Paroles et traduction Marwan Khoury - El Ana

El Ana

بتعرفلك شي حدا مش أناني
ما بيبني سعادتو عضهر التاني

كلنا عنّا الأنا
والله مش بس أنا
في ناس بتخبّيا
وناس بتبيّنا

عناّ طبع غريب
مفكرين الأرض
بتبرم كرمالنا
منستكتر حالنا
عاللي قبالنا
ما بدنا نعيش لحدا
بس بدنا الكل
يعيش كرمالنا

هيي القصة و ما فيها
نحنا منبلّش الشغلة
بس ما منحب نكفيها

بدنا شوية من كل شي
عطول بدنا أكتر
منجرب نكتفي ما منقدر

El Ana (The Ego)

Do you know anyone who's not selfish, darling?
Someone who doesn't build their happiness on another's back?

We all have egos, my love,
It's not just me, believe me.
Some people hide it,
And some show it off, dear.

We have a strange habit, sweet girl,
Thinking the Earth
Revolves around us.
We don't appreciate ourselves enough,
Compared to others.
We don't want to live for anyone,
But we want everyone
To live for us, my dear.

That's the story, plain and simple, beautiful.
We start things,
But we don't like to finish them.

We want a little bit of everything, my love.
We always want more.
We try to be content, but we can't, can we?
