The Labess song Au bord de l'eau is a nostalgic reflection on a lost love. The singer speaks to his former partner, who is sitting by the water, reminiscing about their past together. He regrets not being able to keep the relationship alive and to make her happy. The first verse reflects on their earlier time, and the location by the sea, where they had a great time together. The second verse is about his present situation, where he can feel God's comfort and protection, but still misses his beloved.
The chorus repeats the same lines, emphasizing the longing the singer feels for his ex-partner. The third and fourth verses talk about the singer's confusion and uncertainty, as he tries to make sense of what went wrong. He feels like he was not able to understand the woman he loved and, consequently, lost her. He ponders the age-old question of whether women are a blessing or a curse.
The song's lyrics express a particular poignancy and a feeling of loss. The use of Arabic in some of the lyrics highlights the singer's cultural background, lending authenticity to the lyrics' sentimentality. The song's melody is a mix of Arabic and Western music, which conveys the singer's cultural identity and the universality of the feelings expressed.

Nazish Qureshi I'll try (approximatly )
I saw you seated on the edge of the water (sea )
On the sand, enjoying your life
You stole my mind and I had not become patient
I slowly started to lean toward you
When will God "help" / provide relief
To push aside my doubts ?
I saw you ever since you have owned my heart
You took it far away from me
You were seated at the edge of the water
It was during a summer at Saint Jo
The sun, nature, everything was beautiful
And me, I liked to act macho
When will God provide relief
To push aside my doubts ?
I saw you, ever since you have owned my heart
You took it far away from me
I did'nt know what was happening
Since I was born , people repeated to me that
woman was the devil and the sin
Was it the truth or lies?
When will my Lord provide relief
For me to push aside my doubts?
I saw you and ever since you have owned my heart
Far away from me you took it
I didn’t know what was happening
The story of a day or one of many more days
The woman is a devil, I was taught during my childhood
Was it the truth or lies?
When will my Lord provide relief
For me to push aside my doubts?
I saw you and ever since you have owned my heart
you took it far away from me
( Hope I did'nt make too much mistakes ;) )
