Le’en elli amalto ma’akBecause everything I did for you,
Mahadesh ye’malo lehadno one would ever do for another.
Fa ana el ghaltan w astahalSo I’m the one at fault and I deserve this,
Mabatre’sh dah begaddI’m not even joking about it.
Ana elli el hob ghammaniI’m the one whose eyes were blinded by love,
W nezzelni w baddelniit brought me low and changed who I am.
Bamassel dor wahed taniI’m playing the role of someone else,
Gabal w be’edak et-hadda strong mountain that was dismantled by your hands.
Laken mesh zanbak elli ana fihBut the state I’m in isn’t your fault,
Wala domou’i elli a el khaddnor are these tears on my cheeks.
Ashan el eib ala elli addaThe blame lies with the one who let it pass,
W mesh zanb elli yama khadnot with the one who took so much.
El eib ala elli ethathalak fel geibThe shame is on the one who let himself be ‘pocketed’ by you,
W yama ‘alolo e’al eibeven though many warned him it was a disgrace.
Kbeer wel hob ‘allelniI was significant, but love made me small.
El eiba ala elli farratou fel heibaThe shame is on those who surrendered their dignity,
Yadi el hasra w yadi el kheibaoh, the heartbreak and the bitter disappointment.
Azeez wel hob zallelniI was full of pride, but love humiliated me.
