The lyrics mirror the weariness of unfulfilled dreams and silent fears.
Eddunya ma betew’afsh aala hadThe world doesn’t stop for anyone.
Hatnadi w mesh hatasmaa raddYou’ll call out and you won’t hear an answer.
W ennas wala fakreenAnd people don’t even remember.
Ennas wala shaghleen balhomPeople don’t even care.
Wala shayfeen halhomNor do they see their own condition.
Wala sameenNor do they hear.
Kollena aarfeen en el helweenWe all know that the beautiful ones,
Homma elli beyakhdo awwel doorare the ones who get the first turn.
Kollena fakreen ennena aaysheenWe all think we’re living,

Da fe yoom malakt eddunyaFor one day, I owned the world,
Leh nahari malhoosh azanso why does my day have no meaning?
