LGANA Lyrics English Translation by Anbar
The lyrics describe a longing for simpler times and the pain of societal judgment. Anbar sings, ‘If her smile could be bought, I’d pawn my very health,’ showing the depth of his love for his mother. The song contrasts past joy with present struggles, using ‘rai’ music as a symbol of hope and resistance.
مبقاش والو كيجيلي على الگانةNothing brings me joy or fits my mood anymore.
بغيت غا يما تبقى لي فارحانةI just want my mother to stay happy for me.
العمر إجري إيامي زربانةTime’s slipping away and my days are rushing by.
عي صبري يا يما نصوڢيو الحالة2Just be patient, Mother, we’ll turn this situation around.
هارايي يااااهOh, my ‘rai’ style music…
كي تضحك ميمتي انا ننسى غبينتي ويااااهWhen my mother smiles, I forget all my misery.
يا الراي ها الراااايOh, the ‘rai’, it’s the ‘rai’ music…
لوكان ضحكتها تنباع انا نرهن صحتي ويااااااااهIf her smile could be bought, I’d pawn my very health.
واه يا دنيا واهOh, this world, oh…
كي كنا وكي وليناHow we used to be and what we’ve turned into.
خايتي عليك ا ليامWoe to these days and how they’ve changed.
وين ديك لوقات الزينةWhere have those beautiful times gone?
بالللمة كنا نفرحو والضحكة بين عينينناWe used to rejoice in our gatherings, with laughter in our eyes.
وين يا دنيا وينWhere, oh world, where?
وين راكي غاذا بيناWhere are you leading us now?
قالو عليا للي ما فيا ش اناThey said things about me that aren’t even true.
في حلقهم واحل ليهم غير اناI’m the one who’s stuck like a thorn in their throats.
غير قيلونا للي فينا كافييناJust leave us alone; we’ve got enough on our plates.
شلا ضرابي غي ربي حاميناMany blows were dealt, but God’s the one protecting us.
قالو عليا للي ما فيا ش اناThey spoke about things I don’t even have in me.
في حلقهم واحل ليهم غير اناI’m just a constant irritation in their throats.
غير قيلونا للي فينا كافييناJust let us be; we’ve dealt with enough already.
شلا ضرابي غي ربي حاميناSo many struggles, yet only God keeps us safe.
هارايي يااااااااOh, my ‘rai’…
عديان قلبي وين ما نروح نصيبهم ااااايااااThe enemies of my heart follow me wherever I go.
هارايي يااااااااOh, my ‘rai’ style…
يا غير حسدو وهضرو ربي وكيلكم هاااYou only envied and talked; God’s the witness to your actions.
واه يا دنيا واهOh, this world, oh…
كي كنا وكي وليناHow we used to be and what we’ve turned into.
خايتي عليك ا ليامWoe to these days and how they’ve changed.
وين ديك لوقات الزينةWhere have those beautiful times gone?
بالللمة كنا نفرحو والضحكة بين عينينناWe used to rejoice in our gatherings, with laughter in our eyes.
