وش بقى فيني من أحلام السنين

Wish baqa feeni min ahlam al-sineen

What is left in me from the dreams of the years?

غير قلبٍ كل ما يبرى انكسر

Ghair qalb'in kull ma yabrah inkasar

Other than a heart that breaks every time it heals.

كنت أحسب إن الزمن لو هو حزين

Kunt ahseb inna al-zaman law howa hazeen

I used to think that even if time was sad,

لا خذلني، باكرٍ يعطيني جبر

La khathalani, bakir'in ya'teeni jabr

If it let me down, tomorrow it would compensate me.

أثر بعض الجرح ما تبرى سنين

Athar ba'dh al-jurh ma tabra sineen

But some wounds don't heal for years,

وأثر بعض الناس ما ينفع معها عذر

Wa athar ba'dh al-nas ma yanfa' ma'aha 'othr

And some people are not helped by excuses.

وأثرنا نكبر، ولا زلنا حزين

Wa atharna nakbar, wa la zalna hazeen

And we grow older, but we are still sad,

نضحك بوجه الوقت والضيقة تستعر

Nadhhak biwajh al-waqt wal-dheeqa tasta'er

We smile in the face of time while distress rages.

أنا ما شكيت، ولا مدّيت إيدي

Ana ma shakayt, wa la maddayt eedi

I didn't complain, nor did I extend my hand,

ولا انتظرت إن البشر ترحم حالي

Wa la intadhart inna al-bashar tarham hali

Nor did I wait for people to pity my condition.

لكن تعبت أكون أنا عوني وسندي

Lakin ta'ebt akoun ana 'awni wa sanadi

But I got tired of being my own helper and support,

وأضمّ جرحي لا بغى يفضح سؤالي

Wa adhomm jurhi la bagha yafdhah su'ali

And hiding my wound lest it reveal my question.

يا كثر ما ودّعت شيٍ كنت أبيه

Ya kathr ma wadda't shay'in kunt abeih

How many times have I bid farewell to something I wanted,

ويا كثر ما أخفيت دمعاتي بصدري

Wa ya kathr ma akhfayt dam'ati bi-sadri

And how many times have I hidden my tears in my chest.

حتى الأمل لا مرّني، قلت: الله يحييه

Hatta al-amal la marrani, qult: Allah yuhyeih

Even when hope passed by me, I said: 'May God keep it alive',

وأخاف أفرح، ثم يرجع يكسر بخاطري

Wa akhaf afrah, thumma yarja' yaksir bi-khatiri

And I fear rejoicing, then it returns to break my heart.

يا ليل، أنا ما عاد فيني حيل أخبّي

Ya layl, ana ma 'ad feeni hayl akhabbi

Oh night, I no longer have the strength to hide

كل ما فيني من أوجاع السنين

Kull ma feeni min awja' al-sineen

All the pains of the years within me.

إن سألني الوقت عن حالي وذنبي

In sa'alani al-waqt 'an hali wa dhanbi

If time asks me about my condition and my sin,

قل له: اللي صار، ما هو بالهين

Qul lah: 'Alladhi sar, ma huwa bil-hayyin'

Tell it: 'What happened is not easy.'

أنا عزيز النفس، لكن وش ذنبي؟

Ana 'azeez al-nafs, lakin wish dhanbi?

I am noble in spirit, but what is my sin?

إن كان قلبي من عنا الدنيا حزين

In kan qalbi min 'ana al-dunya hazeen

If my heart is sad from the troubles of the world.

ما طلبت إلا حياةٍ تحتويني

Ma talabt illa hayat'in tahtawini

I only asked for a life that embraces me,

ولا لقيت إلا الصبر طول السنين

Wa la laqayt illa al-sabr tool al-sineen

But I found nothing but patience throughout the years.

ما عاد أبي أرجع لوقتٍ راح منّي

Ma 'ad abi arja' li-waqt'in rah minni

I no longer want to return to a time that has passed me by,

ولا أبي أعاتب بشر ما عاد تعنيه

Wa la abi a'ateb bashar ma 'ad ta'neeh

Nor do I want to blame people who no longer care.

لكن بقايا الذكريات تمرّ فنّي

Lakin baqaya al-dhikrayat tamurr fanni

But the remnants of memories pass through me,

وألقى شعورٍ كنت أحسب إني نسيته

Wa alqa shu'oor'in kunt ahseb inni naseetoh

And I find a feeling I thought I had forgotten.

بعض الليالي لا سكن صوت المدينة

Ba'dh al-layali la sakan sawt al-madeena

Some nights when the city's voice settles,

أسمع صدى عمري وأسأل: وين أنا؟

Asma' sada 'umri wa as'al: 'Wayn ana?'

I hear the echo of my life and ask: 'Where am I?'

وأقول يمكن هذي الدنيا بطبيعة

Wa aqool yumkin hadhihi al-dunya bi-tabee'a

And I say perhaps this is the nature of the world,

تعطيك حلم، وتاخذ أغلى ما تمنى

Ta'teek hilm, wa ta'khudh aghla ma tamanna

It gives you a dream, and takes away what you most desire.

يا ربّ، إن ضاقت عليّ الأرض مرّه

Ya Rabb, in dhaqat 'alayya al-ard marra

Oh Lord, if the earth ever constricts around me,

وسّع عليّ من الرضا بابٍ كبير

Wassi' 'alayya min al-rida bab'in kabeer

Widen for me a large door of contentment.

ما عاد أبي من هالحياة إلا المسرّه

Ma 'ad abi min hathihi al-hayat illa al-masarra

I no longer want anything from this life but joy,

وقلبٍ ينام وما يصحى على التفكير

Wa qalb'in yanam wa ma yasha 'ala al-tafkeer

And a heart that sleeps and doesn't wake up to overthinking.

Lines explained

“أثر بعض الجرح ما تبرى سنين”

Athar ba'dh al-jurh ma tabra sineen

But some wounds don't heal for years,

This line expresses the enduring nature of some emotional wounds, suggesting that not all pain heals with time, a common sentiment in songs of heartbreak.

“وأخاف أفرح، ثم يرجع يكسر بخاطري”

Wa akhaf afrah, thumma yarja' yaksir bi-khatiri

And I fear rejoicing, then it returns to break my heart.

The singer's fear of happiness, anticipating that joy will inevitably be followed by another disappointment, highlights a deep-seated weariness and pessimism.

“تعطيك حلم، وتاخذ أغلى ما تمنى”

Ta'teek hilm, wa ta'khudh aghla ma tamanna

It gives you a dream, and takes away what you most desire.

This line reflects a philosophical view on life's duality: it grants wishes but also takes away what is most cherished, encapsulating the bittersweet nature of existence.
