كنا غاية
We were the destination
مع بعضنا نتوالفوا، شفتي حدايا
Together we harmonized, did you see my hands?
ما ضنيت ااه نتفارقوا، كنتي معايا
I never thought we would part, you were with me
عطيتك قلبي وخليتيني أنا مغروم
I gave you my heart and left me lovestruck
قلبي مجروح
My heart is wounded
شوفي الدنيا
Look at the world
دارت عليك قولي ليا واش ربحنا
It turned around you, tell me what did we gain?
خسارة حبك قتلني، وأنت في محنة
The loss of your love killed me, and you're in trouble
منك مضرور، قلبي مجروح
I'm hurt by you, my heart is wounded
يا أنا اداتني الموجة اداتني وخلاتلي القلب معبي
Oh, I was taken by the wave, it caught me and left my heart full
وأنا حاب نشوف، وينه زهري؟
And I want to see, where is my flower?
خليت الميمة تبكي
I left my mother crying
يا أنا خليت الميمة تبكي
Oh, I left my mother crying
يا أنا اداتني الغربة، اداتني وخلاتلي القلب معبي، يا، يا، ياه
Oh, I was taken by longing, it took me and left my heart full, oh, oh, yeah
خليت الميمة تبكي
I left my mother crying
يا أنا خليت الميمة تبكي
Oh, I left my mother crying
سمحتي فيا
You excused me
وسمعت كلام الناس، أنا عملت فيك نية
I heard what people said, I had good intentions for you
خليت كل شي ومشيت غير تكوني معايا
I left everything and walked just to have you by my side
عطيتك قلبي وخليتيني نقطع البحور
I gave you my heart and you made me cross the seas
ما شفت النور
I haven't seen the light
شوفي الدنيا
Look at the world
دارت عليك قولي ليا واش ربحنا
It revolved around you, tell me what we gained
خسارة حبك قتلني وأنت في محنة
The loss of your love killed me while you were in trouble
منك مضرور، قلبي مجروح
From you I'm hurt, my heart is wounded
يا أنا اداتني الموجة، اداتني وخلاتلي القلب معبي
Oh, I was swept away by the wave, taken and left with a heart full
وأنا حاب نشوف، وينه زهري؟
And I want to see, where is my flower?
خليت الميمة تبكي
I made my mother cry
يا أنا خليت الميمة تبكي
Oh, I made my mother cry
يا أنا اداتني الغربة، اداتني وخلاتلي القلب معبي، يا، يا، ياه
Oh, I was swept away by the loneliness, taken and left with a heart full, oh, oh, yeah
خليت الميمة تبكي
I made my mother cry
خليت الميمة تبكي
I made my mother cry
(الغربة اداتني)
(The exile took me)
(الغربة اداتني، ياه، ياه)
(The exile took me, yeah, yeah)
اداتني الغربة اداتني
The exile took me, the exile took me
خلاتلي القلب معبي
It left my heart filled
اداتني الغربة اداتني
The exile took me, the exile took me
اداتني الغربة اداتني
The exile took me, the exile took me
خلاتلي القلب معبي
It left my heart filled
داتني الغربة داتني
The exile took me, took me
خلاتلي القلب معبي
You left me with a heart full
اداتني الغربة اداتني
The estrangement has taken me away
اداتني الغربة اداتني
The estrangement has taken me away
خلاتلي القلب معبي
You left me with a heart full
اداتني الغربة اداتني
The estrangement has taken me away
اداتني الغربة اداتني
The estrangement has taken me away
اداتني الغربة اداتني
The estrangement has taken me away
خلاتلي القلب معبي
You left me with a heart full
اداتني الغربة اداتني
The estrangement has taken me away
اداتني الغربة اداتني
The estrangement has taken me away
اداتني الغربة اداتني
The loneliness has taken me, has taken me
خلاتلي القلب معبي
It left my heart so full
اداتني الغربة اداتني
The loneliness has taken me, has taken me
اداتني الغربة اداتني
The loneliness has taken me, has taken me
اداتني الغربة اداتني
The loneliness has taken me, has taken me
خلاتلي القلب معبي
It left my heart so full
