Lyrics and translation Souad Massi - Matebkiche

Matebkiche

ما تخميش، ما تبكيش
أنا ما قالهالي حتى واحد
ما تخميش، ما تبكيش
كنت حابة يقولهالي كاش واحد

كامل الناس يرقدوا
جابلي ربي بلي الوقت حبس
كامل الناس يطفيو الضو
نسمع الليل يتنفس

ما تخميش، ما تبكيش
أنا ما قالهالي حتى واحد
ما تخميش، ما تبكيش
كنت حابة يقولهالي كاش واحد

كاين لي مازالهم سهرانين
من هنا راني نسمع صوتهم
فالنهار يبانولي فرحانين
فالليل يبكوا وحدهم

ما تخميش، ما تبكيش
أنا ما قالهالي حتى واحد
ما تخميش، ما تبكيش
كنت حابة يقولهالي كاش واحد

مرات نخاف كي نسقسي روحي
وعلاش رانا عايشين
مرات تسقسيني روحي
وقتاش كنا عايشين

ما تخميش، ما تبكيش
أنا ما قالهالي حتى واحد
ما تخميش، ما تبكيش
كنت حابة يقولهالي كاش واحد

Don't worry, don't cry

Don't cry, don't weep
I never heard anyone ever say that to me
Don't cry, don't weep
I always wished that someone would tell me that

Everybody is sleeping
Sometimes, God restricts my movements
Everybody turns off the lights
We hear the night breathing

Don't cry, don't weep
I never heard anyone ever say that to me
Don't cry, don't weep
I always wished that someone would tell me that

Some are still awake
I can hear their voices from here
During the day, they seem happy
At night, they weep alone

Don't cry, don't weep
I never heard anyone ever say that to me
Don't cry, don't weep
I always wished that someone would tell me that

Sometimes I'm afraid to ask myself
Why are we even alive?
Sometimes, my soul asks me
When were we ever truly alive?

Don't cry, don't weep
I never heard anyone ever say that to me
Don't cry, don't weep
I always wished that someone would tell me that
