك مشى.. جاي
وانا بحالي بحالي...
