سطلانة (من فيلم بعد الشر) Lyrics Translation – Abd El Basset Hamouda | Mahmoud El Lithy
The songwriter describes a plea for relief in the line, ‘Hey doctor, please find me a cure, I’m begging you to write me a prescription.’ This sets the tone for a story about seeking solace amidst chaos. The lyrics use everyday images like coffee and bread to express a longing for joy and escape from life’s pressures.
Ya doctor shouf li tasrifa abous ideek ekteb li rochetaHey doctor, please find me a cure, I’m begging you to write me a prescription.
Ana gwaya hetta nadifa khodha armiha fi ay hettaThere’s still a good part of me left, so just take it and throw it away anywhere.
Nefsi a’taha nefsi a’laha zay ma ba’la’ el gaktetaI want to shed my worries and peel them off, just like I’m taking off a jacket.
W geet abee’ hobb mahadesh nafa’ni afalt ed-dokkanaI tried to offer my love but nobody valued it, so I’ve closed up shop for good.
Ooh satlana satlana lana satlanaOh, I’m just zoned out, completely spaced out now.
Kanaket bon tefawa’ni ma fawa’teshEven a pot of coffee couldn’t wake me up, I’m still drifting.
Rachet mayya teftahni ma fatah-teshA splash of cold water couldn’t snap me out of it, nothing worked.
Rakeb demaghi w dayes w mazagi fet-talea khalesI’m following my own mind and my mood is soaring higher than ever.
Asraa men sawarikh NASA el wahed yama ‘asaI’m moving faster than NASA’s rockets, because I’ve endured so much pain.
Habaad baeed la teadi men en-nas el ayanaI’ll stay far away so I don’t catch anything from these toxic people.
Ooh satlana satlana lana satlanaOh, I’m just zoned out, completely spaced out now.
W en-nabi tedini ya chef habbet dalaa fi ragheefPlease, Mr. Chef, just serve me up a little bit of joy inside a loaf of bread.
Alshan ashbaa men el farha w awaffar el masareefI want to get my fill of happiness so I can finally save some money.
W en-nabi tedini ya chef habbet dalaa fi ragheefPlease, Mr. Chef, just serve me up a little bit of joy inside a loaf of bread.
Alshan ashbaa men el farha w awaffar el masareefI want to get my fill of happiness so I can finally save some money.
Amala ed-dunya teleff teleff w mor’asanaThe world just keeps spinning and spinning, forcing us to dance to its rhythm.
Ooh satlana satlana lana satlanaOh, I’m just zoned out, completely spaced out now.
Kanaket bon tefawa’ni ma fawa’teshEven a pot of coffee couldn’t wake me up, I’m still drifting.
Rachet mayya teftahni ma fatah-teshA splash of cold water couldn’t snap me out of it, nothing worked.
Rakeb demaghi w dayes w mazagi fet-talea khalesI’m following my own mind and my mood is soaring higher than ever.
Asraa men sawarikh NASA el wahed yama ‘asaI’m moving faster than NASA’s rockets, because I’ve endured so much pain.
Habaad baeed la teadi men en-nas el ayanaI’ll stay far away so I don’t catch anything from these toxic people.
Ooh satlana satlana lana satlanaOh, I’m just zoned out, completely spaced out now.
Ya nefsi khalliki fi nefsik ya emma hatba’i el ghaltanaHey, keep to yourself, my soul, or you’re the one who’ll end up being wrong.
W ya ehsasati hafadal habsak ahsan tegri a elli azanaI’m going to keep my feelings locked away, so they don’t go running back to those who hurt us.
Khadt el elagat w ma kheftech aasabi talfanaI took all the medicine but I didn’t get better, my nerves are completely shot.
Ooh satlana satlana lana satlanaOh, I’m just zoned out, completely spaced out now.
Ya bent ya hobb el hobb ya ‘alb el ‘alb ya nen el eenHey girl, you’re the love of my life, the heart of my heart, and the light of my eyes.
Bahibbek aktar men el fakiha w men chanta fiha malayeenI love you more than fresh fruit or even a suitcase filled with millions.
Nefsi achoufek l’dala’ aleiki w aleyya chwayet benzeenI want to see you acting spoiled while I’m fueled up and ready to go.
Asl ana magnoon fi hobbik w demaghi ta’banaThe truth is I’m crazy about you, but my mind is just so exhausted.
Ooh satlana satlana lana satlanaOh, I’m just zoned out, completely spaced out now.
Men en-nas el ayanaAway from all these toxic people.
