Two things the better Is bitter.

I know...I think this one is hard

Hmm, it's a tough one =)
let's say : two options .. each is worse than the other.

aaah, it's way to complicated to translate from Arabic to english. I always wanted to translate poems and I found it impossible to do so. I read a book about Nezar Qabani translated in English and believe me it doesn't make any sense, a portion of the book is ok but the rest is not. You don't get the same feeling, the meanings are different, and the metaphors are so weak.

I agree

I think the translation for this one should be another idiom that is composed in English.

I believe so, I am not familiar with a lot of English idioms so I'll try my best to find something similar to what we have here.
