اللي باعنا خسر دلعنا راح لحاله يلا يودعنا
The one who sold us lost our charm, he's off on his own, let's bid him farewell.
بالسلامة والقلب ناسيه (بالسلامة والقلب ناسيه)
With goodbye, the heart forgets (with goodbye, the heart forgets).
آه، واللي سابنا قفلنا بابنا يلا بينا وفرنا تعبنا
Oh, and the one who left us, we closed our door, come on, let's go, we've saved our effort.
الحياة مش واقفة عليه (الحياة مش واقفة عليه)
Life doesn’t pause for him (life doesn’t pause for him).
آه، اللي باعنا خسر دلعنا راح لحاله يلا يودعنا
Oh, the one who sold us lost our charm, he's off on his own, let's bid him farewell.
بالسلامة والقلب ناسيه (بالسلامة والقلب ناسيه)
With goodbye, the heart forgets (with goodbye, the heart forgets).
آه، واللي سابنا قفلنا بابنا يلا بينا وفرنا تعبنا
Oh, and the one who left us, we closed our door, come on, let's go, we've saved our effort.
الحياة مش واقفة عليه (الحياة مش واقفة عليه)
Life doesn’t pause for him (life doesn’t pause for him).
من أمتى بيفرقلنا مين راح أو مين أستنى؟
Since when does it matter who left or who stayed?
اللي يحبنا يكسب ودنا ويضحي عشانا
The one who loves us wins our affection and sacrifices for us.
مبسوط على كده مية فل ورضا ومش عاجبه يسيبنا
Feeling great, a hundred times fulfilled and content, yet he doesn't like to leave us behind.
هو اللي إختار بإيديه النار وخرج من الجنة
He chose the fire with his own hands and walked out of paradise.
اللي باعنا خسر دلعنا راح لحاله يلا يودعنا
Whoever sold us has lost; our charm has left him, goodbye to that.
بالسلامة والقلب ناسيه (بالسلامة والقلب ناسيه)
Safe travels, and my heart doesn't remember him (safe travels, and my heart doesn't remember him).
اللي غايب مالوهش نايب
The one who's absent has no replacement.
راح حبيب يجي غيره حبايب
A beloved one has gone, another sweet one will come.
عمرنا ما هنسأل فيه (عمرنا ما هنسأل فيه)
We will never ask about him (we will never ask about him).
واللي يخرج بره حياتنا عادي بنشيله من حساباتنا
And whoever steps out of our lives, we simply remove from our accounts.
مش هنتحايل عليه (مش هنتحايل عليه)
We won't beg him to stay (we won't beg him to stay).
آه، واللي غايب مالوهش نايب
Oh, and the one who's absent has no replacement.
راح حبيب يجي غيره حبايب
A lover has gone, another will come my dear.
عمرنا ما هنسأل فيه (عمرنا ما هنسأل فيه)
We'll never ask about him (we'll never ask about him).
آه، من أمتى بيفرقلنا مين راح أو مين أستنى؟
Ah, since when does it matter who's gone or who is waiting?
اللي يحبنا يكسب ودنا ويضحي عشانا
Those who love us win our affection and sacrifice for us.
مبسوط على كده مية فل ورضا مش عاجبه يسيبنا
Happy like this, a hundred percent, if he’s not satisfied, let him leave us.
هو اللي إختار بإيديه النار وخرج من الجنة
He chose with his own hands the fire and left paradise.
واللي مبيعرفش قيمتنا تبقى سكته غير سكتنا
And those who don't know our worth belong to a different world than ours.
خد معاه الشر وراح (خد معاه الشر وراح)
He took the bad with him and went (he took the bad with him and went).
مش هنتعب روحنا عشانه ألف مين يتمنوا مكانه
We won’t tire ourselves for him; a thousand wish they were in his place.
هو كده ريح وإرتاح (هو كده ريح وإرتاح)
He’s like this, chill and relaxed (he’s like this, chill and relaxed).
واللي مبيعرفش قيمتنا تبقى سكته غير سكتنا
And those who don't know our worth will take a path that's not ours.
خد معاه الشر وراح (خد معاه الشر وراح)
He took the evil with him and left (he took the evil with him and left).
آه، من أمتى بيفرقلنا مين راح أو مين أستنى؟
Ah, since when do we distinguish who's gone or who's waiting?
اللي يحبنا يكسب ودنا ويضحي عشانا
Whoever loves us wins our affection and sacrifices for us.
مبسوط على كده مية فل ورضا ومش عاجبه يسيبنا
Happy about it, a hundred percent satisfaction, and if he doesn't like it, let him leave us.
هو اللي إختار بإيديه النار وخرج من الجنة
He chose with his own hands the fire and stepped out of paradise.
اللي باعنا خسر دلعنا راح لحاله يلا يودعنا
Whoever sold us lost our charm, left alone, now bids us farewell.
بالسلامة والقلب ناسيه (بالسلامة والقلب ناسيه)
Goodbye, and the heart has forgotten (goodbye, and the heart has forgotten).
(اللي باعنا، اللي باعنا، اللي باعنا)
(Whoever sold us, whoever sold us, whoever sold us)
