Lyrics and translation Fairouz - Hkayat Kteer

Hkayat Kteer

واليوم بعد ما عشت حكايات كتير صارت بعيدة
قديش فرحت وحزنت والنهايات مش ديماً سعيدة
صحيح اني ما حكيت كل اللي قلته كان بالغنية
الكلام لشو الكلام هيدي حياتي
……………………….
سافرت برمت كتير اغاني غنيت بكل المسارح
صحيح من الآخر فليت وصدى صوتي ساكن المطارح
……………………….
وجوه الناس صارت ممحية ذكرى وحنين كأنه امبارح
في حب الناس الكانو هون لون حياتي
……………………….
مرات كتير خفت وبكيت ما قدرت فل
لهيك بقيت لشو ما بعمره فاد
قصص بتروح وما بتنعاد
قصص واخبار شو كانو كتار
ملو حياتي
……………………….
ولا يوم قدرت اعيش الحياة تانية برات الغنية
حياتي عشتا وما عشتا
تمرق قدامي كانا خبرية
……………………….
اشيا كتير ما قدرت قلتا
وبقيت جواتي نايمة منسية
لوحدي مشيت واجهت الكل
وكفيت حياتي
……………………….
ايام كتير بكيت وصليت
انا وحالي وحدي احتجيت
مش كل شي صار كان ديماً بإيدي
بس انا اكيدة آني امنت
وما استسلمت وعشت حياتي
هيدي حياتي
حكايات كتير

Many Stories

And today, after I've lived many stories that have become distant,
How much I've rejoiced and grieved, and endings aren't always happy.
It's true that I haven't spoken everything, what I said was in the song.
Words, what are words for? This is my life.
……………………….
I've traveled extensively, sung songs in every theater.
It's true, in the end, I've flown away, and the echo of my voice resides in the places.
……………………….
The faces of people have become blurred, a memory and longing as if it were yesterday.
In the love of the people who were here, the color of my life.
……………………….
Many times I was afraid and cried, I couldn't escape.
That's why I stayed, for whatever it's worth.
Stories go and don't come back.
Stories and news, how many there were.
They filled my life.
……………………….
I was never able to live life differently outside of the song.
My life, I lived it and I didn't live it.
It passes before me like a news story.
……………………….
Many things I couldn't say,
And they remained inside me, dormant, forgotten.
Alone I walked, I faced everyone,
And I lived my life.
……………………….
Many days I cried and prayed,
I, myself, alone, needed.
Not everything that happened was always in my hands,
But I am sure that I believed
And I didn't give up, and I lived my life.
This is my life.
Many stories.
