SONG LYRICS
عرفتُ فوقَ أمرٍ متعبٍ I met him on a tired moon
يبتسم كأنه يحمل اسراراً He smiles as if he was carrying secrets
كان كلامه عطراً وعوّدَ نعمة His words were fragrant and promises were blessings
وخلفها ظلّ من اصرار And behind them was a shade of secrets
أهداني أغانٍ تلمس قلبي I was guided by a song that touched my heart
نقشها على أطراف المساء I wrote it on the edges of the night
لم أدري أن بين النغم والكلام I didn't know that between the melody and the words
يخفي بمرارة خداعٍ سمّا It hides the bitterness of a treacherous liar
يا ساحرُ لئخَ أنتَ قلبي O magician, why did you deceive my heart?
صوتُكَ سحرًا وجراحُهُ باقي Your voice is a magician and its wound is still
خانَ عهدُنا في ليلةٍ بلا آمان He betrayed our promise on a sleepless night
ورحل كالعاصفة بلا أثر He left like a storm without a trace
تركُ ورائه مرآةً مشوقةً وشمعةً He left behind him a woman who was longing for him
وانطفت على صدر المنزل المريب And a candle was lit on the sick man's chest
وبعدَ أيامٍ عاد يبتسم And after a few days he smiles again
في يدهِ أغنيةُ اعتذارٍ معدّ كتوعٌ من قديم In his hand is a song of apology that is made up of old pieces
أدى للحنَ اعترافٍ مزيفٍ ليلة فمجروح ثم يختفي بعيد He gave me a song of confession that is like a night and a wound that then disappears
يا ساحرٌ ليخَنتَ قلبي Oh magician, why did you deceive my heart?
صوتُكَ سحرًا وجراحُهُ باقي Your voice is a magician and its wound is still
أدى الأغنية لي كي يشتري He gave me the song to buy
سَكَوْتِ أُمُّ لي ثَبَتُ لَنَفْسِهِ أَنّهُ مُلُكُ قَلْبِي My mother kept silent, she didn't prove to herself that he is the king of my heart
هَلْ كَانَ نَدَمَ حَقِيقِيًا أُمْ نَغْمَةٌ رَخِصَةٌ تُخْفِي طَعْمَ الْخِيَانَةِ فِي طَيَّاتَهَا Was it really a regret or a cheap tune that hides the taste of betrayal in its melodies?
حَبَّاتُ الْمَطَرَ عَلَى النَّفِيَةُ هَمَسُ بِأَسْمَاءٍ سَقَطْ وَالظِّلَالٌ تَتْرَنَّمُ بِحِكَايةٍ قَدِيمَةٌ The raindrops on the windows were soaked with the names of the fallen, and the shadows were soaked with an old story
وَنَنَا وَقِفَةٌ أَمَامْ مَرْءَاتٍ مُحْتَرِقَةٍ أَعَدُّ لَائِحَةَ الْأَلَمُ وَأَقْرَأَ النِّهَايةِ الصَّرِيحَةِ And I am standing in front of a burning woman, I count the pain and read the clear ending
يَا سَحْرُ لِخَنْتَ قَلْبِي صَوْتَكَ سَحْرٌ وَجْرَاحُهُ بَاقِي تِتْكَرُوا لِمَرْءَ الْأَخِيرَ
تِتْكَرُوا لِمَرْءَ الْأَخِيرَ تُغْلِقُوا كَخْتَمٍ فِي الْقَلِّبِ
أَخَتُ أُغْنَيْتُكِ لَمْ أَحْرَكُهَا بَلْ وَضَعَتُهَا فِي دَرْجٍ مَا بَيْنَ أَوْرَاقِي
كلُّ نَغْمَةٍ تَذَكَّرُنِ لَكِنُها صَارْتُ أُوْذًا لِرُوحٍ لَا تَنْكَسُرُ بِسْهُولَتِي
لَمْ أَعْدُ ضَحَيَّةً لِسَحَرَكْ تُحَوَّلُتُ أَنَا إِلَى سَحِرَةٍ عَلَى بَابِ حَيَاتِي
أَلْأَنُ عِيدُ تَرْتِبَ النُّجُومِ بِنَفْسِي وَجَعَلُ لَحْنَ قَلْبِي لَا يُشْتَرَ وَلَا يُبَاعُ
