Bethoon Meaning & Lyrics (Al Shami)
AL SHAMI describes the pain of betrayal with lines like, ‘The ones closest to my heart are the very ones who sold me out.’ The poet uses vivid metaphors, such as ‘hearts becoming worthless,’ to express the depth of his sorrow. The artist’s voice carries a mix of anger and heartbreak.
Men gher elmi basmak eini nadat aleikWithout me even realizing it, my eyes called out your name,
W el aza sar aadi bas bali dhal hawaleykand the pain became normal, yet my mind stayed wrapped around you.
Yaani heik sar aadi taamelni gharibHas it really become so easy to treat me like a stranger?
Nazratak kelleha ‘aswe w somtak moribYour looks are full of cruelty, and your silence is terrifying.
Aadi bashtaq law gheri fikIt’s fine, I’ll still miss you even if someone else is on your mind,
Aadi omro el ghadar ma yifidit’s fine, for betrayal has never brought anyone any good.
AadiIt’s fine,
Aadi haaj taalla’ni fikit’s fine, just stop making me so attached to you,
Aadi en sha allah gheri yardhikit’s fine, and I hope someone else can finally satisfy you.
Aal dam aal dam sawa w ha’ soti elli dawaBy the blood we shared, and the echoing truth of my voice,
Ma bi’a wala khoun w el echra ma tehounI won’t sell out or betray you, for our bond isn’t something I take lightly.
Law ala azay nawaEven if he intended to cause me pain,
Jar ezzaman ya einitime has been so cruel to me.
Baouni elli menni w finiThe ones closest to my heart are the very ones who sold me out,
Sehi el wafa elli fihinthe loyalty they once had completely slipped away,
Racho el atm yerwiniand they offered me only darkness to quench my thirst.
W tehoun ya ‘loub law khan raml el ardhHearts become worthless when even the earth’s sand betrays us,
W trouh ndoub law rejaouli refa’ eddarband we’d simply fade away, even if my old companions returned to my path.
Ah wallah w ala eyouna resinaAh, I swear to God, we anchored our hopes in her eyes,
W ouyoubak saketna rdhinawe stayed quiet and accepted all of your flaws.
W lamma el araj rafa’ droubiBut when hardship became the only companion on my paths,
‘amat hroufak aleinayour words completely turned against us.
