Khalas Lyrics English Translation by Fathalla
Mohamed Ashraf Fathalla describes a mind like a dark street, frozen and searching for clarity. He writes, ‘Where have my colors gone?’ This line stands out, symbolizing lost creativity and connection. The tune mirrors this sentiment with a melancholic yet gripping melody that pulls you into its world of solitude.
Bektim anfasiI’m holding my breath,
Mesh aaref aktib kalamiunable to write down my words.
Waraya ashghal fa barken w adariI have things to do, so I set them aside and hide,
Mestanni el gedid ya’a’ eddamiwaiting for something new to fall right in front of me.
Mesh talaa men beiti gher bo’s aghani w torabI won’t leave my house, there’s nothing but misery, songs, and dust.
Demaghi sharea dolma koll ma afakkar etsababtMy mind is a dark street; every time I try to think, I’m frozen.
Ala’i holoul ezay w esselkan mesh beyeslekHow can I find solutions when the clear path is blocked?
Mesh ayez addi eshara heltazem bel hara w khalasI don’t want to cross any boundaries, I’ll just stick to this alley and be done.
Tab fen heya alwaniSo where have my colors gone?
Makontesh haktib anha aghaniI wouldn’t have written songs about them,
Law kan fi nas fahmaniif there were people who truly understood me,
Bas el aalam dah ma’foulbut this whole world is closed off.
Ma howa koll el eddamiAfter all, everything right in front of me
Hagat mesh far’aliare things that don’t matter to me at all.
Sibouni asrah fi haliJust leave me alone to drift in my own mind,
Howa el aalam dah magnounis this world going crazy?
Fa ana hadeikou koll el omri makhlih andi hatta essaba’oukou w saalo aleyh awaht lohom belsani w khalasSo I’ll give you my entire life, keeping it close until you point and ask about it; I’ve called out to them with my voice and that’s it.
Ana nesetI have completely forgotten
Enwani el ana makontesh aaref gheromy address, the only one I ever knew,
W baad koll fira’especially after every separation.
Tab fen heya alwaniSo where have my colors gone?
Law bas tergaali taniIf only they would come back to me again.
Ma entou aarfin makaniYou all already know where I am,
Esaalo men gher ma a’oulso just ask without making me say a word.
Ahrab men el aza fenWhere can I escape from all this pain?
Daa menni albi el adimMy old heart has been lost from me.
Mesh talaa men beiti gher lamma t’oulouli khalasI’m not leaving my house until you tell me it’s finally over.
Tab fen heya alwaniSo where have my colors gone?
Makontesh haktib anha aghaniI wouldn’t have written songs about them,
Law kan fi nas fahmaniif there were people who truly understood me,
Bas el aalam dah ma’foulbut this whole world is closed off.
W ana ebtadet a’ouz el ayyam te’ouzni fa matbaadoush anniAnd I’ve started wanting the days to want me too, so please don’t pull away from me.
The ‘Khalas’ lyrics offer a heartfelt reflection on feeling disconnected from the world. Fathalla’s voice carries the weight of a heart searching for meaning in a closed-off reality.
