يا أطبطب وأدلع، يا يقوللي أنا اتغيرت عليه
Oh, stroke me and pamper me, he says I’ve changed for him.
أنا أزعل، أولع ما هو كل همه إزاي أرضيه
I get upset, I blaze, since all he cares about is how to please me.
يا أطبطب وأدلع، يا يقوللي أنا اتغيرت عليه
Oh, stroke me and pamper me, he says I’ve changed for him.
أنا أزعل، أولع ما هو كل همه إزاي أرضيه
I get upset, I blaze, since all he cares about is how to please me.
قولوله ده أنا برضو ساعات بحالات
Tell him that sometimes I too have my moods.
مرة أزعل، مرة أديله عيني
Sometimes I get upset, sometimes I give him my eye.
مين فينا على حاله كل الأوقات؟
Who among us stays the same all the time?
ده تاعبني أوي، طلع عيني
He’s exhausting me a lot, he’s making me lose my mind.
قولوله ده أنا برضو (ساعات بحالات)
Tell him that sometimes (I too have my moods).
مرة أزعل، مرة أديله عيني
Sometimes I get upset, sometimes I give him my eye.
مين فينا على حاله كل الأوقات؟
Who among us is the same at all times?
ده تاعبني أوي، طلع عيني
It's really exhausting me, it's driving me crazy.
أطبطب وأدلع، يا يقوللي أنا اتغيرت عليه
I comfort and pamper, yet he tells me I've changed on him.
أنا أزعل، أولع ما هو كل همه إزاي أرضيه
I get upset, he ignites my fire, since all he cares about is how to please me.
لو أزعل منه وأقصر يقول بقصر في حقه وياخد جنب
If I get upset with him and hold back, he'll say I'm neglecting him and take a step back.
ولو أفهمه يقول بظلمه، يفضل يحسسني بمية ذنب
And if I try to explain, he'll say I'm being unfair, always making me feel a hundred guilt.
(لو أزعل منه وأقصر) يقول بقصر في حقه وياخد جنب
(If I get upset with him and hold back) he'll say I'm neglecting him and take a step back.
ولو أفهمه يقول بظلمه، يفضل يحسسني بمية ذنب
And if I try to explain, he'll say I'm being unfair, always making me feel a hundred guilt.
قولوله ده أنا برضو ساعات بحالات
Tell him that sometimes I'm a bit moody too.
مرة أزعل، مرة أديله عيني
Sometimes I get upset, sometimes I give him my all.
مين فينا على حاله كل الأوقات؟
Who among us is always true to themselves?
ده تاعبني أوي طلع عيني
This one has worn me out, it's tearing me apart.
قولوله ده أنا برضو (ساعات بحالات)
Tell him that I'm also (sometimes in my moods).
مرة أزعل، مرة أديله عيني
Sometimes I get upset, sometimes I give him my eye.
مين فينا على حاله كل الأوقات؟
Who among us is always true to themselves?
ده تاعبني أوي طلع عيني
This one has worn me out, it's tearing me apart.
أطبطب وأدلع، يا يقوللي أنا اتغيرت عليه
I caress and spoil, then he says I've changed towards him.
أنا أزعل، أولع ما هو كل همه إزاي أرضيه
I get upset, I ignite it, for all he cares about is how to please him.
قال أنا بتغير والله ده عقله صغير، حير قلبي معاه
He said I'm changing, by God, he's got a small mind, bewildering my heart with him.
وحكم القوي بموت فيه أوي وده اللي صبرني على هواه
And the strong rule, I'm dying for him deeply, and that's what made me endure my passion.
(قال أنا بتغير) والله ده عقله صغير، حير قلبي معاه
(He said I'm changing) By God, his mind is small, he bewildered my heart with him
وحكم القوي بموت فيه أوي وده اللي صبرني على هواه
And the control of the strong, I am deeply in love with it, and that's what kept me patient for his love
قولوله ده أنا برضو ساعات بحالات
Tell him that sometimes I also have my moods
مرة أزعل، مرة أديله عيني
Sometimes I get upset, sometimes I give him my eyes
مين فينا على حاله كل الأوقات؟
Who among us is the same all the time?
ده تاعبني أوي طلع عيني
He’s exhausting me a lot, it's driving me crazy

He’s exhausting me a lot, it's driving me crazy
أطبطب وأدلع، يا يقوللي أنا اتغيرت عليه
I cuddle and spoil, oh, he says I've changed for him
أنا أزعل، أولع ما هو كل همه إزاي أرضيه
I get upset, I ignite, for all he cares is how to please me
يا أطبطب وأدلع، يا يقوللي أنا اتغيرت عليه
Oh, I cuddle and spoil, he says I've changed for him
أنا أزعل، أولع ما هو كل همه إزاي أرضيه
I get upset, I ignite, for all he cares is how to please me

I get upset, I ignite, for all he cares is how to please me
