Seqsi liyam w ghder ezzmanAsk the days and the betrayal of time,
Ghder ezzmanthe betrayal of time.
Nar el hijan li chaala fiyaThe fire of separation burns within me,
Fi lmanleft in God’s hands.
Koulch bel borhanEverything is proven with evidence,
Nti katefti laadyan kemmelti aaleyayou sided with the enemies and finished me off.
Nwiti liya el qodban ana mani sajenkYou intended the prison bars for me, but I’m not your jailer.
Lwadaa fi lman makach qaa li yesaaefkFarewell in peace, there’s no one left to tolerate you.
Qeftanek kfen choufi maa elli yhasbekYour dress is a shroud, face the one who will judge you.
Ma jak essoltane ma dak elli nasbekThe king didn’t come for you, the one who tricked you didn’t take you.
Illa ilahiOnly my God remains,
Bihim la oubaliI don’t care about them.

Ki lwahdani ana chkoun bqaliLike a loner, who else do I have left?
Nghis maa ennjoum ellil aaqabi fi smahoum yaalliI dive with the night stars, my punishment rising in their sky.
Teddini ettriq elli ma twelli el abadiyaThe road takes me away, the one that leads to eternity without return.
Qbih w naaref heddi qalbi trih w nti dfentihI’m tough and I know my limits, my heart was pure and you buried it,
