Latifa has been a professional singer since the 1980s. She has released more than twenty albums and singles in the Arab world, in addition to some worldwide releases. During her 20+ year career, Latifa released more than forty music videos.
A child prodigy at the age of six, Latifa's musical career began very early in her life. In 1983, shortly after her father died, a teenage Latifa and her family took a trip to Egypt to rest and mourn. During that time, Latifa met the great Egyptian composer Baligh Hamdi, who recommended she move to Egypt to further her musical career. However, Latifa put her education first and returned to Tunisia to finish her final exams. Due to financial issues, she couldn't go back to Egypt, so she attended college in Tunisia, studying Dutch literature for a year and a half. Finally, her family decided to help her make her dream come true and sent her to Egypt. After Latifa left college in Tunisia, she joined the Arab Academy of Music in Egypt, from which she earned her bachelor's degree. Even with her current busy schedule, Latifa is preparing for her master's degree.
Latifa's talent attracted countless star composers who gathered around her. Once when Latifa was singing live on a radio station, Egyptian composer Mohammed Abdulwahab (popularly known as "artist of the generations") happened to hear her. Two days later he went to the Academy to find the girl he had heard on the radio. Latifa was speechless when she discovered he, who had composed some of Egypt's most beautiful music, wanted to talk to her.At the time Latifa primarily performed lengthy classical Tarab songs, but she was interested in doing something new. She began to work with composer Ammar Al Sherai'ei and poet Abdulwahab Mohammed, whom she met during her first visit to Egypt. Slowly but surely, Latifa climbed up the ladder of success.

Latifa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
وندمع وأحنا بنتألم
ويقولى أنسى وأقوله أنسانى
ونتفارق ونوحش بعض ونتأسف
ونقول أدينا بنتعلم
عمرنا ماهنعمل كدة تاني
وأهو كل يوم على بعض بنقسى
وبنمشي وناوين ع البعد
فى الأخر مالناش غير بعض
بنتقابل وصوتنا بيعلى وبيسمع
وندمع وأحنا بنتألم
ويقولى أنسى وأقوله أنسانى
بنتقابل ونسمع بعض كلام يوجع
وبنمشى من غير مانسلم
ونبيع مش باقيين على حاجة
ونتفارق وفى لحظة نشتاق وبنرجع
وبنضحك ونفضل نتكلم
من غير مانلوم بعض فى حاجة
وأهو كل يوم على بعض بنقسى
وبنمشى وناوين ع البعد
ونبص فى عين بعض بننسى
The lyrics to Latifa's song "Bnetkabel" describe the dynamic and complicated nature of a relationship between two people who keep meeting and disconnecting. The first verse speaks of their meetings, where their voices rise and they listen to each other, tearing up as they both feel the pain of the relationship. They both offer each other advice to forget, but at the same time, they realize that they can't forget each other.
Despite their efforts to move on and walk away, they always end up hurting each other and becoming distant. Yet, they still long for each other and apologize for their behavior in moments of separation. They admit that they need to learn from their mistakes and stop hurting each other.
In the second verse, they continue to meet and listen to each other, but their conversations are painful, causing them to walk away without resolving anything. They both feel like they are no longer invested in the relationship and feel distant from each other. However, in moments of separation, they realize how much they miss each other and are drawn back to one another. They laugh and talk but still worry about falling into the same pattern of hurting each other.
Overall, the song is about the push and pull of a relationship, the pain of separation, and the hope that things can change between the two people involved.

بنتقابل وصوتنا بيعلى وبيسمع
We meet and our voices get louder and heard
وندمع وأحنا بنتألم

ويقولى أنسى وأقوله أنسانى
He tells me to forget, I tell him to humanize
ونتفارق ونوحش بعض ونتأسف
We separate and miss each other and regret it
ونقول أدينا بنتعلم
We say we learn from our mistakes
عمرنا ماهنعمل كدة تاني
We will never do this again
وأهو كل يوم على بعض بنقسى
And every day we get colder to each other
وبنمشي وناوين ع البعد
And we walk away planning to be distant
ونبص فى عين بعض بننسى

وبنمشى من غير مانسلم
And we walk away without resolving
ونبيع مش باقيين على حاجة

وبنمشى وناوين ع البعد

ونبص فى عين بعض بننسى

It's in the description, you can also find the original lyrics there
We meet up and we get loud...
Our eyes tears up while we are in pain...
He tells me to forget it and I tell him to forget me
We break apart then we miss each other and apologize
And we say that we are learning from our mistakes..
We will never ever do that again!
And everyday we get tough on each other..
We leave determining on breaking apart!
Then we look at each other's eyes and forget all about it!
Eventually we belong to each other!
We meet up and we tell each other hurtful things..
Then we leave without greeting each other!
And we decide to end our relationship!
Then we break apart and in a moment we miss each other and turn around
Then we laugh and we keep talking...
Without blaming each other about anything!
