"l'histoire" صبرت شحال ما تبدل والو
I have endured for so long, yet nothing changes
كوشمار في وسط منام ما شاف خباله
A nightmare in the midst of sleep, lost in my thoughts
كل مال قلبي ماله
Every time my heart is in turmoil
معروفة ظالمة أنت
You are well-known for being unjust
دنيا وما فيك الخير
In a world where goodness is scarce
باش تجي فيك جات فيا
To come to you, it came to me instead
غبنتيني وما زالت صغير
You deceived me while I was still so young
ما محضرة النية
Not prepared for this intention
مواك قيد الطير
A bird caught in the leash of its fate
معروفة ظالمة أنت
You are well-known for being unjust
فيك اللي يحبوا نفس الفساد من يعكسوا يخلوك هيا
In you, there's the one who loves the same corruption, they turn you around, oh,
وفيك اللي باعوا البلاد باسم الحرية
And in you, there are those who sold the country in the name of freedom.
وفيك اللي صح له الفتات ورضى بالوضعية
And in you, there are those who ended up with scraps and settled for the state.
معروفة ظالمة
Well-known injustice.
حرفوا الحكاية داروا بك ليزافير
They twisted the story, turned you into a liar.
شاهد عليك من بكري وانت صابرة شي معايا
Witnessed from long ago, and you remained patient, something with me.
بلادي لي بابي أولادك تعتيقة خاطيهم الغدرة
My country, for my father, your children are in ruins from their betrayal.
على بالي بك لا تبالي عزاس عليك أنا والي
I know you, don't mind me, it's your honor that's at stake.
هذو بانوا بك وتيروا اللي يغلط يخلص من تاني
These showed themselves to you and those who err pay the price again.
ما ديري من داير حسابي قراني الزمان
Don't concern yourself with my surroundings; the times speak my truth.
أنت ياالامل محارب عليك وعيشي في سلام
You, oh hope, warrior, you live in peace.
ما دير تقول واش داني ماشي فراني
Don't say if it's me that has been left behind.
وتخمم في اللي رجاني تخمم في اللي
And think of the one who awaited me, think of the one.
والعقل رايح والقلب ماجي
And the mind is drifting while the heart isn't coming.
وضعية تعقد إنسان
The situation complicates a person.
درت أنا وربحت لاشي
I gave my all and gained nothing.
نعرف روحي يعوديجري
I know my soul runs away again.
ما نفك ما نحاجي
I can't free myself, I can't negotiate.
نموت أنا وأنت تحيا
I will die while you live on.
تريحي شاهدة علي
You bear witness to my rest.
نديك أنت ونروح بعيد نسيك
I call you and we drift far away, forgetting you
حكاية الباصي بروميس والعدرة بالبيت
The story of the busy promise and the virgin at home
حاب نحي راسي ونعيش في سماه ونزيد
I want to lift my head, live in his sky, and soar higher
عند العالي كلش من راسي
With the high ones, everything starts from my mind
وتريحي شاهدة علي
And you rest, a witness to me
حنا اللي مشينا "fil art noir"
We are the ones who walked in the 'dark art'
"fil art noir"
'In the dark art'
تبقى كل "la mémoire"
Every memory remains
داروا "les histoires"
They spun the stories
"les histoires"
'The stories'
تبقى في "la mémoire"
You remain in 'the memory'
"la mémoire"
'the memory'
