L’Bayda Mon Amour
Pause • From “112”
L’Bayda Mon Amour Lyrics Translation Pause | 112
Pause tells a story soaked in drug metaphors and broken promises. When he sings ‘Your love’s left me guarded, without mercy’, you feel the weight of craving – burning tires, rusted watch hands, and thousand-and-one-night vigils. Those concrete details show how addiction eats relationships from the inside.
Awwal Kelma Geltha Fel Micro SelbatThe first word I spoke into the mic was stolen.
Men Wejhi Da7ka Ta 7lami Gher9atThe smile left my face until my dreams drowned.
Ya L’bayda Mon Amour Chemsi GhrbatOh ‘L’bayda’ (‘white drug’), my love, my sun’s set.

Ghi Choufa F Lounk Taddawi L’hbalJust a look at your color cures the madness.
Foug 3inek 7ajeb 9ous W Chfar NbalAbove your eye, an arched brow and lashes like arrows.

L’bebe Li 7dentih B Sninat 7libThe baby you held with milk teeth,
Ra Ta7o Droso Lyoum La Sa7a La JibHis teeth’ve fallen out today, no health, no money.
9asaman B Sem Li F 3ro9i W M7aynhaI swear by the poison in my veins and its agony.
Ma Khrjat Men Femha Ta Kdba BaynaNot a single obvious lie came out of her mouth.
S7abni Zin Rmouch Dazcha Ra SaynaI thought the beauty of lashes was a shield, but it was a trap.
