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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
على قد ماشافت عينى
أنت اللى ملكت حنينى
كان نفسى أقول ياحبيبى
خبينى م الناس خبينى
كل الناس بيقولوا عاشقة
والغرام والحيرة دية
من شوقى وهوايا
وألاقيك ياحبيبى أنت غايب مش معايا
ـــــــــــــــــ
أنا مش محتاجة لغيرك
أنا عايزاك أنت معايا
أنا عايشة فى حبك وأنت
مش حاسس إية جوايا
كل الناس بيقولوا عاشقة
شافوا إية جوايا
والغرام والحيرة دية
من شوقى وهوايا
وألاقيك ياحبيبى أنت غايب مش معايا

على قد ماشافت عينى
As much as my eyes have seen
أنت اللى ملكت حنينى
You are the one who owns my longing
كان نفسى أقول ياحبيبى
I wanted to say 'my love'
خبينى م الناس خبينى
Hide me from the people, hide me
كل الناس بيقولوا عاشقة
Everyone says I'm in love
شافوا إية جوايا
They saw something inside of me
والغرام والحيرة دية
This love and confusion
من شوقى وهوايا
From my longing and desires
وألاقيك ياحبيبى أنت غايب مش معايا
And I find you, my love, absent, not with me
أنا مش محتاجة لغيرك
I don't need anyone else
أنا عايزاك أنت معايا
I want you to be with me
أنا عايشة فى حبك وأنت
I'm living in your love and you
مش حاسس إية جوايا
I don't feel anything inside of me
