Elissa started off her singing career in the early 90s on a talent show, Studio el Fan, on LBC. After a long absence, she came back with a Spanish-Arabic single, titled “Badi Doub” in 1998. Her first album Baddi Doub was one of the largest selling albums in Lebanon and the Middle East, selling over 150,000 copies. "Baddi Doub" (Turkish: "Be Adam") featured a flamenco artist named Gerard Ferrer, with music by Ozkan Turgay.
Her second project in 2000 was a duet with Ragheb Alameh "Betghib Betrouh." The song was included in Elissa's second album W'akherta Ma'ak, which went on to sell more than 200,000 copies.
Later on, Elissa was featured with the international artist Chris DeBurgh in an Arabic-English song titled “Lebanese Nights”, which was written, composed and distributed by DeBurgh. He wrote this song while on his last visit to the country. He decided to sing it with a Lebanese singer, and chose Elissa. The song was recorded in London and released in DeBurgh's 2002 Album, Timing Is Everything.
Her third album Ayshalak was released in June 2002 supported by a video clip filmed in Paris by French director Fabrice Begotti, wardrobe and make up by Christian Dior. The video and song were huge successes, and with the aid of the composer/arranger Jean-Marie Riachi, Elissa was able to follow with another hit—"Ajmal Ehsaas" was Elissa's second single from Ayshalak. The video clip was directed by the Lebanese director, Selim El Turk.
Elissa’s fourth album, Ahla Donya was released in 2004. This was one of the fastest selling albums ever in the Arab world. This album was the first under Elissa's contract with Rotana, the music production company. The album included a variety of songs, such as Koll Youm Fi Omry, Erga' Lel Shoa', Hobbak Waja' (Inta Lameen) and Ahla Donya. The album received a 2005 World Music Award for best selling album in the Middle East and North Africa. In 2005, a Special Collector's Edition of the record was made available (1000 copies) with state-of-the-art packaging including a mini-biography.
Elissa is an official spokesperson for Pepsi. In 2006 she co-starred with Christina Aguilera in a Pepsi Cola advertisement. In early 2006, Elissa released her fifth studio effort, the album Bastanak, which has sold nearly 3.7 million copies, according to Rotana.

إليسا Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ولا عمرى فكرت اخدعك
ملءتش جرح بيوجعك
ولا قلب عز علاك و
عيزنى تانى اصدقك
و اسيب حياتك تسرءك
شئ مستحيل انى اعشقك
او حتى افكر فيك
و بكل بساكة لعبت بيه
و عيزنى ارجع دلوقتى ليه
لحياتى معاك شفت الاقسوه
فيك و عرفت الغضر دة من عناك
انا بعد كله دة ازاى و ليه ارجع لهواك
ايام حياتى كلها بوهم فروحى
و قولها انك اكيد محتجلها كدبت
كل دة ليه عيشتنى فا اجمل هوا
و وعتنى هنكون سوة اخرتها ضاع
عمرى بءداك ما تقولى ذنبى انا ايه
ولاهى انا قلبى جنيت عليه و بكل

فاتت سنين و انا بسمعك
Years have passed and I am still listening to you
ولا عمرى فكرت اخدعك
I never thought of deceiving you
ملءتش جرح بيوجعك
I did not fill a wound that hurts you
ولا قلب عز علاك و
Nor did I cherish your dear heart
عيزنى تانى اصدقك
I want to believe in you again
و اسيب حياتك تسرءك
And leave your life as you please
شئ مستحيل انى اعشقك
It's impossible for me to love you
او حتى افكر فيك
Or even think of you
ولاهى انا قلبى جنيت عليه
And it's not that I manipulated my heart
و بكل بساكة لعبت بيه
And played with it carelessly
و عيزنى ارجع دلوقتى ليه
But I want to return to it now
لحياتى معاك شفت الاقسوه
In my life with you, I saw the toughest
فيك و عرفت الغضر دة من عناك
In you, I learned betrayal from your actions
انا بعد كله دة ازاى و ليه ارجع لهواك
After all this, how can I and why should I return to your love?
ايام حياتى كلها بوهم فروحى
All my days were an illusion in my soul
و قولها انك اكيد محتجلها كدبت
And telling myself that you definitely needed me was a lie
كل دة ليه عيشتنى فا اجمل هوا
Why all this? To live in your beautiful love
و وعتنى هنكون سوة اخرتها ضاع
And you promised me we will be together, but it was lost in the end
عمرى بءداك ما تقولى ذنبى انا ايه
Never have I said my fault was with you
ولاهى انا قلبى جنيت عليه و بكل
And it's not that I manipulated my heart with all its pain

فاتت سنين و أنا بسمعك و لا عمري فكرت أخدعك
مالقيتش جرحي بيوجعك و لا قلبي عز عليك
و عايزني تاني أصدقك و أسيب حياتك تسرق
شئ مستحيل إني أعشقك أو حتى أفكر فيك
و الله أنا قلبي جنيت عليك و بكل بساطة لعبت بيه
و عايزني ارجع دلوقتي ليك لحياتي معاك
شفت القسوة فيك و عرفت الغدر ده من عنيك
أنا بعد ده كل ازاي و ليه ارجع لهواك
أيام حياتي كلها بوهم في روحي و أقولها
أنك أكيد محتاج لها كذبت كل ده ليه
أخرتها ضاع عمري بين أديك متقولي ذنبي أنا إيه
و الله أنا قلبي جنيت عليك و بكل بساطة لعبت بيه
و عايزني ارجع دلوقتي ليك لحياتي معاك
شفت القسوة فيك و عرفت الغدر ده من عنيك
أنا بعد ده كل ازاي و ليه ارجع لهواك
و الله أنا قلبي جنيت عليك و بكل بساطة لعبت بيه
و عايزني ارجع دلوقتي ليك لحياتي معاك
شفت القسوة فيك و عرفت الغدر ده من عنيك
أنا بعد ده كل ازاي و ليه ارجع لهواك
