Macadi Nahhas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
انتا صرت واحد منا
مرة كنا و ما جيت. جيت مرة و ما كنا
تعا نسهر بكرا عنا
انتا صرت واحد منا
مرة كنا و ما جيت. جيت مرة و ما كنا
تعا نسهر في عنا سطوح
كلن كم ساعة و بتروح
كلن كم ساعة و بتروح
في نبيد و شمعة و موسيقى
و الكرسي الخشب العتيقة
والكرسي الخشب العتيقة.والليل شو اطول عنا
تعا نسهر بكرا عنا
انتا صرت واحد منا
مرة كنا و ما جيت. جيت مرة و ما كنا
تعا بكرا و خبرني خبار
عن اهلك نفس الأخبار
حكيولي انك وحيد
و ممشي كلشي من بعيد
تعا بكرا و أكدلي أكيد
انك بكرا بتسهر عنا
تعا نسهر بكرا عنا
انتا صرت واحد منا
مرة كنا و ما جيت. جيت مرة و ما كنا
The lyrics of Macadi Nahhas’s song Ta’a Nishar are about spending a night together with friends on a rooftop, reminiscing about the past and enjoying the present moment. The song starts with an invitation to stay up all night and spend the next day with each other. The singer addresses someone who has become “one of us” and invites them to join the group. The next lines reflect on the fact that the group has changed over time, people have come and gone, but the spirit of the gathering remains the same.
The chorus repeats the invitation to stay up all night, this time on a rooftop. The group will have candles, music, and an old wooden chair. The night seems long and full of possibilities. The last verse has a somber note, as the singer is told that the invited person is alone and distant from their family. The singer insists on the importance of joining the group and celebrating life together.
Overall, the song invites listeners to embrace their friendships, cherish the moment, and find solace and joy in each other's company. It also emphasizes the power of shared experiences in creating a sense of belonging and community.
