حد سكه Lyrics English Translation by Tarek El Sheikh | Wissam Hilal
The poet Ibrahim Mohamed crafts vivid lines like, ‘He’s like a blind man who was given a blessing, but left it and is now filled with regret.’ This line captures the pain of missed opportunities and the finality of closure. Hilal’s delivery makes the heartbreak resonate even more.
Ya leil ya leily ya leily ya ya leilOh, night, oh my night, oh my night, oh, oh night.
Shoftou elly kan ghalbanDid you see the one who was down on their luck,
W maloush fe eddonia hadand had no one in the world?
W gharra’tou b gamayli w ma’oltelloush ya’eddI showered him with favors and didn’t ask him to count them.
W albi a’melto beitoI made my heart his home,
W bakhkhartou w ra’eitouI cherished him and looked after him.
W gowa el ein daritoI kept him safe within my sight,
W kheft aleih b gadand I genuinely worried about him.
Badal ma fi albi dawaInstead of being the cure for my heart,
Gara’hni gerouh na’awahe gave me carefully chosen wounds.
W dakhkhalni b ghabawaAnd foolishly led me,
Fi a’rab harra saddinto the nearest dead-end street.
Yalla leff tani w ergaa enta gay leihGo on, turn around and go back, why are you here?
Da enta had sekka yekhsar elly yeshterihYou’re just a fraud; anyone who trusts you is bound to lose.
A’ama gatlo ne’ma sabha w ennadam malihHe’s like a blind man who was given a blessing, but left it and is now filled with regret.
Bass mehma tendam el hewar ma’foul aleihBut no matter how much you regret it, that chapter is closed.
Roht shemal roht yeminYou went left, you went right,
Rage’a tetmasken ala minso who are you coming back to, playing the victim?
Mehma hata’mel fiha hazinNo matter how much you try to act sad,
Ana mesh harga’lak taniI’m not coming back to you again.
Ha’i hayerga’ andi ya’inWhat’s mine will return, I’m sure of it.
Eddonia tedor w el ein bel einThe world turns, and it’s an eye for an eye.
Bet’oulili erga’li b kol haninYou tell me to come back with all this affection,
Da enta albak ananibut your heart is selfish.
Ba’di hab alf albAfter me, he loved a thousand hearts,
Bas kollo ba’d fatrabut after a while, every one of them,
Kan bytla’ mesh tamamwould turn out to be not quite right.
Laff laff a’lo khaffHe wandered around until his mind grew weary.
Men elly shafo masha’ro khafoFrom all he saw, his feelings faded,
Hatta mesh aaref yenamand now he can’t even sleep.
Roht shemal roht yeminYou went left, you went right,
Rage’a tetmasken ala minso who are you coming back to, playing the victim?
Mehma hata’mel fiha hazinNo matter how much you try to act sad,
Ana mesh harga’lak taniI’m not coming back to you again.
