Yaah Meaning & Lyrics (Tamer Ashour)
Ashour repeats ‘I easily gave him my life and he sold it’ to emphasize destructive asymmetry. His lyrics trace a progression from confusion to clarity, noting hollow oaths and discarded secrets. The repeated demand ‘He should just say what he saw’ anchors unanswered accusations.
Yah Yah ‘Alsnin Al-Masrou’inOh, oh, for those stolen years,
Meni F Hawah ‘Alfadi YahSpent on a love that was empty and vain.
Khanani Al-Jamal W Al-Qalb ShalBeauty betrayed me while the heart bore,
Awja’ Tutaqal W Yarit YensahHeavy sorrows that I wish it’d forget.
Dah AdhahThat’s just his way.
