Kan Tayyeb
Chorus 1:
Khalas baa beyetkalim,
So now she is talking,
Yerham zaman el sekoot.
How I miss the days of silence.
Kiber awam we etaalim,
She grew up quickly and learned,
We khalas teleilo soot.
And now she has a voice.
Chorus 2:
Kan tayeb, kan henayen,
She was nice, she was kind,
Atarri kadab kibeer.
It turns out she is a big liar.
Mosh zay ma kan mebayen,
She is nothing like she had showed.
Da khadaana seneen kiteer.
She decieved us for many years.
Khadana wahda, wahda,
She decieved us little by little,
Wegarahna mara wahda.
And she wounded us all at once.
Wetalim foq yeteer.
And she learned how to fly.
(Chorus 1)
Law yefteker zaman (ah zaman).
If she remembers the past (oh, the past).
Kan howa eih.
What she was.
Kan ayesh bein ideina
She was living between our hands,
We henayeneen aleih.
And we were kind to her.
(Chorus 2)
Ghalta we adeit khalas (ah khalas).
It was a mistake, but it's over now (yes, now)
Hanamel eih?
What shall we do?
Mosh kol el nas bariqa,
Not everyone is innocent,
Fel donia fe we fe.
In this world, there are all types of people.
(Chorus 2)
Khadana wahda, wahda,
She decieved us little by little,
Wegarahna mara wahda.
And she wounded us all at once.
Wetalim foq yeteer.
And she learned how to fly.
