El Waat El Daye3 Lyrics English Translation by Lege-Cy
Mahmoud Osama says, “I’m not drowning, I’m floating” to describe emotional limbo. He asks a former lover not to return during this “wasted time,” emphasizing the need for space.
Kan Lazem Taqra’a Al-Ta’limatYou should’ve read the instructions,
Mash Kol Marra Naruh Hanak Wa NatuhWe can’t keep going there and getting lost every time,
Tariqi Kuluh Malaffat Ana Juwwa Madi Mash Bansah MashghulMy path’s full of turns; I’m stuck in a past I can’t forget, and I’m busy,
Lissa Bat’allim Min Al-lli FatI’m still learning from everything that’s passed.
Wa Al-Kalam Law Mish Hassah Ana Mish Mas’ulAnd if you don’t feel these words, I’m not responsible,
A’tabiri Qalbi Dawa Mat Ana ‘ayish Juwwa DawwamatConsider my heart dead; I’m living inside whirlpools,
‘ala Tul ‘ala Tul Al-lli Jay Mish MadmunAlways, always, what’s coming isn’t guaranteed,
‘umri BifutMy life’s passing by.
Bab MaksurA broken door,
Kan Mafrod Waqti YitulMy time was supposed to last longer,
‘ala Tul ‘ala Tul Al-lli Jay Zay Al-RayihAlways, always, what’s coming is just like what’s gone,
Da Al-lli SayirThat’s what’s happening.
Waqti TarMy time flew away,
‘ala Al-Fadi ‘ala Al-Fadi ‘ala Al-FadiFor nothing, for nothing, for nothing,
Taqriban Enti BitinsyIt seems like you’re forgetting,
Kunt Badawi Al-lli Kan BayizI was trying to fix what was already broken.
Bas Law ‘ayza TimshiBut if you want to leave,
Matgish Fi Al-Waqt Al-Dayi’Don’t come back during the ‘wasted time’,
Matgish Fi Al-Waqt Al-Dayi’Don’t come back during the ‘wasted time’,
Taqriban Enti BitinsyIt seems like you’re forgetting.
Kunt Badawi Al-lli Kan BayizI was trying to fix what was already broken,
Bas Law ‘ayza Timshi Imshi ImshiBut if you want to leave, then go, just go,
Matgish Fi Al-Waqt Al-Dayi’Don’t come back during the ‘wasted time’,
Matgish Fi Al-Waqt Al-Dayi’Don’t come back during the ‘wasted time’.
‘ayzani Matnaffassh Izay Wa Ana ‘ayishHow do you expect me not to breathe while I’m alive,
Izay Wa Ana ‘ayish ‘ala Da Al-HalHow can I live like this,
‘ala Da Al-HalIn this state,
Ana Mish Gharqan Ana ‘ayimI’m not drowning, I’m floating.
Ana Mish Gharqan Ana ‘ayimI’m not drowning, I’m floating,
Fa Sibini MirtahSo leave me in peace,
‘ala Tul ‘ala Tul Ana Baghriq Dayman ‘ala TulAlways, always, I’m constantly sinking,
Bashghal Nafsi Ana Mashghul Wa Hansaki ‘ala TulI keep myself busy; I’m occupied and I’ll forget you for good.
‘ala Tul ‘ala Tul Al-lli Jay Zay Al-RayihAlways, always, what’s coming is just like what’s gone,
Da Al-lli Sayir Waqti Tar ‘ala Al-Fadi ‘ala Al-Fadi ‘ala Al-FadiThat’s what’s happening; my time flew away for nothing, for nothing, for nothing,
Taqriban Enti BitinsyIt seems like you’re forgetting,
Kunt Badawi Al-lli Kan BayizI was trying to fix what was already broken.
Bas Law ‘ayza Timshi Imshi ImshiBut if you want to leave, then go, just go,
Matgish Fi Al-Waqt Al-Dayi’Don’t come back during the ‘wasted time’,
Matgish Fi Al-Waqt Al-Dayi’Don’t come back during the ‘wasted time’,
Taqriban Enti BitinsyIt seems like you’re forgetting.
Kunt Badawi Al-lli Kan BayizI was trying to fix what was already broken,
