Taraqto Babak
Ahmed Mekky Lyrics

كان نفسى اعيش طفوله من صغر سنى باشتغل
I wished to live my childhood from a young age and work, jumping from one job to another until I grew up.

بتنطط من شغله لشغله لحد سن الفحوله
I was jumping from one job to another until I reached my prime age.

ما انا اصلى عيلتى اتفككت بدرى ومش بيدى
My family fell apart early, and I couldn't do anything about it.

عيشت فيلم دراما طويل خدت فيه دور البطوله
I lived a long drama movie and played the lead role in it.

بقيت راجل البيت عمرى 12 سنه
I became the man of the house at the age of 12.

يارب قدرنى اوى امى من انا
God, please grant my mother's wishes for me.

شغلى فى طفولتى نشفلى عضمى تمام
My work in childhood drained me completely.

تشهد نوادى الفيديو وسوق القلعه و الحمام
I witnessed video clubs, markets, and public baths.

سوق الجمعه اللى اتعلمت منه ياما
I learned many lessons from Friday markets.

دروس فاتتنى وهتفيدنى لحد يوم القيامه
I missed some lessons that would have benefited me until the Day of Judgment.

الدنيا صراع فى صراع كلو بياكل فى كلو
The world is a constant struggle, where everybody eats everybody else.

ومعنى الطيبه ضاع اشكى لمين واقوللوا
The meaning of kindness is lost. Who can I complain to and tell?

الدنيا مالها قلبت غابه الارنب فيها ملهوش مكان و الغلبه بس للديابه
The world has no heart; it's like a forest where rabbits have no place, and only the strongest survive.

لو سلمت دماغك للفكره هتعيش كابه
If you surrender your mind to the idea, you'll live a satisfying life.

لقولك على يخلى الفكره تمر مرور سحابه
Just so you know, the idea will pass like a fleeting cloud.

اسمع. دوام الحال من المحال صدقنى بكره الشمس تطلع مهما ليلك طال
Listen, things change constantly, and tomorrow the sun will rise, no matter how long your night.

مهما مركبك عطلت وقفت ماتكتئبش سيبها على الله وصدقنى بكره تمشى
No matter how many breakdowns you face in life, don't get depressed. Leave it to God, and trust that tomorrow will be better.

طرقت بابك يالله
I knocked on your door, Oh God.

زرقوا اتقطع او رزقها ودعت ناس من كل قلبك كنت بتحبها
They might cut me off, or they might provide sustenance. I prayed for the people I truly loved.

فى دور مسير من بيدك ولا بيدها كل اللى فى ايدك تسعى وتدعى ربك فكها
There's a role for destiny beyond our control. What you can control, though, is your effort and prayer to God to open doors.

هو الوحيد اللى فى ايديه مفتاحها وحلها مش ممكن ابدا هيضيع جهدك او جهدها
He is the only one who holds the key to opening and solving anything. Your effort or someone else's will never go to waste.

ولو حسيتها قفلت و همومك كترت عليك
Even if you feel it's locked, and your worries are too many to handle.

ماتقولش ربي غضبان يمكن من حبه فيك
Don't say that God is angry with you. Maybe he loves you dearly.

قفلها جامد عاوزك تفتكره اصلك نسيت
It's locked tightly because He wants you to remember something you've forgotten about your origin.

لو مش بيحبك كان سابك ماكان خلاك صحيت
If He didn't love you, He would have abandoned you a long time ago, and you wouldn't have woken up to this realization.

عاوزك ترجعله أصلك وحشته و تقول يارب
He wants you to go back to your origins and pray to him in yearning.

ربك عظيم مجيب كريم مابيرفضش الطلب
Your Lord is Great, Generous, and never refuses a request.

بس أنت روحله خطوه هايجيلك خطوتين
But you have to take a step towards him, and he will come towards you two steps.

خلق مفهوم الرحمه و أسمه رحمن رحيم
He created the concept of mercy and named himself the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate.

كله بيعدي العمري بيجري أسرع من النسيم
Everybody's life is passing by quickly, faster than the wind.

سلمله أمرك و اتوكل و أرضي هاتدوق نعيم
Submit your affairs to Him, trust Him, and be content. You will taste bliss.

طرقت بابك يا الله
I knocked on your door, Oh God.
