Taraqt Babak
Ahmed Mekky Lyrics

يا الله
Oh God

كان نفسي اعيش طفولة
I wish I could live my childhood

من صغر سني بشتغل بتنطط من شغلة لشغلة لحد سن الفحولة
Since a young age, I've been jumping from job to job until my youth

ما انا اصل عيلتي اتفككت بدري ومش بيدي عيشت فيلم دراما طويل خدت فيه دور البطولة
My family fell apart early on, and I played the lead role in a long drama that I had no control over

بقيت راجل البيت عندي 12 سنة
I became the man of the house at the age of 12

يارب اقدرني اوري امي ايام هنا
Oh God, please let me show my mother how things have changed

شغلى فى طفولتى نشفلى عضمي تمام
My childhood work carved me to the bone

تشهد نوادي الفيديو وسوق القلعة والحمام
The video clubs, Souk AlQala'a, and AlHamam witnessed my youth

سوق الجمعة اللى اتعلمت منه ياما
I learned a lot from Friday's market

دروس فادتني وهتفيدني لحد يوم القيامة
Those lessons helped me then and will help me until the Day of Judgment

الدنيا صراع في صراع
Life is one struggle after another

كله بياكل في كله
Everyone eats each other

ومعنى الطيبة ضاع
The meaning of goodness is lost

اشكي لمين واقوله
Who do I complain to and tell?

الدنيا مالها قلبت غابة
The world is a jungle with no heart

الارنب فيها مالوش مكان
The rabbit has no place in it

والغلابة بس للديابة
And the poor are only for the devils

لو سلمت دماغك للفكرة هتعيش كئابة
If you surrender your mind to the idea, you'll live miserably

اقولك ع اللى يخلي الفكرة تمر مرور سحابة
I tell you about what makes the idea pass like a passing cloud

اسمع
Listen

دوام الحال من المحال
The nature of things is inevitable

صدقني بكرا الشمس تطلع مهما ليلك طال
Believe me, tomorrow the sun will rise no matter how long your night is

مهما مراكبك عطلت وقفت ما تكتئبش
No matter how much your ships stop working, don't be sad

سيبها على الله واتوكل صدقني بكرا تمشي
Leave it to God and trust Him, believe me, tomorrow it will work out

طرقت باااااااابك يا .
I knocked on your door, oh God

رزقه اتقطع او رزقها
His or her provision is cut off

اتصدي لنار مش قدها
He or she confronts a fire that they cannot handle

ودعت ناس من كل قلبك كنت تحبها ؟
Did you have to say goodbye to people you truly loved?

في دور مسير مش بيدك ولا بيدها
It's all in the hands of destiny, not yours or theirs

كل اللى في ايدك تسعى وتدعى ربك . فكها
All you can do is strive and pray to God. Leave the rest to Him

هو الوحيد اللى في ايديه مفتاحها وحلها
He is the only one with the key and solution

مش ممكن ابدا هيضيع جهدك او جهدها
Your efforts won't go to waste

ولو حسيتها قفلت وهمومك كترت عليك
Even if it seems closed and your worries pile up

ما تقولش ربي غضبان يمكن من حبه فيك
Don't say that God is angry with you, maybe He loves you

قفلها جامد عاوزك تفتكره اصلك نسيت
It's tightly closed, and it wants you to remember where you came from

لو مش بيحبك كان سابك ما كان خلاك صحيت
If He didn't love you, He would have left you, and you wouldn't have woken up

عاوزك ترجعله اصلك وحشته . وتقول يارب
He wants you to go back to Him, and He misses you. And you say, Oh God

ربك عظيم مجيب كريم ما بيرفضش الطلب
Your Lord is great, answering, and generous. He never refuses a request

بس انت روحله خطوة . هجيلك خطوتين
It's just one step for you to go to Him, and He will come to you twice as fast

خلق مفهوم الرحمه واسمه رحمان رحيم
He created the concept of mercy, and His name is Most Merciful, Most Compassionate

كله بيعدي العمر بيجري اسرع من النسيم
Everyone is passing through life running faster than the wind

سلمله امرك واتوكل وارضى هتدوق نعيم
Submit your matter to Him, trust Him, and be content. You will taste the bliss

طرقت باااااااابك يا .
I knocked on your door, oh God
