Baqou khamsa w aachrinThere are twenty-five reasons,
Sabab enni mastennach ay haja men hadwhy I don’t expect anything from anyone anymore.
Mesh aayza akoun aayza ay haja men hadI just don’t want to need anything from anyone.
Nefsi el wajaa yetsaddI wish this pain could finally be stopped.
Nefsi marra bas netkallemI just wish we could talk for once,
W netkallem jaddand actually have a serious conversation,
W maykounch fi el aaddad echaghal w ana bahkiwithout a timer running out while I’m speaking,
W mahassesh enni ktiraand without feeling like I’m just too much.
Wakhda zyada aayn mesahtiLike I’m taking up more space than I should,
W mahassesh enni tqila w ghariba aalikwithout feeling heavy and like a stranger to you.
W matqoulch fi eh w adtar afham men ainikI don’t want you to ask what’s wrong, forcing me to read your eyes,
W mafhamch w adtar enni astantejonly to misunderstand and have to guess what you mean.
Bsounak bethemmesh ana soura betmantajI protect you while you push me aside, like I’m just a picture you’re editing.
Mathawel matkammelDon’t even try, don’t finish your sentence.
Matqoulli matqassarWhy don’t you just tell me, just keep it brief,
Badal mathassesni enni baeeda w mesh waslainstead of making me feel so distant and disconnected?
Mesh fahma ghabiya mo’ziya madiyaI don’t understand, am I stupid, toxic, and materialistic?
Matqoulli kaman chayef eh ghalat feyaWhy don’t you just tell me what else you think is wrong with me?
Mesh habqa darajti mesh kamla mesh miyaMy score will never be perfect, it’s never a hundred percent.
Feyn ayyam makonnaWhere are the days of how we used to be?
Kan aandena waqt w leaab w jadd w hobWe used to have time, playfulness, seriousness, and love.
Delwaqti koll elli nefsi fih hodnBut right now, all I really want is a hug.
Feyn elkonna fih, raddWhere did everything we had go? Answer me.
Feyn elli qolna aalih hobWhere is the thing we used to call love?
“Choukran aala koll haja”“Thank you for everything.”
KhodTake…
Khod balaktake care of yourself.
Baqou khamsa w aachrinThere are twenty-five of them now.
Marra qoult mesh haqarar nafs el ghaltaI once said I wouldn’t repeat the same mistake,
Wel marradi akher marraand that this time would be the last.
Kont aayez dayman aktar w ana lelasaf mesh aandi aktarYou always wanted more, and unfortunately, I don’t have any more to give.
Mana mesh fahma ghabiya mo’ziya madiyaBecause I don’t understand, am I stupid, toxic, and materialistic?
Matqoulli tayeb chayef eh sah feyaThen why don’t you tell me what you actually see right in me?
W qoult amchi qabl mayemchi malhaqtch edih aho sabniI told myself I’d leave before he does, but I wasn’t fast enough, and now he’s left me.
W daret en asmaa fi kalam mesh maaqoul ykoun aanniAnd it led to me hearing things that can’t possibly be about me.
Yaretni lqalbi ansatI wish I had just listened to my own heart.
W f nefsi abattal anqadI just want to stop criticizing myself.
W koll marra bahawel akhlaaAnd every time I try to pull myself away,
Yerjaa fel wajaa yorajjaahe comes back, bringing all the pain with him.
W fil akher yeqoulli beddalaaAnd in the end, he tells me I’m just being dramatic.
La’ ana nefsi adallaaNo, I just want to be treated with care for once.
“Choukran aala koll haja”“Thank you for everything.”
