Ensa ensa ensaForget, forget, forget.
Ensa ensa hali maakForget, forget what my life is like with you.
Hawelt ashoufI tried to see,
Gher el oyoubsomething other than the flaws.
Bas el ezaz telaa maksourBut the glass turned out to be broken.
W enta ananyAnd you’re selfish.
W ana mesh aayza had tanyAnd I don’t want anyone else.
Mesh aayza argaaI don’t want to go back.
Fe ay ararNot on any decision.
Mesh adra atghayarI can’t change.
W ana fe west ennarAnd I’m in the middle of a fire.
Enta ananyYou’re selfish.
W mesh aayez tesmaa had tanyAnd you don’t want to hear anyone else.
W el hob sebnah waranaAnd we left love behind us.
Ana mesh hastanna fe rehanakI’m not going to wait on your bet.
Mesh kol marra atlaa khasranaI can’t be the one losing every time.
Khallina beid ana w entaLet’s stay far apart, you and I.
Ehna beid nensa el barawizWhen we’re apart, we can forget the picture frames.
Sourty mabetfare’neeshMy own image never leaves me.
Meen yewasiny gowa el wehdaWho will comfort me in this loneliness?
Eddamaa fe ainy yama khabbethaSo many times, I’ve hidden the tears in my eyes.
Toht felly fatetI got lost in the past.
W aadet lel ayamAnd I’m counting the days.
Mesh bartahI’m not at ease.
Mabaarefsh anamI can’t sleep.
Fedelt ahawel w mahassetooshI kept trying, but you never felt it.
W addet mashaer w margeooshI gave my feelings, and they weren’t returned.
Ensa ensa ensaForget, forget, forget.
Hali maakMy life with you.
Hawelt ashouf ghammet oyounyI tried to see, even closing my eyes to it.
Asl ana batlaa dayman mazloumaBecause I always end up being the one who’s wronged.
Lessa anany w ana mesh aayza ab’a had tanyStill selfish, and I don’t want to be anyone else.
Mesh aayez tergaa fe ay ararYou don’t want to go back on any decision.
Maadesh aleik kol eddamarAll this destruction meant nothing to you.
Meen fina el ananyWho of us is the selfish one?
Omr ma hemmak had tanyYou’ve never cared about anyone else.
W el hob sebnah waranaAnd we left love behind us.
