The lyrics to Khaled's song "Haya Ya" are in Arabic, but they can be roughly translated to English as follows: "I walked away but didn't forget her, she's the problem that's consuming me. I wanted to bring my people, I have a plan and I'm forgiving her. She's welcome in my home, and I've come with a thousand stories. What she cares about isn't shameful or disgraceful. She's welcome in my home, and I've come with a thousand stories, but I can't control her. She's the one who wanted this, the things that she's asking for."
The song seems to be about a troubled relationship where the singer has tried to move on but is still haunted by the problems caused by his partner. He wants to bring his friends and loved ones into the fold but is unsure whether his partner will reciprocate the kindness. The repeated refrain of "Haya Ya" seems to be a call for action or a rallying cry for the singer's resolve to move forward despite the difficulties.
Overall, the lyrics to "Haya Ya" are quite cryptic and can be interpreted in many different ways depending on the listener's perspective. However, the song's catchy melody and upbeat tempo make it a fun and enjoyable listen.
