[Intro]

أحمد... آه يا أحمد

Ahmad... Ah ya Ahmad

Ahmed... Oh Ahmed

عايش وسط ناس مش فاهمين

'Aayesh wasat nas mish fahmin

Living among people who don't understand

عالم غريب، والكل لابس قناع

'Alam gharib, wal-kull labis qina'

A strange world, and everyone wears a mask

واللي قلبه أبيض بقى متهم وسط الضباع

Wal-li qalbu abyad baqa muttaham wasat al-dhiba'

And the one with a pure heart is accused among the hyenas

[Verse 1]

أحمد عايش في عالم غريب

Ahmad 'aayesh fi 'alam gharib

Ahmed lives in a strange world

كل يوم حكاية وكل صاحب حبيب

Kull yawm hikaya wa kull sahib habib

Every day a story, and every friend a lover (or beloved)

يضحك في وشك ويخبي السكاكين

Yadhak fi wishshak wa yakhbi al-sakakin

He smiles in your face and hides the knives

والجدعنة بقت ذكرى من سنين

Wal-jad'ana baqat dhikra min sneen

And chivalry has become a memory from years ago

بيصحى الصبح يسأل نفسه أنا فين؟

Biyasha al-subh yasa'l nafsu ana fein?

He wakes up in the morning asking himself, 'Where am I?'

ليه الطيب دايمًا وسط المجانين؟

Leih al-tayyeb dayman wasat al-majanin?

Why is the good person always among the madmen?

أحلامه كبيرة وجيبه حزين

Ahlamuh kabirah wa jeebuh hazin

His dreams are big, and his pocket is sad

وعقله مسافر بين ألف طريق

Wa 'aqluh musafir bein alf tariq

And his mind travels between a thousand paths

[Hook]

أحمد في عالم غريب

Ahmad fi 'alam gharib

Ahmed in a strange world

لا عارف يهرب ولا لاقي حبيب

La 'aref yahrab wala laqi habib

He can't escape, nor can he find a beloved

بيضحك والوجع جواه عميق

Biyadhak wal-waja' juwah 'amiq

He smiles, and the pain inside him is deep

ماشي لوحده وسط ألف طريق

Mashi lawahdu wasat alf tariq

Walking alone among a thousand paths

يا دنيا قولي إيه الحكاية؟

Ya dunya quli eih al-hikaya?

Oh world, tell me, what's the story?

ليه الحقيقة بقت رواية؟

Leih al-haqiqa baqat riwaya?

Why has truth become a narrative?

كل يوم بنلبس ألف وش

Kull yawm binlabis alf wish

Every day we wear a thousand faces

والقلب تعبان ومحدش حاسس

Wal-qalb ta'ban wa mahaddish hassis

And the heart is tired, and no one feels it

[Verse 2]

شاف العجب وشاف العجايب

Shaf al-'ajab wa shaf al-'ajayeb

He saw wonders and marvels

لقى القريب ساعات بيبقى غايب

Laqa al-qarib sa'at biyabqa ghayeb

He found that sometimes a close one is absent

واللي معاه قرش بقى صاحب مقام

Wal-li ma'ah qirsh baqa sahib maqam

And whoever has money becomes a person of status

واللي معاه قلب اتساب للآلام

Wal-li ma'ah qalb ittab lil-alam

And whoever has a heart is left to pain

بيحلم يطير فوق السحاب

Biyahlam yateer fawq al-sahab

He dreams of flying above the clouds

لكن طريقه مليان صعاب

Lakin tariquh malyan sa'ab

But his path is full of difficulties

قالوا له اهدى، قالهم مش قادر

Qalu lah ihda, qalahum mish qadir

They told him to calm down, he told them, 'I can't'

أنا شايل دنيا ومش شايل خاطر

Ana shayel dunya wa mish shayel khatir

I'm carrying a world, and I'm not carrying a thought (or consideration)

[Bridge]

مش مجنون، بس العالم مجنون

Mish majnun, bas al-'alam majnun

Not crazy, but the world is crazy

كلهم بيتكلموا ومحدش يكون

Kulluhum biyetkallamu wa mahaddish yakun

They all talk, but no one acts (or is)

أحمد لسه عنده أمل يعيش

Ahmad lissa 'anduh amal ya'ish

Ahmed still has hope to live

حتى لو الدنيا قالتلو ما تعيش

Hatta law al-dunya qalatlu ma ta'ish

Even if the world told him not to live

[Outro]

أحمد في عالم غريب...

Ahmad fi 'alam gharib...

Ahmed in a strange world...

بس لسه قلبه مش بيخيب

Bas lissa qalbuh mish biyakhayyeb

But his heart still doesn't fail

مهما الزمن يلف ويدور

Mahma al-zaman yaliff wa yadour

No matter how time turns and spins

لسه جواه حلم مستني النور 🎤🔥

Lissa juwah hulm mustanni al-nour 🎤🔥

He still has a dream inside him waiting for the light 🎤🔥

Lines explained

“واللي قلبه أبيض بقى متهم وسط الضباع”

Wal-li qalbu abyad baqa muttaham wasat al-dhiba'

And the one with a pure heart is accused among the hyenas

This line highlights the core theme of the song: the vulnerability of kind-hearted people in a harsh, deceptive world, likening the cruel people to 'hyenas'.

“بيضحك والوجع جواه عميق”

Biyadhak wal-waja' juwah 'amiq

He smiles, and the pain inside him is deep

This line captures Ahmed's internal struggle, showing that his outward appearance of happiness hides deep inner pain, a common theme of resilience in the face of adversity.

“أنا شايل دنيا ومش شايل خاطر”

Ana shayel dunya wa mish shayel khatir

I'm carrying a world, and I'm not carrying a thought (or consideration)

This idiomatic expression means he is burdened by the weight of the world's problems and cannot afford to be considerate or gentle, emphasizing his overwhelming struggles.
