SECRET Lyrics English Translation by 4Lfa
The lyrics mention ‘I’ve held you in my eye like a tear that never falls,’ a line that captures the silent ache of unexpressed feelings. 4LFA uses this imagery to show how love can be both a comfort and a burden. The wordsmith describes a love that remains hidden, like a secret whispered only to the night.
ايامات خريف عينيكThe autumn days in your eyes.
كيما ليالي الصيف تبسيمتكYour smile is like a summer night.
قدامي كي تحكي و تفدلكWhen you’re in front of me, talking and joking around,
ولا كي تتغشش و تخرج من سيمتكOr when you get angry and lose your temper.
ديما ضايع في تفاصيلكI’m always lost in your details.
نتفرهد اذا جبدو سيرتكI feel a sense of ease whenever your name comes up.
من اول ما ريتكFrom the very first moment I saw you,
سافرتي في قلبي و طوالت مسيرتكYou’ve journeyed into my heart, and it’s been a long path.
نتكيف في سواقر و نبوخI’m smoking cigarettes, lost in the haze,
نتفرج في زينك يدوخWatching your beauty that makes my head spin.
نخمم في بلاصتك لي خذيتها في قلبيI’m thinking about the place you’ve taken in my heart,
ما فيبالكش بها لتواA place you still don’t even know exists.
زعمة خوف ما نتصوروشMaybe it’s a fear I can’t quite imagine.
لاهو ضعف ولا هو قوةIt’s not a weakness, but it’s not a strength either.
نحب نولي في عيناها ادمI want to become Adam in her eyes,
هي تولي في عينيا حواSo she can become Eve in mine.
Maybe الوحش ولا الاذيةMaybe it’s the loneliness or the pain,
و زمان يتفه القضيةAnd how time can make it all seem trivial.
نخاف الوجيعة ترجع بياI’m afraid the ache will return to me,
توا نرجع نغني عالليلة هذياSo for now, I’ll go back to singing about this night.
خلي هكا كا كيما هيJust let things be the way they are.
في مخي تبقى ديما هيIn my head, she’ll always be the one.
و المكتوب هذا مشو بيدينا خاطر لازمو قدرة إلهيةAnd this destiny isn’t in our hands, because it requires a divine power.
حبيتك و عمري ما حكيتI’ve loved you, and I’ve never told you.
خبيتك و عمري ما شكيتI’ve hidden you away, and I’ve never complained.
حطيتك في عيني كالدمعة ما هبطتI’ve held you in my eye like a tear that never falls.
نا كايني عمري ما بكيتIt’s as if I’ve never even cried.
نحكيها لليلI’ll just tell it to the night.
نحكي في سري لليلI’ll whisper my secret to the night.
حبيتك و عمري ما حكيتI loved you, but I never said a word.
خبيتك و عمري ما شكيتI kept you secret, and I never let it show.
حطيتك في عيني كالدمعة ما هبطتI held you in my eye like a tear that wouldn’t drop.
نا كايني عمري ما بكيتIt’s like I’ve never cried in my life.
نحكيها لليلI just confess it to the night.
نحكي في سري لليلI whisper my secrets in the dark.
جيت في وقت وين المحبة قيمةYou appeared at a time when love still had value.
أما كبرت في وقت الكراهيةBut I grew up in an age of hatred.
شهوات تحكم علاقات الأحاسيس ماهيش فرضيةLust governs relationships, and feelings aren’t even a possibility.
كي وسوف كامل الأوصاف حطلي نسمع نغمة طربيةLike ‘Wassouf’, perfect in every way, let me hear a classic ‘tarab’ melody.
افكاري ما ورائية، في قصيدة عربيةMy thoughts are metaphysical, like an Arabic poem.
و هذا زمان اللي تبعث DMAnd this is the generation where you just send a DM,
و غدوة شي ما فما رحلة بلاش أحلامAnd tomorrow there’s nothing, a journey without any dreams.
هي تحب اللي يصرف و هو يحب اللي تعبيلو فراغات أوهامShe loves the one who spends, and he loves the one who fills his empty illusions.
تاخذ ناخذ بأنقص تضحيات ماشية كان مع لي يحبو السطحياتGiving and taking with minimal sacrifice only works for those who love superficiality.
و اللي يفكر حتى شوية ماتAnd anyone who even thinks a little is already dead.
لغة عمي هذه عندي مش حياةThis kind of language, man, this isn’t a life for me.
I Don’t KnowI don’t know.
زعمة نجازف ولا توا NoShould I take the risk, or is it a ‘no’ for now?
عمر تعدى و نا نخسر و نفارقA lifetime has gone by with me losing and parting from others.
And I’m really just trynna find the loveAnd I’m really just trying to find love.
نستحفظ علقلبيI have to protect my heart.
That’s enoughThat’s enough.
خاطر درس تعلمتو بالكفBecause that’s a lesson I learned the hard way.
نستحفظ عالطاقة و اللي بقالي منهاI’m preserving my energy and whatever is left of it.
يزي ما ضميري ماللمستقبل خافMy conscience is done being afraid of the future.
حبيتك و عمري ما حكيتI’ve always loved you, but I’ve never spoken.
خبيتك و عمري ما شكيتI’ve kept you hidden, and I’ve never shown my pain.
حطيتك في عيني كالدمعة ما هبطتI’ve placed you in my eye like a tear that won’t descend.
نا كايني عمري ما بكيتIt feels as if I’ve never cried at all.
نحكيها لليلI’ll confess it to the night.
نحكي في سري لليلI’ll tell my secret to the night.
حبيتك و عمري ما حكيتI loved you, and I never said it.
خبيتك و عمري ما شكيتI hid you away and I never complained.
حطيتك في عيني كالدمعة ما هبطتI kept you in my eye like a tear that never fell.
نا كايني عمري ما بكيتIt’s as if I’ve never cried.
نحكيها لليلWe’ll tell it to the night.
نحكي في سري لليلWe’ll tell our secret to the night.
