تذكر اللحظات اللي بعتني فيها؟
Do you remember the moments you sent me away?
نظرتي ونبضات قلبي وأنت تطفيها
Your gaze and the heartbeat as you extinguished it
جيت أبحكي ما حكيت
I came to speak, but I spoke nothing
ما مدى أنت مشيت
How far you walked away
وما التفت
And you didn't look back
وأنا من سابع سما الأحلام طحت
And I fell from the seventh sky of dreams
هدمتني، بنيت نفسي وعشت ونسيتك خلاص
You broke me, I built myself up and lived, and forgot you completely
كسرتني، لملمت أشتاتي ولا غيرك نقص
You shattered me, I gathered my scattered pieces, and no one else is missing
هدمتني، بنيت نفسي وعشت ونسيتك خلاص
You broke me, I built myself up and lived, and forgot you completely
كسرتني، لملمت أشتاتي ولا غيرك نقص
You shattered me, I gathered my scattered pieces, and no one else is missing
ليه راجع، من تبي؟
Why are you back, who do you want?
عاشقك ذاك الغبي؟
That foolish lover of yours?
ليه راجع، من تبي؟
Why are you back, who do you want?
عاشقك ذاك الغبي؟
That foolish lover of yours?
اللي كنت أنت عيونه
The one you were his eyes
وكنت أول من يخونه
And I was the first to betray him
اللي كنت أنت عيونه
The one you were his eyes
كنت أول من يخونه
I was the first to betray him
انتظر لي مات
Wait for me to die
طيب صاحبي
Okay, my friend
ليه راجع، من تبي؟
Why are you back, who do you want?
عاشقك ذاك الغبي؟
That foolish one who loves you?
ليه راجع، من تبي؟
Why are you back, who do you want?
عاشقك ذاك الغبي؟
That foolish one who loves you?
اللي كنت أنت عيونه
The one who used to be your eyes,
كنت أول من يخونه
I was the first to betray him.
اللي كنت أنت عيونه
The one who used to be your eyes,
كنت أول من يخونه
I was the first to betray him.
انتظر لي مات
Wait for me to die,
طيب صاحبي
Alright, my friend.
تذكر اللحظات اللي بعتني فيها؟
Do you remember the moments when you sent me away?
نظرتي ونبضات قلبي وأنت تطفيها
Your gaze and the heartbeat as you extinguished it.
جيت أبحكي ما حكيت
I came to speak but remained silent.
ما مدى أنت مشيت
How far have you walked?
وما التفت
And you didn't turn back.
وأنا من سابع سما الأحلام طحت
While I fell from the seventh sky of dreams.
