Ya Magnoon
Asala Nasri Lyrics

The lyrics to Asala Nasri's song "YA Magnoon" explore the idea of being lost in love and the emotional turmoil that comes with it. The phrase "ya magnoun" translates to "oh insane one" and is used here to describe the singer's state of mind. She speaks of someone else, "moush ana leila" who isn't her, and how she is not lucky enough to have his love. She longs to be able to laugh with him and for him to make her happy with his affection. Despite feeling lost and overwhelmed, the singer acknowledges that she can only confide in the sky and share her sorrow with the stars.

The chorus of the song is particularly poignant, with the singer repeating "ya magnoun" and expressing her feelings of being lost and uncertain. She feels as though she is struggling and that the person she longs for is a problem, yet she can't help her feelings. The song ultimately captures the sense of desperation and longing that comes with love and how it can sometimes drive us to madness.
