[Intro]

يا ليل يا عين...

Ya leil ya ein...

Oh night, oh eye...

إحنا اتغيرنا ولا إيه؟

Ehna etghayyarna wala eih?

Have we changed, or what?

ده اللي كان في يوم قريب

Dah elli kan fi youm 'areeb

The one who was close one day

بقى النهارده ولا حاجة ليه؟

Baqa ennaharda wala haga leih?

Is nothing today, why?

[Verse 1]

كنت فاكر قلبي جامد

Kunt faker qalbi gamid

I thought my heart was strong

طلع أطيب من زمان

Tala' atyab min zaman

It turned out to be kinder than before

كنت بضحك وسط زحمة

Kunt badhak west zahma

I used to laugh amidst the crowd

وجوايا ألف امتحان

Wagawaya alf emtehan

And inside me were a thousand trials

كل واحد قال حكاية

Kull wahid qal hekaya

Everyone told a story

وكل واحد كان ملاك

W kull wahid kan malak

And everyone was an angel

لحد ما الأيام ورّتني

Lohad ma el-ayyam warratni

Until the days showed me

مين حقيقي ومين ملاك

Min haqiqi w min malak

Who is real and who is an angel (fake)

[Pre-Chorus]

بس أنا مش زعلان

Bas ana mesh za'lan

But I'm not sad

ولا هعيش دور الغلبان

Wala ha'eesh dour el-ghalban

Nor will I play the role of the defeated

اللي باعني يوم برخيص

Elli ba'ani youm berkhis

The one who sold me cheap one day

مش هشتريه لو ببلاش كمان

Mesh hashtreeh law bebalash kaman

I won't buy them back even for free

[Chorus – اللازمة] · Chorus

مش بالساهل... مش بالساهل

Mesh bel sahel... mesh bel sahel

It's not easy... it's not easy

قلبي يرجع زي الأول

Qalbi yerga' zayy el-awwal

For my heart to return to how it was

كنت فاكر كلهم جدعان

Kunt faker kolluhum ged'an

I thought they were all honorable

طلع فيهم ألف ممثل

Tala' feehum alf momassel

It turned out there were a thousand actors among them

يا دنيا دوّري بينا

Ya donya dawwri beina

Oh world, spin us around

مرة تكسبينا ومرة علينا

Marra teksabeena w marra 'aleina

Sometimes you win us, and sometimes you're against us

بس طول ما الروح فينا

Bas tool ma el-rouh feena

But as long as there's spirit in us

لسه الحلو مستنينا

Lessa el-helw mestanneena

The good is still waiting for us

[Verse 2]

اللي سابنا ربنا يعوض

Elli sabna rabbena ye'awwad

May God compensate for those who left us

واللي خاننا ربنا يهديه

W elli khanna rabbena yehdeeh

And may God guide those who betrayed us

واللي شايل لينا حقد

W elli shayel leena heqd

And whoever holds malice for us

ربنا يكفيه شر اللي فيه

Rabbena yekfeeh sharr elli feeh

May God protect them from the evil within them

إحنا مش بنكره حد

Ehna mesh benekrah hadd

We don't hate anyone

بس خلاص مبقاش يفرق

But it just doesn't matter anymore

واللي كان في القلب ساكن

W elli kan fel qalb saken

And what used to reside in the heart

بكرة من الذاكرة يتسرّب

Bokra men el-zakera yetserreb

Tomorrow it will leak from memory

[Bridge – هدوء قبل الانفجار] · Bridge – Calm before the storm

ضحكة من القلب يا ناس

Dahka men el-qalb ya nas

A laugh from the heart, people

يمكن تداوي اللي فات

Yemken tedawi elli fat

Perhaps it can heal what's past

إحنا مش ناقصين وجع

Ehna mesh naqseen waga'

We don't need more pain

كفاية اللي فات من ساعات

Kefaya elli fat men sa'at

Enough of what has passed in hours

[Final Chorus – إيقاع أعلى] · Final Chorus – Higher tempo

مش بالساهل... مش بالساهل

Mesh bel sahel... mesh bel sahel

It's not easy... it's not easy

قلبي يرجع زي الأول

Qalbi yerga' zayy el-awwal

For my heart to return to how it was

كنت فاكر كلهم جدعان

Kunt faker kolluhum ged'an

I thought they were all honorable

طلع فيهم ألف ممثل

Tala' feehum alf momassel

It turned out there were a thousand actors among them

يا دنيا دوّري بينا

Ya donya dawwri beina

Oh world, spin us around

مرة تكسبينا ومرة علينا

Marra teksabeena w marra 'aleina

Sometimes you win us, and sometimes you're against us

بس طول ما الروح فينا

Bas tool ma el-rouh feena

But as long as there's spirit in us

لسه الحلو مستنينا

Lessa el-helw mestanneena

The good is still waiting for us

[Outro]

مش بالساهل...

Mesh bel sahel...

It's not easy...

بس هنعيش...

Bas han'eesh...

But we will live...

واللي جاي أحلى...

W elli gay ahla...

And what's coming is better...

إن شاء الله.

In sha' Allah.

God willing.

Lines explained

“مين حقيقي ومين ملاك”

Min haqiqi w min malak

Who is real and who is an angel (fake)

This line plays on the double meaning of 'malak' in Arabic, which can mean 'angel' or 'owner/possessor'. In this context, it implies distinguishing between those who are genuinely good (like angels) and those who are merely pretending or are self-serving.

“مش هشتريه لو ببلاش كمان”

Mesh hashtreeh law bebalash kaman

I won't buy them back even for free

This is a strong declaration of self-worth and refusal to engage with those who have devalued the singer. It means that someone who betrayed them when it was easy will not be welcomed back, even if they offered themselves for free.

“طلع فيهم ألف ممثل”

Tala' feehum alf momassel

It turned out there were a thousand actors among them

This line expresses disillusionment, realizing that many people who appeared trustworthy or sincere were actually deceptive, like actors playing a role.
