Phonetic Lyrics
W etnesina
Min nas kano ghalyeen 3aleena
El zahr eno da7ak 3aleena
W tla3na aslan mesh far’een
W etnahena
Min el wade7 eno ra7et 3aleena
W zay ma ro7na zay ma geena
W badelona be nas tanyeen
Alo 7abibi leh 7abib tani
Sabni wa7eed w sabni ba3ani
Ezay edr eno yensani
Kont faker elly beena kteer
3ayrooni beek aloli neseek
Alo kalam matamenish
Aloli 3ayesh min ba3deek
W hwent 3aleek edert tbee3
Mashi sayeb ro7i feek
Sa3ban 3alaya nafsi akeed
Ezay weselna lel daraga di
We 3amel nafsi mesh fare’
Nefara’ nas w netfare’
W tela3 el wa’t maynaseesh
W tal3a el 7esba bel saleb

El zahr eno da7ak 3aleena
W tla3na aslan mesh far’een
W etnahena
Min el wade7 eno ra7et 3aleena
W zay ma ro7na zay ma geena
W badelona be nas tanyeen
English translation
We forgot
About people who were dear to us
Apparently they fooled us
And we turned out not to matter at all
We ended
It’s clear that we lost our chance
Just as we came and went
They replaced us with others
They said my love found another love
Left me alone and left me suffering
How could they forget me
I thought what we had was so much
They taunted me about you, said you forgot me
Said words that didn’t comfort me
They said you’re living without me
And I meant nothing to you, you managed to sell us out
Fine, I’m leaving my soul with you
I surely feel sorry for myself
How did we reach this point
While I’m pretending not to care
We separate from people and drift apart
And time doesn’t forget
And the outcome turns out negative
We forgot
About people who were dear to us
Apparently they fooled us
And we turned out not to matter at all
We ended
It’s clear that we lost our chance
Just as we came and went
They replaced us with others
Arabic lyrics
اتنسينا
من ناس كانوا غاليين علينا
الظاهر انو اضحك علينا
وطلعنا اصلا مش فارقين
اتنهينا
من الواضح انو راحت علينا
و زي ما روحنا زي ما جينا
و بدلونا بناس تانيين
قالو حبيبي ليه حبيب تاني
سابني وحيد و سابني بعاني
ازاي قدر انو ينساني
كنت فاكر الي بينا كتير
عايروني بيك قالولي نسيك
قالو كلام مطمنيش
قالولي عايش من بعديك
وهونت عليك قدرت تبيع
ماشي سايب روحي فيك
صعبان عليا نفسي اكيد
ازاي وصلنا للدرجه دي
وعامل نفسي مش فارق
نفارق ناس و نتفارق
وطلع الوقت مينسيش
وطالعه الحسبه ب السالب
اتنسينا
من ناس كانوا غاليين علينا
الظاهر انو اضحك علينا
وطلعنا اصلا مش فارقين
اتنهينا
من الواضح انو راحت علينا
و زي ما روحنا زي ما جينا
و بدلونا بناس تانيين
What’s the song about?
This song is a heartbreaking narrative about betrayal and lost love. The singer expresses his pain over being forgotten by someone who was once dear to him. He describes how he was replaced and how others mock him about being forgotten. The lyrics are structured in a way that shows his gradual acceptance of the situation – from disbelief to resignation. Despite trying to appear unaffected, his deep hurt is evident throughout the song. The metaphor of a “negative outcome” in the final line emphasizes the bitter end to what he thought was a meaningful relationship.
