اذا الموسيقى مش كفاية
عشان تفهم اللي جوّيَّ
فأنا مش عارفة
شو بدّي اسوّي

  اذا الموسيقى مش كفاية

فأنا مش عارفة
شو بدّي اسوّي

انا بقول لك

 
آآآه
 
كلمتين كلمتين كلمتين كلمتين كلمتين
 
حلّ عنّي! حلّ عنّي! حلّ عنّي! حلّ عنّي
حلّ عنّي! حلّ عنّي! حلّ عنّي! حلّ عنّي!
 
أيوا!

اذا الموسيقى مش كفاية

شو بدّي اسوّي
 

حلّ عنّي

English Translation

If the music isn't enough
for you to understand what's inside me,
then I don't know
what to do.

If the music isn't enough
for you to understand what's inside me,
then I don't know
what to do.

Yeah!

I'm saying to you...

Yeah!

Two words. Two words. Two words. Two words.

Get off my back! Get off my back! Get off my back! Get off my back!
Get off my back! Get off my back! Get off my back! Get off my back!

Yeah!

Finally...

If the music isn't enough
for you to understand what's inside me,
then I don't know
what to do.

Get off my back!

[A tribute to all those who lost their lives before their time]
