Makrehtosh Lyrics Translation (from “Yaah”)
Tamer Ashour says he feels like a stranger to his former love. Aleem writes that the two say a polite hello, not hate.
Kan Ma Bayna Ayam Wa HayahThere were days and a life between us,
‘Umr Hulw Ana ‘Ishtuh Ma’aha sweet life I lived with him.
F Al Tabi’i Ashuwfah AsallimSo it’s natural, when I see him, to say hello,
‘Adi Ya’ni Salam Lillahjust a polite greeting, that’s all.

Ana MakrehtoshI don’t hate him,
Wa La Haقدر Aqul Ana Ma Bahebboshand I can’t say I don’t love him.
Wa La Min GhaltanIt’s not about who was wrong,
Wa La Min Khasranor who lost out,
Wa La Min Illi Gamayluh Ma Yet’addoshor whose good deeds can’t be counted.
Ana MakrehtoshI don’t hate him,
Bas Bahess In Ana Ma’rafhoshbut I feel like I don’t know him anymore.
Rahat LayalihThose nights are gone,
Wal Ihsas Bihand so is the feeling I had for him.
‘Adi Zayy Itnein Ghurb Wa MatqabloshIt’s just like two strangers who’ve never even met.
Mahma Yahsal Mish Ha’adihWhatever happens, I won’t be his enemy,
Wa La Hatwsal Ashmat Fihand it’ll never reach the point of me gloating over him.
Bas Law Yegma’na MakanBut if we ever end up in the same place,
Mish Lidareget Anni AnadihI wouldn’t go so far as to call out to him.
