[English]

And I’m lost in madness

And you, are you even on my mind?

No breakfast, no food – my wise man has gone crazy

And I’m living in a fantasy

With her deadly beauty

And I won’t fall for tricks, my heart is locked

Oh girl, you’re just imagining things

When you laugh and sway

You pretend and flirt

And you are one of the stars of my night

My heart is wounded by the thorns of roses

My tears that fell fill dams

My reason that didn’t keep its promises

And left only the scent of gunpowder

Oh daughter of so-and-so? Oh Sultana?

How can a heart that’s been torn apart desire you?

You’re wrong, oh Captain!

Don’t blame anyone but love that has overwhelmed us

I’m not the hero of your dreams

I’m not the hero of your movies

I’m not the one who melts before you

Just wake up from your illusions

And I’m lost in madness

And you, are you even on my mind?

No breakfast, no food – I

My wise man has gone crazy

And I’m living in a fantasy

With her deadly beauty

And I won’t fall for tricks, I

My heart is locked

Oh lady, there’s no love without pain

And the lover is imprisoned without release

All the legends we read have sad endings

And their cause is devastating love

All the stories are just weeping and wailing

We spend the nights in the torment of souls

And that’s how I was, when my poor heart was a door without a key

Oh rose, come closer

And my soul withers

Your scent isn’t mine

And my tears are precious

I’m not the hero of your dreams

I’m not the hero of your movies

I’m not the one who melts before you

Just wake up from your illusions

And I’m lost in madness

And you, are you even on my mind?

No breakfast, no food – I

My wise man has gone crazy

And I’m living in a fantasy

With her deadly beauty

And I won’t fall for tricks, Mom

My heart is locked

[Arabic]

وزايدا في الهبال

و راكي ولا في البال

ولا سحور لا توكال يانا فقيهك تخبّل

و عايشا في الخيال

بزينها القتّال

و ما نطيح في الحبال يانا قلبي مقفّل

يا بنت الناس راك غير تخايلي

ملّي كتضحكي و تتمايلي

تمثلي و تتحايلي

و انت وحدا من نجوم ليلي

قلبي مجروح بشوك الورود

دمعي الّي سال يعمّر سدود

سبابي الّي ما وفى بالوعود

و خلّى غير ريحة البارود

يا بنت فلان ؟ يا سلطانة ؟

كيفاش يبغيك القلب الّي طاح بطانة ؟

غلطانة !!! يا القبطانة

ما تلومي غير الغرام الّي سطّانا

أنا ماشي فتى أحلامك

مانيش بطل أفلامك

مانيش الّي يذوب قدامك

غير فيقي من أوهامك

وزايدا في الهبال

و راكي ولا في البال

ولا سحور لا توكال يانا

فقيهك تخبّل

وعايشا في الخيال

بزينها القتّال

و ما نطيح في الحبال يانا

قلبي مقفّل

يا مرا ما كاين غرام بلا جراح

و المغروم راه مسجون بلا سراح

كل الأساطير الّي قرينا نهايتم حزينة

و سبابهم الحب الذبّاح

كل القصص غير بكا و نواح

سهرانين الليل في عذاب الأرواح

وأنا هكذا كان حالي ملّي قلبي المسكين كان بابو بلا مفتاح

يا الوردة تقالي

و روحي و ذبالي

ريحتك ما ديالي

و أنا دمعي غالي

أنا ماشي فتى أحلامك

مانيش بطل أفلامك

مانيش الّي يذوب قدامك

غير فيقي من أوهامك

و زايدا في الهبال

و راكي ولا في البال

و لا سحور لا توكال يانا

فقيهك تخبّل

وعايشا في الخيال

بزينها القتّال

و ما نطيح في الحبال يمّا

قلبي مقفّل

Key Grammar Structures

• وزايدا في الهبال

  ➔ Use of preposition 'في' indicating location/state of being 'in'.

  ➔ The sentence translates to 'And increasing in madness'. The preposition **في** connects 'زايدا' (increasing) to 'الهبال' (madness), showing where the increase is happening – within the state of madness.

• يا بنت الناس راك غير تخايلي

  ➔ Use of vocative particle 'يا' and the demonstrative pronoun 'راك' (dialectal Moroccan Arabic) functioning as a pronoun.

  ➔ This translates to 'Oh daughter of people, you are just imagining things'. **يا** directly addresses someone, and **راك** is a colloquial way of saying 'you' in Moroccan Arabic, emphasizing the direct address.

• ملّي كتضحكي و تتمايلي

  ➔ Use of the particle 'ملّي' (when/as) introducing a temporal clause and the verb conjugation in the present continuous.

  ➔ This means 'When you laugh and sway'. **ملّي** introduces the condition ('when you laugh'), and 'كتضحكي' and 'تتمايلي' are verbs in the present continuous, describing ongoing actions.

• يا مرا ما كاين غرام بلا جراح

  ➔ Use of the vocative 'يا مرا' (Oh woman) and the negative construction 'ما كاين...ش' (there is no...).
