MOSALSAL Lyrics Translation – 1999 Soundtrack
Montiyago describes a love that feels like a fading memory, singing, ‘We’re trapped in this gray area.’ The poet uses vivid images of pink days and a gray present to show the contrast between past happiness and current sorrow. The artist expresses his longing for reconciliation, even as he admits the relationship might be over.
Hazina ya baby lemma atzakkar malamhek bitwaddiIt’s sad, baby, when I remember your features fading away.
Nehna fi hetta ramadiWe’re trapped in this gray area.
Mestanni w zamen ma baadiI’m waiting, but the time just won’t pass by.
Batzakkar el madiI keep remembering our past,
W el ayam elly kanet bel bambyand those days when everything was painted in pink.
Assi shakli fi wadiNow, it feels like I’m in one world,
W enti fi wadi baeida ya qalbiand you’re in a completely different one, far away, my love.
Bghammed balqaki fi ahlamiI close my eyes and find you in my dreams.
Nefsi aftah w alqaki qoddamiI wish I could open them and find you standing right in front of me.
Ma smaati kalami lihWhy didn’t you listen to my words?
Assi nehna fi mashhad drami babeNow we’re stuck in this dramatic scene, baby,
Bass ma bloumekbut I don’t even blame you.
Shaklou koulou el machakel di finiIt seems like all these problems started with me.
Kent shayel hmoumekI used to carry all your worries,
W akbar hem fi el hmoum di ardikiand my biggest worry of all was just keeping you happy.
Hazin ana bdounekI am so miserable without you.
Qelibi el wahid ma bkhounekYou’re my only love, I’d never betray you.
Taali arjoukiPlease, just come back to me.
Li fatra ma hassi wjoudekI haven’t felt your presence for a while now.
Ma bnamel mosalsalWe’re not just playing a part in a soap opera.
Baby nehna hayatna zay movieBaby, our life feels just like a movie.
Beina khatem w silsilThere’s a ring and a chain binding us together.
Qouli dayra bjiki lemma taouziJust say the word, and I’ll come to you whenever you need me.
Ma aaref law kenti kazzabaI don’t know if you were just lying all along.
Bebki matar fi ayouni sahabaI cry tears like rain, with a dark cloud over my eyes.
Ahla haja fi el dounia kalamhaThe sweetest thing in this whole world is her voice.
Maalish atrabina fi el ghabaForgive me, we grew up surviving in the wild.
Aslan ma naqes dramaHonestly, I don’t need any more drama in my life.
Shouf machaari betedfaa gharamaLook, my emotions are paying a heavy price.
Karma w karamaIt’s all about karma and saving my dignity.
Ma betarham w ennes di lawwamaThere’s no mercy here, and these people are always so quick to judge.
Maf beina dawafaaThere’s no longer any real drive between us.
Kol ma atlaa bjiki baji waqeaEvery time I rise to reach you, I end up crashing down.
Fi lsani madafeaI’ve got cannons firing from my tongue.
Lemma tkallem bsahhi el shawareeaWhenever I speak, I wake up the entire street.
W msirna netlaqaBut destiny says we’ll eventually cross paths again.
Netfi el qelib zay el lavaWe have to cool down this heart that’s burning like lava.
Shaklou el beina nihayaIt seems like whatever we had has finally reached its end.
Khelset khalas assi beqet hikayaIt’s all over now, we’re nothing but a memory.
Hazin ana bdounekI am so miserable without you.
Qelibi el wahid ma bkhounekYou’re my only love, I’d never betray you.
