Translation
Without me even knowing your name
My eyes called out to you
Pain became something normal
But my heart stayed around you
So it became normal
That you treat me like a stranger
Your looks are full of cruelty and your silence is unsettling
It’s okay if you miss someone else
It’s okay, betrayal never helps
It’s okay, stop tying me to you
It’s okay, maybe someone else will please you
With blood, with blood we stand together
And by the right of my voice that healed
I don’t sell and I don’t betray
And true companionship never fades
Even if my pain was intended
Time betrayed me, oh my eyes
Those who were mine and from me sold me out
They forgot the loyalty they once had
And poured darkness to drown me
And hearts can endure, even if the earth’s sand betrays
Scars will fade if my old friends return
Hearts can endure, even if the earth’s sand betrays
Scars will fade if my old friends return
With blood, with blood we stand together
And by the right of my voice that healed
I don’t sell and I don’t betray
And true companionship never fades
Even if my pain was intended
By God, we anchored on our eyes
And on your flaws, we kept quiet and accepted
But when hardship accompanied my roads
Your words rose against me
Hearts can endure, even if the earth’s sand betrays
Scars will fade if my old friends return
Hearts can endure, even if the earth’s sand betrays
Scars will fade if my old friends return
Arabic Lyrics
من غير علمي بأسمك
عيني نادت عليك
والأذى صار عادي
بس بالي ضل حواليك
يعني هيك صار عادي
تعاملني غريب
نظراتك كلها قسوة وصمتك مريب
عادي بشتاق لو غيري فيك
عادي عمرو الغدر ما يفيد
عادي حاج تعلقني فيك
عادي إنشاءالله غيري يرضيك
عالدم عالدم سوا
و حق صوتي اللي دوا
ما بيع ولا خون
والعِشرة ما تهون
لو على أذاي نوى
جار الزمان يا عيني
باعوني اللي منّي وفيني
سهي الوفا الي فيهن
رشوا العتم يرويني
وتهون يا قلوب لو خان رمل الأرض
وتروح ندوب لو رجعولي رفاق الدرب
بتهون يا قلوب لو خان رمل الأرض
وتروح ندوب لو رجعولي رفاق الدرب
عالدم عالدم سوا
و حق صوتي اللي دوا
ما بيع ولا خون
والعِشرة ما تهون
لو على أذاي نوى
والله وعلى عيونا رسِينا
و على عيوبِك سكتنا رضينا
و لما العرج رافق دروبي
قامت حروفِك علينا
بتهون يا قلوب لو خان رمل الأرض
وتروح ندوب لو رجعولي رفاق الدرب
بتهون يا قلوب لو خان رمل الأرض
وتروح ندوب لو رجعولي رفاق الدرب
