VILLAIN’s CAPTAIN BLACK Arabic Lyrics English Meaning
Afroto, the songwriter, crafts lyrics that trace a daily fight against gloom. Afroto shares a line that reads, ‘I fight myself daily, blowing my gloom into a Captain Black.’ The words paint a picture of a mind stuck in maze, yet still moving forward.
ساعات بقول قدامى وقت ساعات بقول الوقت فاتSometimes I say I have time, and other times I say it’s too late.
بجاهد نفسي كل يوم بنفخ كابتي ف Captain BlackI fight with myself every day, blowing my depression into a Captain Black.
عليت من شأني و شأن عيلتي لما فهمت الدنيا مقاماتI elevated my status and my family’s when I understood that life has ‘levels’.
نضجت فكرياً كتير بس الطفل اللى جوايا ماتI’ve matured a lot intellectually, but the child inside of me has died.
قلبي اتقطع قلبي اتقطعMy heart is torn, my heart is torn.
جسمى مكسر عقلى مصدعMy body is broken, and my mind is aching.
عيني التالته اللى بتتوقعMy third eye is the one that foresees.
انا شايف كل حاجه و بقطع اهI see everything and I’m cutting ties, yeah.

و انا عندي ٢٣ سنه بقيت ازميلي مليونيرAnd by the time I was 23, my ‘bro’, I became a millionaire.
ساعات بقول قدامى وقت ساعات بقول الوقت فاتSometimes I tell myself there’s time, other times I say it has passed.
