Bathadaki Lyrics Translation Ahmed Kamel | Lessa Hai
Ahmed Kamel dares his ex to say ‘I love you’ while looking directly at him. He asks who could ever take his place in her heart.
Wa’eshti Ma’ah W Qalbak Ganboh Mesh Bi’ishYou’ve lived with him, but your heart beside him doesn’t beat.
Nasiti Takuni Ganboh Bas Ma NasitinishYou forgot to be present with him, but you haven’t forgotten me.
Mashiti Ma’ah W Ihsasik Fadal Fi Al-Dhikrayat MasikYou walked with him, but your feelings are still stuck in memories.
W Law Sa’alik Fi Yawm ‘Anni Ma BitgawibishAnd if he ever asks you about me, you don’t answer.
W Kul Ma Yawm Khayalik Fiyya BiyfakkarAnd every day, your thoughts wander back to me.
Biyban Qalbak Sama W ‘Ayniki BitmattarIt shows in your heart’s sky as your eyes begin to rain.
Kalam Guwwaki BitkhabbihYou’re hiding words deep inside you.
‘Amalti In Inti Bithebbih ‘Ashan Tinsini Bih Di Al-Qissa Mesh AktarYou acted like you love him just to forget me, that’s all this story is.
Ana Bathaddak Tquli Bahibbak W Inti ‘Uyunik Guwwa ‘EnayyaI dare you to say ‘I love you’ while your eyes are locked in mine.
Tqulilha Innik Bithissi Ma’ah Ihsas Ma Thissih Min QabliyyaTo tell him you’re feeling something with him you’ve never felt before me.
Ana Bathaddak Tquli Bahibbak W Inti ‘Uyunik Guwwa ‘EnayyaI dare you to say ‘I love you’ while your eyes are locked in mine.
Tqulilha Innik Bithissi Ma’ah Ihsas Ma Thissih Min QabliyyaTo tell him you’re feeling something with him you’ve never felt before me.
Bahibbak Kilma Minnik Mahma Tit’alhaThat ‘I love you’ from you, no matter how you say it,
Di Farha Ma Azunnaha Law Yawm HatikmalhaIs a joy I don’t think you’ll ever complete with him.
W Mahma Qabilti Ba’di Fi Nas W Law Garrabti 100 IhsasAnd no matter who you meet after me, or if you try a hundred new feelings,
Makani Fi Qalbak Inti Min HayiwslahWho could ever reach the place I have in your heart?
W Mahma Tquli ‘Aysha W Laqya Ganbuh NasibAnd no matter how much you say you’re living your destiny beside him,
Ghariba Inti ‘Anik Huwwa Bardo GharibYou’re a stranger to him, and he’s a stranger to you.
W Bukra Lamma Al-Sinin Hatdur HayitbaddalAnd tomorrow, as the years go by, the roles between you will switch.
Ma Binku Al-Door W Idah Illi Inti Maskaha Masiraha TsibAnd the hand you’re holding, you’re destined to let it go.
Ana Bathaddak Tquli Bahibbak W Inti ‘Uyunik Guwwa ‘EnayyaI dare you to say ‘I love you’ while your eyes are locked in mine.
Tqulilha Innik Bithissi Ma’ah Ihsas Ma Thissih Min QabliyyaTo tell him you’re feeling something with him you’ve never felt before me.
Ana Bathaddak Tquli Bahibbak W Inti ‘Uyunik Guwwa ‘EnayyaI dare you to say ‘I love you’ while your eyes are locked in mine.
Tqulilha Innik Bithissi Ma’ah Ihsas Ma Thissih Min QabliyyaTo tell him you’re feeling something with him you’ve never felt before me.
