Khesert Nafsy Lyrics English Translation by زاد

The poet describes a journey of internal conflict and emotional pain. ‘I lost myself just so I could love,’ she sings, a line that speaks to the sacrifices made in the name of love. The lyrics mention a dark room that feels like a prison, emphasizing the struggle to break free from mental burdens.

Kount fi hali, dmaghi mesh saybaniI was minding my own business, but my thoughts won’t let me be.
Lessa fi makani w ennes di qoddamiI’m still in my place, while these people are right in front of me.
Aaqli mashghoul mesh hatzourouhMy mind is occupied, so you won’t be visiting it.
Qalbi mawjoua min el homoumMy heart is aching from all these worries.
Mesh aayza arouh aashan hatouhI don’t want to leave because I know I’ll get lost.
Tariq najat w mesh bashoufouThere’s a path to safety, but I just can’t see it.
Khesert nafsi aashan ahebI lost myself just so I could love.
Aaycha sawad w el owda sejnI’m living in darkness, and this room feels like a prison.
Mashya fi tariqi w shayla hemlI’m walking my path while carrying a heavy burden.
Mesh aarefa ashouf, lazem ashebI don’t know how to see, so I have to keep struggling.
Sibni arouh waya el li rahouLet me go with those who’ve already left.
Aaddet snin badawi f jrahYears have passed while I’ve been nursing these wounds.
Hamchi w asib kol el li fatI’ll walk away and leave everything from the past behind.
Mesh aarefa ansa el zekrayatI just don’t know how to forget the memories.
Khesert nafsi aashan ahebI lost myself just so I could love.
Aaycha sawad w el owda sejnI’m living in darkness, and this room feels like a prison.
Mashya fi tariqi w shayla hemlI’m walking my path while carrying a heavy burden.
Mesh aarefa ashouf, lazem ashebI don’t know how to see, so I have to keep struggling.
Kount fi hali, dmaghi mesh saybaniI was just in my own world, but my mind won’t give me any peace.
Lessa fi makaniI’m still stuck in the same spot.
Khesert nafsi aashan ahebI lost myself just so I could love.
