Lines explained

“كْويتاهْ وَدْفَنْتاااهْ”

Kwitah w dafantaah

I burned it and buried it

The singer uses a strong metaphor of burning and burying his heart to emphasize that his feelings for her are completely dead and cannot be revived.

“لْقيتْ مولاتْ الداراا اااا”

Lqit moulat darraa aaa

I found the lady of the house, ah ah ah

Finding 'the lady of the house' signifies that he has moved on and found a new, serious partner, implying stability and commitment, which is a definitive rejection of his ex's attempt to return.

“ايا كونْ دَرْتْ عْلى رايْ يَمّااا اا”

Aya koun dart 'ala ray yamaaa aa

Hey, if I had listened to my mother, ah ah

This line expresses regret, indicating that his mother had warned him about this person, and he now realizes the wisdom of her advice after experiencing the pain of the relationship.
