Maasat Meaning & Lyrics (Maha Ftouni)
The lyrics describe a love that leaves scars, as Maha asks, ‘Why do I cry these tears while you don’t feel a thing?’ The words highlight the struggle of moving on when the pain of loss keeps resurfacing. Each line speaks of wounds that reopen with every memory.
Albi ana mawgouaa w amma el leil yeegy manamshMy heart’s aching, and when the night falls, I can’t sleep.
Leih ana abky demouaa w enta elli matet’alemshWhy do I cry these tears while you don’t feel a thing?
Khallitny bamout mesh aarfa amalt ana eihYou’ve left me dying, not knowing what I’ve even done.
Yaany enta terouh w ana wagay dah mabeybardshSo you walk away while my ache never cools down,
Ana kolly gerouh w enta mafish feek wala khadshI’m covered in wounds, yet you don’t even have a scratch.
Yaah aal gabarout yaah aal elli bahess ana beehOh, what ‘ruthless indifference’, oh, what I’m feeling inside.
