Wa7di ga3ed nfare3, 3endi mouda saketI’m sitting here alone and struggling; I’ve been silent for a long time now.
Ye7sabouni miyet w ana 7ayThey think I’m dead, but I’m actually alive.
Loin de ce monde, nhar nrou7 ma nerdja3chFar from this world; the day I leave, I’m never coming back.
Goulhoum miyet mechou 7ayTell them he’s dead, not alive.

W yama bkit, el bara7 chkoun biya 7essI’ve cried so much, but who even felt for me yesterday?
Jamais chkit, 7eta téléphone b kechI’ve never complained, not even through a single phone call.
W haka khir la ki rou7ti, ki nerba7 bsa7tiIt’s better this way, whether you left or I’ve regained my peace.

Fi gelbi 3ellaThere’s a deep ache in my heart.
3omri ma nechki, el chekwa l’ghir allah mdallaI’ll never complain; complaining to anyone but God is a disgrace.
Saket netkallaI’m silent, yet I’m speaking.
Melli ritou menhoum ya ma t3alemt n9oul laFrom what I’ve seen of them, mother, I’ve learned to say no.
Ysebou f el mellaThey insult their own community and faith.
Nsaw li b yediya kount nwakelhoum ghellaThey forgot that I used to feed them the fruits of my labor with my own hands.
