لما تبقى القسوة نوع من الكرامة
When harshness becomes a kind of dignity,
مجبور أقسى، سامحيني عالقسوة سلف
I must be tough, forgive me for the harshness up front.
مجبور هلق أوقف مع جروحي طرف
I must stop now, facing my wounds.
بعرف عندي ماضي ونقط سودا ما بتنعد
I know I have a past and dark spots that can't be counted.
وإني عامل إشيا ما سمعتي عنا بعد
And I've done things you haven't heard about yet.
بعرف عندي ماضي ونقط سودا ما بتنعد
I know I have a past and dark spots that can't be counted.
وإني عامل إشيا ما سمعتي عنا بعد
And I've done things you haven't heard about yet.
أكتر ناس عرفوا الصح هني اللي عملوا غلط
The ones who knew the truth best are those who did wrong.
فكري منيح لما تحطي عحروف حبنا نقط
Think wisely when you place dots on the letters of our love.

أكتر ناس عرفوا الصح هني اللي عملوا غلط

لازم نتحاسب ونحاسب
We need to account and hold accountable,
ونمر بشدة لنعرف مين هو الصاحب
And we go through hardships to know who the true friend is.
