ما كنت بسيط (بسيط)
I was never simple (simple)
وماشي بطيبتي جنب الحيط
And I walked with my kindness beside the wall
ورايق بالي مهما جرالي
And my mind was clear no matter what happened to me
راضي بحالي بس لقيت
Content with my state, but I found
في لحظة الدنيا فجأتني وعدت فوقي هدتني
In a moment, the world surprised me and overwhelmed me
وقست قلبي خليتني واحد تاني ومعرفوش
And it tested my heart, making me someone else I don't know
وفضلت كل يوم بتضيق لحد ما شب فيا حريق
And I kept tightening every day until a fire ignited in me
وخلاني أروح لطريق عكس إرادتي ما اختارتوش
And it led me down a path against my will, one I didn't choose
فهمت الناس وألاعيبهم، بطريقتهم بلاعبهم
I understood people and their tricks, playing with them in their ways
ووسطيهم بقيت سيدهم، بقيت بالقسوة دي حاببني
And among them, I became their master, loving this harshness.
بخاف مني على الدنيا، وأخاف من الدنيا على قلبي
I fear for the world from myself, and I fear for my heart from the world.
أنا مش حابب القسوة ومش حابب كمان طيبتي
I don't want harshness, nor do I want my kindness.
وبخسر كل يوم نفسي في حرب أغلبها تغلبني
Every day I lose myself in a war where most of it defeats me.
ما بين خوفي وبين يأسي سنين العمر سرقتني
Between my fear and my despair, the years of my life have stolen me away.
يا دنيا بطبعها بتغر قتلتي براءتي ساق الشر
Oh world, with your nature, you deceive; you have killed my innocence with the poison of sin.
يا سكة أنا روحتها متضطر، يا ذنب في نفسي أنا عملته
Oh path, I walked it out of necessity, oh sin within me that I committed.
مفيش غيري أنا اللي اتضر وعمري ما هنسى يوم على بر
There's no one but me who has suffered, and I'll never forget a day on the shore.
طبيعي اللي اتسقى بالمر من يومه يموت قلبه
It's natural for one who has tasted bitterness since day one to have a dying heart.
فهمت الناس وألاعيبهم، بطريقتهم بلاعبهم
I understood people and their games, I played with them in their own ways.
ووسطيهم بقيت سيدهم، بقيت بالقسوة دي حاببني
And amongst them, I became their master; with this harshness, I’ve grown to love myself.
بخاف مني على الدنيا، وأخاف من الدنيا على قلبي
I fear the world for my heart, and I fear for the world itself.
أنا مش حابب القسوة، آه ومش حابب كمان طيبتي
I don't like cruelty, ah, and I don't like my kindness either.
وبخسر كل يوم نفسي في حرب أغلبها تغلبني
And I lose myself daily in a war that often conquers me.
ما بين خوفي وبين يأسي سنين العمر سرقتني
Between my fear and my despair, the years of life have stolen me.
