Sayeb Lyrics English Translation by Db Gad
DB Gad details a past love filled with deceit and one-sided effort. The narrator gave everything, carrying their partner’s burdens, only to be betrayed. Now, he offers a final, definitive ‘goodbye,’ declaring ‘I am leaving the one who left me’ (Sayeb elli sabni) to mark the point of no return.
Semaat nas bet’oulI heard people talking,
Kalam kan kolloh kedbspreading words that were nothing but lies,
Aanni w aannakabout you and me,
Hadaf el ‘azaz bel toubthrowing stones at glass just to shatter us.
Malouch lazoumThere was absolutely no need for it.
Mana kunt wa’ef gambakI was always standing right by your side,
Bas enti elli ekhtarti el horoubbut you were the one who chose to run away.
Albi dafantI have buried my heart entirely.
Ba’eti kasra nafsiYou shattered my spirit completely.
Kan beinena kteer horoubWe fought so many battles between us,
Yama enhazamtand I was defeated time and time again,
Delwa’ti ana hazamtakbut now I have finally conquered you.
De ana elli kan kol hammi enni basa’takI was the one who only cared about making you happy,
W cheltak fou’ demaghicarrying the weight of your world on my shoulders,
Aachan hammek ma tchelishjust so you wouldn’t have to bear your own burdens.
Habeit maaki kteer aghaniI loved singing so many songs with you.
Bas delwa’ti mesh ayzakBut right now, I don’t want you.
La ma tghannilishNo, don’t sing to me anymore.
Ya dunya mana neseit elli nassaniOh life, I have forgotten those who forgot me,
W samaht elli azaniand I have forgiven those who caused me pain.
Ma kefaya ba’a ayiz aaishIsn’t it enough? I just want to live.
Fa w hayet ammak erhaminiSo, for the love of everything, have some mercy on me.
Mesh aachanak de aachaniThis isn’t for your sake, it’s for my own peace.
Men delwa’ti anaFrom this moment on, I am…
Sayeb elli sabniI am leaving the one who left me.
Sayebeh w mashiI am letting go and walking away,
W mesh ragaa men taniand I won’t ever look back.
Sayeb elli baaniI am leaving the one who sold me out,
W law el sama tetarba’even if the sky falls down on us,
Mesh ragaa taniI’m not coming back again.
AnaI am…
Sayeb elli sabniI am leaving the one who left me.
Sayebeh w mashiI am letting go and walking away,
W mesh ragaa men taniand I won’t ever look back.
Sayeb elli baaniI am leaving the one who sold me out,
W law wecheshniand even if I miss you,
Mesh ragaa taniI’m not coming back again.
Mesh mohemmIt doesn’t matter anymore.
Hagat kteer bokra nensahaThere are so many things we will forget by tomorrow.
Kol el gerah maa el wa’t betlemEvery single wound heals with time,
W bekol bishla hobb hentabahaand we will look back at this love with a cold stare.
De hkayetna hkayeOur story is truly something else,
Tetchaf fee filmlike a tragedy you’d watch in a movie.
Fal ayzak tkalleminiSo, I don’t want you to call me,
Wal be ay kheir wal beshar teftakriniand don’t remember me in good times or bad.
Tare’ek akhdar kammelihYour path is clear, so keep walking it alone.
Shokran ala el hamm men el wagaa allamtiniThank you for the heavy burden; you taught me through the pain.
De ana elli kan kol hammi enni basa’tak w cheltak fou’ demaghiI was the one who only cared about making you happy, carrying the weight of your world on my shoulders,
Aachan hammek ma tchelishjust so you wouldn’t have to bear your own burdens.
