3lash علاش Lyrics English Translation by Bessan Ismail | Fouad Jned
Amjad Jomaa describes a life drained by betrayal, where ‘poison flows through to end my life, little by little’. The musician uses vivid imagery of lost paths and evaporating bonds to convey the depth of despair. Bessan Ismail’s voice adds a raw, emotional layer to the story.
La naai hali aalli jraliI’m mourning myself for everything that’s happened,
Taasof feyi riyah el weylas the winds of misery blow right through me,
Mkhawi njoum el leylleaving me to befriend the stars of the night.
Tahou droubi shamsi ghoroubiMy paths are lost and my sun is setting,
Yestaff el hozn beddourwhile sorrow lines up to take its turn,
Yetlaa ha ennafas bezzourand every breath is forced out in pain.
W alash trouh tkhalliniWhy did you go and leave me behind,
Bedal eddam elli finiwhen instead of the blood in my veins,
Yejri semm w yenhinipoison flows through to end my life,
Shway shwaylittle by little?
W alash trouh w blayaAnd why do you go without me,
Tensa tri’i w hwayaforgetting my path and my love?
Kif tetbaddal ennwayaHow easily intentions change,
Eddam yisir mayand our deep bonds evaporate like water.
Yama sanadt-hon ya ana w heya ana wahdi b’eitOh, how much I supported them, yet here I am left completely alone.
Akhdouk lahm w azem lezzyabe rmyoukThey stripped your flesh and bone, throwing you straight to the wolves.
Yama dowwet-lhon darb w bel atm wahdi ametI lit up their path so many times, only to be abandoned in the dark.
Loula nafisan jouharak ya Jned ma baaoukIf your inner worth wasn’t so precious, Jned, they wouldn’t have sold you out.
Yama ya saheb hazzart ma-lhon amanOh friend, I warned you time and again that they couldn’t be trusted,
Ya Joud yjafouk bel layali w dohahomand Joud, they’ll abandon you through the nights and the mornings.
Yama rahant aleyhon w khasart errehanI bet on them so many times, and I lost everything on that bet,
Laken asalet maadanak Bessan teswahombut your authentic core, Bessan, is worth far more than them all.
Raghm anni ibn elyom zaalan aalli rahEven though I live for today, I’m devastated over what’s gone.
Mahroume aini ennoum kelli jrahMy eyes are robbed of sleep, and I’m nothing but wounds.
Kounou el ain bel ainLet it be an eye for an eye,
W hayat dow el ainand I swear by the light of my eyes,
Radd essaa saaein hatta artahI’ll return the strike twice over just to find my peace.
W alash trouh tkhalliniWhy did you go and leave me behind,
Bedal eddam elli finiwhen instead of the blood in my veins,
Yejri semm w yenhinipoison flows through to end my life,
Shway shwaylittle by little?
W alash trouh w blayaAnd why do you go without me,
Tensa tri’i w hwayaforgetting my path and my love?
Kif tetbaddal ennwayaHow easily intentions change,
Eddam yisir mayand our deep bonds evaporate like water.
