Paroles et traduction Najwa Karam - ليش مغرب

ليش مغرب

و بتسألني ليش مغرب
وعايش وحيد
بأرض بلادي عشت معذب
و شو طالع بالأيد
سرقونا ما حكينا
شردونا بكينا
قالوا ارجعوا جينا
سرقونا من جديد
و بتسألني ليش مغرب
جعنا ما سألونا
تا نسأل ممنوع
قصدن يطعمونا
شبعونا دموع
ما هربت من بلادي
أنا بعبدها عبادى
أنا خايف ع ولادى
لا يموتو من الجوع
و بتسألني ليش مغرب
إذا بدك تسألني بالرجعه موعود
و حياتك لو فييى كنت الليلة بعود
كتب ولادى كانوا همي
دوا غالى لوجع أمي
كان حقو أغلى من دمى
لبست تيابى السود
و بتسألني ليش مغرب
وعايش وحيد
بأرض بلادي عشت معذب
و شو طالع بالأيد
سرقونا ما حكينا
شردونا بكينا
قالوا ارجعوا جينا
سرقونا من جديد

Why Did You Go West?

And you ask me why I went west,
Living alone
In the land of my home I lived in torment,
And what came of it?
They robbed us and we did not speak out,
They displaced us and we wept,
They said, "Come back" and we did.
They robbed us again.
And you ask me why I went west.
We starved and they did not ask,
To ask was forbidden,
They intended to feed us,
They filled us with tears.
I did not flee my homeland,
I worship her and her people,
I am afraid for my children,
That they will die of hunger.
And you ask me why I went west.
If you must ask me, my return is promised,
By your life, if it were in my power, I would return tonight.
My children's education was my concern,
A costly medicine for my mother's pain,
It was worth more than my blood.
I wore my black mourning clothes,
And you ask me why I went west.
Living alone
In the land of my home I lived in torment,
And what came of it?
They robbed us and we did not speak out,
They displaced us and we wept,
They said, "Come back" and we did.
They robbed us again.
