Balash Teeba Lyrics English Translation by Solema
Malak Adel writes about the hurt caused by misplaced trust, with lines like ‘You’re just hand-picking your own betrayal.’ The poet describes the frustration of dealing with people who swear love but act selfishly. The lyrics are a sharp reminder to choose relationships wisely.
Ma qolna keteer balash teebaWe’ve said it so many times, stop being so naive.
Ma teebtak di elli kol shwaya btawaana fi moseebaThis kindness of yours is exactly what keeps landing us in trouble.
W battal nas baqa ghareebaAnd stop dealing with such sketchy people.
Dah zouqak fi el bashar yeksef masr tmarmat el heibaYour taste in people is a total disgrace, and it’s dragged your dignity through the dirt.
W law doul mostawa habaybak khalas bala hob bala kheibaIf this is the standard of your loved ones, then forget love and this mess.
Ya khod balak baqa w naqqiSo start paying attention and choose carefully.
Ya khod m el ghadr ya mnaqqiYou’re just hand-picking your own betrayal.
W adeek garrabt ahou w shayefHere you are, you’ve seen it for yourself now.
Mahadesh kan louh kheir feenaNo one ever had our best interests at heart.
W law helfou en habbounaEven if they swear that they love us,
Namen meen dah yaklouna?who can we trust? They’d eat us alive!
Mahom kol elli halafoulnaBecause everyone who made those promises to us,
Zaman amalo el bedaa feenawent and did their absolute worst to us before.
Baqoullak eih keda kefayaI’m telling you, that’s enough.
Dah kol elli enta habethom sabab wagaei elli gowwayaEvery person you loved is the reason for this pain inside me.
Kaenn domouei w azayaIt’s as if my tears and my suffering,
Khalas mobaheen w dah el aadiare just fair game now, and that’s become the norm,
Fi kol alaaqa w hekayain every relationship and every story.
W law ayez tamen hadAnd if you want to trust someone,
Atlaa amnoh barayayou’ll just end up making excuses for them.
Ya khod balak baqa w naqqiSo start paying attention and choose carefully.
Ya khod m el ghadr ya mnaqqiYou’re just hand-picking your own betrayal.
W adeek garrabt ahou w shayefHere you are, you’ve seen it for yourself now.
Mahadesh kan louh kheir feenaNo one ever had our best interests at heart.
W law helfou en habbounaEven if they swear that they love us,
