Haifa Wehbe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
انا مالى متاخدة
عالحال ده مش واخدة
يا قلبى لا اهدى
متقولش لا و لا اه
يا قلبى على مهلك
استنى يندهلك
قبل اما تجرى وراه
بقى معقولة بسهولة قوى كدة
انا ارتاحله و اشتاقله قوى كدة
انا مش سهلة فى الحب قوى كدة
مش مرة واحدة
بقى معقولة اصدق كلامه
انا مش بسهولة احس بغرامه
انا لو هاجرى ورا شوقى ليه انا
طب واحدة واحدة
عادى هاعمل نفسى عادى
يعنى ماجتش على المرة دى
انا لو سبته و هو قصادى
قاصدة كدة
هاعمل نفسى مش واخدة بالى
مش هاحكيله و لا اقوله مالى
مش هايبانله انا ايه جرالى
قال يعنى مش فارقة
و انا حالفاله يتعب معايا
دانا ناوياله يجرى ورايا
و اما يقولى داب من هوايا
يومها هاقول عاشقة
In Haifa Wehbe's song "Metakhda," the lyrics speak about a complex and tumultuous relationship. The opening lines, "I am not taking it / I am not accepting it / My heart, don't calm down / Don't tell me yes or no," express the singer's resistance to fully surrendering to this relationship. She is cautious and does not want to be easily swayed.
The chorus reflects the singer's conflicting emotions. She questions whether it is possible for her to easily relax and miss someone so deeply. She emphasizes that she is not easy to love and it's not a one-time thing. She doubts if it's possible to truly trust the love she receives.
The following verses highlight her struggle to maintain her independence and not let her emotions consume her. She tries to convince herself that everything is fine and that she won't show her vulnerability or express her feelings. However, deep inside, she knows that she cannot control her love and longing. Ultimately, she admits that she will be completely devoted and passionate once she allows herself to fall in love.

متاخدة
I'm not taking it
انا مالى متاخدة
I don't belong to anyone
عالحال ده مش واخدة
In this situation, I won't accept it
يا قلبى لا اهدى
Oh my heart, don't fall for it
متقولش لا و لا اه
Don't say no and don't say yes
يا قلبى على مهلك
Take it easy, my heart
استنى يندهلك
Wait for him to call you
متشوف هايستهلك
Don't think it's worth it
قبل اما تجرى وراه
Before you chase after him
بقى معقولة بسهولة قوى كدة
Is it really that easy for him?
انا ارتاحله و اشتاقله قوى كدة
I feel comfortable with him and miss him so much
انا مش سهلة فى الحب قوى كدة
I'm not easily in love like that
مش مرة واحدة
Not just once
بقى معقولة اصدق كلامه
Is it really believable what he says?
انا مش بسهولة احس بغرامه
I don't easily fall for his love
انا لو هاجرى ورا شوقى ليه انا
If I chase after my longing for him, what am I?
طب واحدة واحدة
But one by one
عادى هاعمل نفسى عادى
It's fine, I'll pretend it's fine
يعنى ماجتش على المرة دى
It means it didn't happen this time
انا لو سبته و هو قصادى
If I leave him and he's in front of me
قاصدة كدة
That's what I mean
هاعمل نفسى مش واخدة بالى
I'll pretend I don't care
مش هاحكيله و لا اقوله مالى
I won't tell him or show him my feelings
مش هايبانله انا ايه جرالى
I won't let him know what happened to me
قال يعنى مش فارقة
He said it doesn't matter
و انا حالفاله يتعب معايا
And I swear he'll suffer with me
دانا ناوياله يجرى ورايا
I'm planning for him to chase after me
و اما يقولى داب من هوايا
And when he tells me he's mad about me
يومها هاقول عاشقة
That day I'll say I'm in love
