Ktir Bkhaf Lyrics Translation – Mokhtalifa Soundtrack
The song tells the story of fear and mistrust after heartbreak. The narrator says, ‘I’m so afraid to start all over again, with a new love story and a new person.’ The lyrics describe how past pain shapes the way they see everyone as liars, haunted by the memory of a former lover.
Allah yesaadak w aanni yebaadakMay God bless you and keep you far away from me.
Hobbak aallamni darsYour love taught me a hard lesson.
Wadaatak ana w men baadak anaI said my goodbyes to you, and since then,
Ma aadet wseqet b shakhsI haven’t been able to trust anyone.
Ktir bkhaf erjaa eidI’m so afraid to start all over again,
Esset hob w shakhs jdidwith a new love story and a new person.
Yetlaa metlak yetlaali metlakAfraid he’ll turn out like you, that I’ll get someone like you.
