Khilis il Haki
Macadi Nahhas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ما في اشي .و ما في بشر بيستاهل قهر...
ما في حدا ع وجه هالارض .مقّدر ع التاني قدر
خلص الحكي قومي اضحكي.لا تحزني و تتلبكي
خلص الحكي قومي اضحكي.لا تحزني و تتلبكي
ع دني ارسمتا و ما الها الوان.ع سنين طفيتا هون و هووون.
ع العمر اللي يمكن مجنون.خلص الحكي.قومي اضحكي.لا تحزني و تتلبكي .
خلص الحكي.ليش الحزن .ع مين البكي
ما في اشي .و ما في بشر بيستاهل قهر...
ما في حدا ع وجه هالارض .مقّدر ع التاني قدر
خلص الحكي قومي اضحكي.لا تحزني و تتلبكي
خلص الحكي قومي اضحكي.لا تحزني و تتلبكي
The lyrics of the song Khilis il Haki by Macadi Nahhas convey a message of hope and encouragement to those facing difficult times. The first verse asks why we should feel sad and who deserves our tears when there is nothing in this world worth being upset over. It reminds us that no one on this earth is better than anyone else, and we should not take pleasure in anyone's suffering. Therefore, the song advises us to stop talking and start smiling, as there is no point in dwelling on the past or worrying about the future.
The second verse describes the fragility of life and how fleeting it can be. The singer states that life is like a drawing that has no color, and it is up to us to paint it with our experiences. Despite the madness of life, the song encourages us to keep smiling and not to let sorrow and confusion take over.
Overall, the song provides a message of hope and urges listeners to be resilient in the face of hardships, no matter how difficult they may seem.
