EZAY? Lyrics Translation – Shanii

The lyricist counts sleepless days and burned-out cigarettes, asking ‘how?’ in Arabic. The line ‘It’s six in the morning, and you’re on my mind’ repeats like a stubborn alarm. Shanii calls the ex ‘my life,’ then watches her ghost Mario’s brother. The melody keeps the room dark and spinning.

سته الصبح وأنا وانتي بباليIt’s six in the morning, and you’re on my mind.
سته ونص بيبي وأنا مش نايمIt’s six-thirty, baby, and I’m not sleeping.
سبع أيام والنوم مش جايFor seven days, sleep just won’t come.
تسع ارواح روحي مش ويايI’ve got nine lives, but my soul isn’t with me.
مش أول مرة تكوني بلايIt’s not the first time you’ve been my one.
بس أول مرة منا معايBut it’s the first time I haven’t been myself.
فظل مستغرب بسأل whySo I keep wondering, asking why.
بحكيها بالمصري بقول لها إزايI say it in Egyptian, I ask her, how?
AyAy.
سمعت الكلامI heard the talk.
But I didn’t believe itBut I didn’t believe it.
I thought you the one babyI thought you were the one, baby.
You got me speedingYou got me speeding.
Called you حياتيI called you ‘my life’.
You called me حبيبيYou called me ‘my love’.
عرّفتك على اختيI introduced you to my sister.
عرّفتك على رفيقيI introduced you to my friend.
That was my brotherThat was my brother.
Like Mario LuigiLike Mario and Luigi.
But soon as we overBut as soon as we were over,
Y’all went back and did itY’all went back and did it.
I cut it off quicklyI cut it off quickly.
سته الصبح وأنا وانتي بباليIt’s six in the morning, and you’re on my mind.
سته ونص بيبي وأنا مش نايمIt’s six-thirty, baby, and I’m not sleeping.
مش شايفI can’t see.
بس فايقBut I’m wide awake.
مالك متدايقWhy are you so upset?
مانا عارف حاليI already know how I am.
صرت شارب شي بوكس سجایرI’ve now smoked a box of cigarettes.
من الآخر والوسكي بكاسيBottom line, there’s whiskey in my cup.
ومبارح كان عيد ميلادكAnd yesterday was your birthday.
وأنا مارق بالصدفة قبالكAnd I just happened to pass by you.
سته الصبح وأنا وانتي بباليIt’s six in the morning, and you’re on my mind.
سته ونص بيبي وأنا مش نايمIt’s six-thirty, baby, and I’m not sleeping.
سبع أيام والنوم مش جايFor seven days, sleep just won’t come.
تسع ارواح روحي مش ويايI’ve got nine lives, but my soul isn’t with me.
مش أول مرة تكوني بلايIt’s not the first time you’ve been my one.
بس أول مرة منا معايBut it’s the first time I haven’t been myself.
فظل مستغرب بسأل whySo I keep wondering, asking why.
بحكيها بالمصري بقول لهاI say it in Egyptian, I tell her,
بحكيها بالمصري بقول لها إزايI say it in Egyptian, I ask her, how?
ولا ممكن أنسىAnd there’s no way I could forget.
Baby don’t tryBaby, don’t even try.
And I seen him in the streetsAnd I’ve seen him in the streets.
Couldn’t look me in the eyeHe couldn’t look me in the eye.
And you texted my phoneAnd you texted my phone,
But I didn’t replyBut I didn’t reply.
I got 21 questionsI’ve got twenty-one questions.
I just wanna know whyI just wanna know why.
Is it cause you love attentionIs it ’cause you love attention?
ولا بدك هالمصاريOr do you want this money?
You don’t need love babyYou don’t need love, baby.
You just wanna partyYou just wanna party.
That’s why I said forget itThat’s why I said to forget it.
Tell her baby إنسانيI tell her, baby, forget me.
سته الصبح وأنا وانتي بباليIt’s six in the morning, and you’re on my mind.
سته ونص بيبي وأنا مش نايمIt’s six-thirty, baby, and I’m not sleeping.
سبع أيام والنوم مش جايFor seven days, sleep just won’t come.
تسع ارواح روحي مش ويايI’ve got nine lives, but my soul isn’t with me.
مش أول مرة تكوني بلايIt isn’t the first time you’ve been my one.
بس أول مرة منا معايBut it’s the first time I haven’t been myself.
فظل مستغرب بسأل whySo I keep wondering, asking why.
بحكيها بالمصري بقول لها إزايI say it in Egyptian, I ask her, how?
