Overall Meaning

The song "Baaref" by Hisham El Hajj is a love song that speaks to missing and longing for one's lover. The opening verse "Baaref eshtaktelleh w ghayri ma hada, ma baddak tkully sammeneh sada" translates to "I know I miss you and no one else, you don't have to tell me, let me hear an echo." The singer acknowledges that they miss their significant other and desires to hear their voice or some form of communication, even if it's an echo.

The chorus "Sadda sawtak daq qalbak, la tghayyeb 3anni, b'dee3 mnne, khedni w 3al hada w ma ye3ref hada" repeats the plea to not disappear, as the singer fears losing their love if they do. They go on to state "every time my love disappears from my mind, I remember and talk to myself," indicating that the absence of their love causes them to become lost in their own thoughts and memories of the relationship.

The final verse "Bhessik ma3i aktar, btedal ba'eyyouni, basskouni w janouni, khedni w 3al hada w ma ye3ref hada" translates to "I feel you with me more, you remain in my eyes, my calmness and madness. Take me and let's make a pact that no one knows." The singer expresses that they feel their love's presence even when they are apart and craves to be taken away with them, alone.
