[Verse 1]
كنت أظنّ إن الغلا يشفع خطانا
Kuntu aẓunn inna al-ghalā yashfa' khaṭānā
I thought love would forgive our mistakes
لين شفتك تترك أيّامك معاي
Līn shuftak tatruk ayyāmik ma'āy
Until I saw you leaving your days with me
كنت أحسب للوداع ألفين كلمة
Kuntu aḥsib lil-wadā' alfayn kalimah
I used to count a thousand words for farewell
وأثر صمتك كان آخر ردّ معاك
Wa athar ṣamtak kān ākhar radd ma'āk
But your silence was the last reply from you
[Chorus]
وش بقى لي من غلاك إلا غلاك؟
Wish baqā lī min ghalāk illā ghalāk?
What's left of your love but your love?
كل ما حاولت أسلّى زاد شوقي
Kull mā ḥāwalt asallā zād shawqī
Every time I tried to forget, my longing increased
يا خسارة قلب ما قصّر معاك
Yā khasārat qalb mā qaṣṣar ma'āk
Oh, what a loss for a heart that never failed you
يوم جيت أودّعك خانتني حروفي
Yawm jit awaddi'ak khānatnī ḥurūfī
The day I came to bid you farewell, my words betrayed me
[Verse 2]
ما تمنّيتك تردّ اللي مضى
Mā tamannaytuk tarudd illī maḍā
I didn't wish for you to bring back what's past
كنت أبي منك العتب قبل الوداع
Kuntu abī mink al-'atab qabl al-wadā'
I just wanted your reproach before the farewell
لو عتبت، أهون عليّ من هالسكوت
Law 'atabt, ahwan 'alayya min hādhā as-sukūt
If you had reproached, it would be easier for me than this silence
كان أدري وش بقى في خاطرك
Kān adrī wish baqā fī khāṭirk
Then I would know what was left in your heart
[Chorus]
وش بقى لي من غلاك إلا غلاك؟
Wish baqā lī min ghalāk illā ghalāk?
What's left of your love but your love?
كل ما حاولت أسلّى زاد شوقي
Kull mā ḥāwalt asallā zād shawqī
Every time I tried to forget, my longing increased
يا خسارة قلب ما قصّر معاك
Yā khasārat qalb mā qaṣṣar ma'āk
Oh, what a loss for a heart that never failed you
يوم جيت أودّعك خانتني حروفي
Yawm jit awaddi'ak khānatnī ḥurūfī
The day I came to bid you farewell, my words betrayed me
[Bridge]
لين متى وأنا على باب الرجا؟
Līn matā wa anā 'alā bāb ar-rajā?
How long will I be at the door of hope?
ألتفت لا مرّ صوتٍ مثل صوتك
Altifit lā marra ṣawtin mithl ṣawtik
Turning around when a voice like yours passes by
قلت بنسى، وكل ما طال الجفا
Qult bansā, wa kull mā ṭāl al-jafā
I said I would forget, and every time the estrangement lengthened
ردّني قلبي لنفس السؤال
Raddanī qalbī li-nafs as-su'āl
My heart brought me back to the same question
[Final Chorus]
وش بقى لي من غلاك إلا غلاك؟
Wish baqā lī min ghalāk illā ghalāk?
What's left of your love but your love?
كل ما حاولت أسلّى زاد شوقي
Kull mā ḥāwalt asallā zād shawqī
Every time I tried to forget, my longing increased
يا خسارة قلب ما قصّر معاك
Yā khasārat qalb mā qaṣṣar ma'āk
Oh, what a loss for a heart that never failed you
يوم جيت أودّعك خانتني حروفي
Yawm jit awaddi'ak khānatnī ḥurūfī
The day I came to bid you farewell, my words betrayed me
[Outro]
وش بقى لي من غلاك؟
Wish baqā lī min ghalāk?
What's left of your love?
إلّا غلاك
Illā ghalāk
But your love
Lines explained
“وأثر صمتك كان آخر ردّ معاك”
Wa athar ṣamtak kān ākhar radd ma'āk
But your silence was the last reply from you
The speaker emphasizes that the ex-lover's silence was more impactful and painful than any spoken words of farewell could have been, highlighting the depth of their hurt.
“وش بقى لي من غلاك إلا غلاك؟”
Wish baqā lī min ghalāk illā ghalāk?
What's left of your love but your love?
This rhetorical question, which is also the song's title, expresses the paradox of the speaker's enduring love despite the breakup. It implies that even after everything, the only thing that truly remains of the relationship is the love itself, which continues to affect the speaker.
“كنت أبي منك العتب قبل الوداع”
Kuntu abī mink al-'atab qabl al-wadā'
I just wanted your reproach before the farewell
The speaker reveals that they would have preferred an argument or blame (reproach) from their former lover before the farewell, as it would have provided some closure or understanding, unlike the painful ambiguity of silence.
