أريد الله يسامحني
I want God to forgive me
لان أذيت نفسي هواي
Because I hurt myself so much
طيبة قلبي أذتني
The kindness of my heart has hurt me
تعبتك ياروحي وياي
I've exhausted you, oh my soul, with me
أريد الله يسامحني
I want God to forgive me
لان أذيت نفسي هواي
Because I hurt myself so much
طيبة قلبي أذتني
The kindness of my heart has hurt me
تعبتك ياروحي وياي
I've exhausted you, oh my soul, with me
أنا بحقي غلطان
I am truly in the wrong
لعبت بحالي لعبه
I've played with my own fate
كنت بالناس وهمان
I was among the people, lost in thought
مشيت بنية طيبه
I walked with a kind intention
صاحبت الوفي وخان
I befriended the loyal, yet I was betrayed
غدر بيه الأحبه
The beloved ones deceived me
شلون تعلي بنيان
How can you raise a foundation?
ويروح لناس غربه
And go to those in a foreign land
أنا بحقي غلطان
In my rights, I am mistaken
لعبت بحالي لعبه
You played with my state like a game
كنت بالناس وهمان
I was among the people, lost in thought
مشيت بنية طيبه
I walked with a kind intention
صاحبت الوفي وخان
The loyal friend betrayed me
غدر بيه الأحبه
The beloved ones have deceived me
شلون تعلي بنيان
How do you build a foundation?
ويروح لناس غربه
And then go to others in a foreign land?
وعد مني وعد
A promise from me, a promise
بعد ما أثق أبد
I will never trust again
ولا أنطي مجال
Nor will I give them a chance
كل شي واله حد
Everything has its limits
وعد مني وعد
A promise from me, a promise
بعد ما أثق أبد
I will never trust again
ولا أنطي مجال
And I won't give any room
كل شي واله حد
Everything has its limits
أريد أعتب على حظي
I want to blame my fate
الويه الناس ما قاعد
The faces of people are absent
خلى اللي وفوا وياي
Let those who stood by me remain
تقريبا ولا واحد
Almost no one at all
أريد أعتب على حظي
I want to blame my fate
الويه الناس ما قاعد
The faces of people are absent
خلى اللي وفوا وياي
Let those who stood by me remain
تقريبا ولا واحد
Almost no one at all
اني هوايه ممنون
I am so grateful,
من العاشرتهم
To those I have loved,
علموني البكي شلون
They taught me how to cry,
البروحي شلتهم
They took my spirit away,
بسيطة سهلة وتهون
It's simple, easy, it'll pass,
هم يفتر وقتهم
They waste their time,
عليا بظهري يحكون
They talk behind my back,
الدنيا غيرتهم
The world changed them,
اني هوايه ممنون
I am so grateful,
من العاشرتهم
To those I have loved.
علموني البكي شلون
Teach me how to cry, eh-eh
البروحي شلتهم
The spirits, they've taken them away
بسيطة سهلة وتهون
It's simple, easy, and it fades
هم يفتر وقتهم
They waste their time, yeh
عليا بظهري يحكون
They talk behind my back, eh-eh
الدنيا غيرتهم
The world has changed them
وعد مني وعد
A promise from me, a promise
بعد ما أثق أبد
I will never trust again, yeh
ولا أنطي مجال
Nor will I give a chance
كل شي واله حد
Everything has its limits
وعد مني وعد
A promise from me, a promise.
بعد ما أثق أبد
After I trust, never.
ولا أنطي مجال
I won't give any chance.
كل شي واله حد
Everything has its limit.
أريد الله يسامحني
I want God to forgive me.
لان أذيت نفسي هواي
Because I've hurt myself so much.
