[Verse 1]
يا غربة خادتني لبعيد وبتسالني لوين رايح
Ya ghurba khaditni laba'eed w bitis'alni lawain rayih
Oh, estrangement, you've taken me far away and you ask me where I'm going
مزاجي متكدر ومش مرتاح محتاج أتصفى
Mazagi mitkaddir w mish mirtah mihtag atsafah
My mood is troubled and I'm not comfortable, I need to clear my head
حاسس بالوحدة ومش سعيد، زمان ما كنت بوقف ضحك، إيه اللي حصل يا محروس يا علق؟
I feel lonely and not happy; in the past, I never stopped laughing. What happened, Mahrous, you clingy one?
فين أيام الضحك الصافي والسهر على الأسرّة
Fain ayyam id-dahk is-safi w is-sahar 'ala al-'asirra
Where are the days of pure laughter and staying up late on beds?
أيام ما كنا نقعد صحبة والزمن عمال يدور
Ayyam ma kunna na'ud suhba w iz-zaman 'ammal yidoor
Days when we used to sit together as companions, and time kept turning
يا غربة خادتني لبعيد وبتسالني لوين رايح
Ya ghurba khaditni laba'eed w bitis'alni lawain rayih
Oh, estrangement, you've taken me far away and you ask me where I'm going
[Chorus]
فاكر لما كان يجي الصديق ويقولي في صفقة جديدة، كانت صفقة مش تمام بس الأمور اتظبطت
Fakir lamma kan yigi is-sadiq w yi'uli fi safqa gedida, kanat safqa mish tamam bas al-'umoor itzabbatit
Remember when the friend used to come and tell me about a new deal? It wasn't a good deal, but things got sorted out
كانت فيها تحديات بس كانت أيام
Kanat fiha tahaddiyat bas kanat ayyam
It had challenges, but those were the days
[Verse 2]
يا لها من أيام، يا لها من أيام
Ya laha min ayyam, ya laha min ayyam
Oh, what days, oh, what days
فاكر لما نروح المصيف ونسهر للفجر نمزح ونصحّي اللي نايم بتعب، وكانت أيام
Fakir lamma nrooh il-masyaf w nis-har lil-fagr nimzah w nishahhi illi nayim bi-ta'ab, w kanat ayyam
Remember when we'd go to the resort and stay up till dawn, joking and waking up the tired sleeper, and those were the days
وعايزين نقول للرجال هنا في المجموعة، هل أيامنا الحلوة هترجع ولا هنعيش على الذكرى؟
W 'ayzeen ni'ool lir-riggal hena fil-magmoo'a, hal ayyamna il-hilwa hatirga' wala han'eesh 'ala iz-zikra?
And we want to tell the men here in the group, will our good days return, or will we live on memories?
يا غربة خادتني لبعيد وبتسالني لوين رايح
Ya ghurba khaditni laba'eed w bitis'alni lawain rayih
Oh, estrangement, you've taken me far away and you ask me where I'm going
[Chorus]

“يا غربة خادتني لبعيد وبتسالني لوين رايح”
Ya ghurba khaditni laba'eed w bitis'alni lawain rayih
Oh, estrangement, you've taken me far away and you ask me where I'm going
The singer personifies 'estrangement' (ghurba), addressing it directly as a force that has led him away from his familiar life and happiness, questioning his destination.
“حاسس بالوحدة ومش سعيد، زمان ما كنت بوقف ضحك، إيه اللي حصل يا محروس يا علق؟”
I feel lonely and not happy; in the past, I never stopped laughing. What happened, Mahrous, you clingy one?
This line highlights the stark contrast between his past joyful self and his current state. The mention of 'Mahrous, you clingy one' is an informal, almost teasing address to a friend, implying a close bond and shared past experiences.
“وعايزين نقول للرجال هنا في المجموعة، هل أيامنا الحلوة هترجع ولا هنعيش على الذكرى؟”
W 'ayzeen ni'ool lir-riggal hena fil-magmoo'a, hal ayyamna il-hilwa hatirga' wala han'eesh 'ala iz-zikra?
And we want to tell the men here in the group, will our good days return, or will we live on memories?
This rhetorical question encapsulates the song's central theme of nostalgia and longing for the past. He's asking if the good times are truly over, leaving only memories.
