عند سنين ما رقدت الليلIt’s been years since I’ve slept at night.
كي تشوف تدوخ، في شوية سوايع خسرت سنينIf you saw it you’d get dizzy; in just a few hours, I’ve lost years.
ما نحبش نبطّل بارانوI don’t want to stop this paranoia.
قولي انت اش تعرف عيش ظلام وطريق طويلTell me, what do you know about living in darkness and a long road?
عند سنين ما رقدت الليلIt’s been years since I’ve slept at night.
كي تشوف تدوخ، في شوية سوايع خسرت سنينIf you saw it you’d get dizzy; in just a few hours, I’ve lost years.
ما نحبش نبطّل بارانوI don’t want to stop this paranoia.
قولي انت اش تعرف عيش ظلام وطريق طويلTell me, what do you know about living in darkness and a long road?
كان تشوف قداش متوحش جونتة تحت حيط الحومةIf only you could see how much I miss a ‘jo#nt’ under the neighborhood wall.
كان تشوف قداش ضحكنا بلي عملو هوماIf only you could see how much we laughed, despite what they did.
كي في بالهم طاحت بينا نكرو فيساع نسوناWhen they thought we fell, they denied us and quickly forgot us.
وهي الحب نساتني وقت بالحجوز حطوناAnd she, my love, forgot me when they locked us up in detention.
بارانو باقي يحارب بلي الدنيا تعذب فيهParanoia keeps fighting, no matter how much the world tortures him.
بار امور يتمنى فقلب يحن عليهOut of love, he wishes for a heart that cares for him.
بارانو كان الحنينة تسكت فيهParanoia, only the kind woman could silence it in him.
بار امور قلب حزين يمني فيهOut of love, a sad heart gives him hope.
عين تدمع، قلبي تعب، فاش تحكيلي، قالو فلوسEye tearing up, my heart is tired, what are you telling me? They said money.
يحب يسمع برشا تعب، دنيا قة باش جوزHe wants to hear about the struggle; this world is a ‘b#tch’ but it’ll pass.
ماضي تعدى، نعيش بين ناسي، لابس نوزThe past has gone, I live among my people, wearing ‘Noz’.
شفت القمع ، رفت قضيتي، وحدي فبيتي باب نوزI saw repression, I pleaded my case, alone in my room at ‘Bab Noz’.
بارانو، كان بوجيعة ودونيParanoia, they inflicted pain on me.
مالا عريبة حسدونيWhat a bunch of people envied me.
دخلو لقلبي مسونيThey entered my heart and hurt me.
عسونيThey watched me.
عند سنين ما رقدت الليلIt’s been years since I’ve slept at night.
كي تشوف تدوخ، في شوية سوايع خسرت سنينIf you saw it you’d get dizzy; in just a few hours, I’ve lost years.
ما نحبش نبطّل بارانوI don’t want to stop this paranoia.
قولي انت اش تعرف عيش ظلام وطريق طويلTell me, what do you know about living in darkness and a long road?

قولي انت اش تعرف عيش ظلام وطريق طويلTell me, what do you know about living in darkness and a long road?
وطريق طويل تعدى بيا، مش فاهم الحكايةAnd the long road passed me by, I don’t understand the story.
الحب صعيب تغرمت بيا خاطر نعشق شارعLove is hard, she fell for me because I adore the street.
حلال يجيب الحرام، ما يجيب ما يهمش فاش تفارعHalal brings Haram, whatever it brings, it doesn’t matter what you struggle with.
المليح يطيب يمشي سمارا يبقى سامحThe good ones ripen and leave, but Samara remains forgiving.
يبقى سامح فيكم يرضيHe remains forgiving, trying to satisfy you.
بلي عملو جملة معاهم ما نسلم، الشدة في ربيDespite everything they did, I won’t give up on them; my strength is in God.
خليك قاري في مخك، كا نعديلك خاطر متربيKeep this read in your mind: if I let it slide, it’s because I was raised well.
ضارب مخك كي زبي، مولوتوف نعيي في الكمبيYour brain is completely f#cked; Molotov, I’m shouting in the police van.
يحبو يفكّو قلبي الحنينThey want to steal my kind heart.
خوذ الدنيا، أمي اعطيني صدرك الحنينTake the world, but Mother, give me your comforting chest.
نتوما غنية، احنا كبار والدينا راضينYou are rich, but we are great because our parents are satisfied with us.
كي دور المشمم حط سطر ونعمل عينينWhen the ‘sn#ff’ goes around, lay a line and I’ll get wide-eyed.
وبا لافاميAnd forget the family.
بارانو باقي يحارب بلي الدنيا تعذب فيهParanoia keeps fighting, no matter how much the world tortures him.
بار امور يتمنى فقلب يحن عليهOut of love, he wishes for a heart that cares for him.
بارانو كان الحنينة تسكت فيهParanoia, only the kind woman could silence it in him.
بار امور قلب حزين قعد منيكOut of love, a sad heart remained scr#wed.
عند سنين ما رقدت الليلIt’s been years since I’ve slept at night.
كي تشوف تدوخ، في شوية سوايع خسرت سنينIf you saw it you’d get dizzy; in just a few hours, I’ve lost years.
