in 2008.
In 1986, Marwan enrolled in the University of Saint Espirit Kasslik in Lebanon. He studied piano and harmony there and during his university years, and he won a prize in a music composition contest. The award was presented to the singer by former Lebanese President Amin Joumayel in the following year. In 1988, Marwan produced his very first album Asak Habibi depending solely on himself in writing the lyrics and composing the songs, and of course producing it. The album was not that big of a hit unfortunately.
Marwan started a new phase in his life in 1989, but not as a singer. He performed in various variety shows, such as Aghani Aghani and Studio Al-Fan, on the keyboard. He continued as a keyboard player till 1996 and played with many famous bands; like Sabah's band. But during that period, Marwan was able to come up with a single, Fik Yamma Balak. It was released in 1994 and established he as a talented singer. He then went on to lead Wael Kfoury's band as well as other famous Lebanese singers as before. This gave Khoury the chance to see the world and go on tour as a conductor. In 1997 he wrote, composed and performed his second single Lasbor Ala Wela. It was not until 1999 however that Marwan finally became known in the music industry as a writer/composer. He came up with two hit songs for Nawal Al Zoghbi Tia and Dalouna. Then the year 2001 came along and with it Marwan launched his first official album Khayal El-Omr. The very next year, Khoury shot his first video clip Ya Shog with director Bassem Christo. In 2003, the singer got his first recognition as a talented composer and was awarded Murex D'Or as the best composer.
In 2004, Marwan reached his milestone. He landed a five-year contract with a major production company, Rotana. He then released his second solo album Kel El Asayed in May of that year. The album and the title song were a big hit and their popularity spread fast. It was this album that actually made Marwan famous in the Arab world and in Egypt. To further the success he had achieved, Marwan released a video for the title song of his album the following month. The video was directed by his brother, Claude Khoury. Marwan released another hit album in 2005, Asr El Shawq. His latest album, Ana wl Leil , was released in 2008.
El Garar
Marwan Khoury Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ولا وقت اللى ببعد عنك بتهون لجراح
يا هالقلب اللى حبك مكسور جناح
لا قادر طير وعلى ولا عمرى بايدك خلى
ياريت بيوعى قلبى يوم ناسى كل اللى كان
ويغرقنى هالنوم ببحور من النسيان
حبك خلانى صير دنيا من الاحزان
ياريت بيعرف قلبى يريد مره ويملك قرار
حبك هدمنى كتير ومش قادر اختار
شو بكره حالى ابقى بالشوق مسجون
شو بفكر تا ما اشقى مرات مانكون
يا هالكلمه عالورقه ويمحيها جنون
كل مافكر راح قلك بلاقى حالى اشتقتلك
The lyrics of Marwan Khoury's song "El Garar" are a plea from a broken-hearted lover who is torn between being with their loved one and dealing with the pain that comes with being away from them. The song starts by saying that there is no time when they are truly at ease, either when they are alone or when they are apart from their beloved. The heart that once soared with love is now broken, unable to fly or touch the sky anymore. There is a hope that someday they will forget all the pain and longing that came with loving their partner, and that they could find solace and sleep peacefully again. The love that once made them feel alive has become their greatest sorrow. The singer wishes they could find the strength to move on and leave the destruction behind, to meet a new person who will value and cherish them. But the pain is just too much to bear, and every thought leads them back to the one they miss so dearly.
The lyrics of "El Garar" speak to anyone who has ever felt the bittersweet pain of being in love, the intensity of the longing that comes with it, and the feeling of being lost without the person they love. The writer captures the raw emotions of love and heartbreak, and how the two are inextricably intertwined. The song is a reminder that love is not always easy or beautiful, but it is real and worth fighting for.

لا وقت اللى ببقى حدك عم كون مرتاح
There's no time when I am alone with you and feel at ease
ولا وقت اللى ببعد عنك بتهون لجراح
Nor is there any time when I am away from you and it doesn't hurt
يا هالقلب اللى حبك مكسور جناح
Oh, this heart whose love for you has broken its wings
لا قادر طير وعلى ولا عمرى بايدك خلى
I cannot fly anymore, and I am in your hands forever
ياريت بيوعى قلبى يوم ناسى كل اللى كان
I wish my heart would awaken one day and forget all that has passed
ويغرقنى هالنوم ببحور من النسيان
And drown me in the seas of forgetfulness in my sleep
حبك خلانى صير دنيا من الاحزان
Your love made me become a world of sorrows
ياريت بيعرف قلبى يريد مره ويملك قرار
I wish my heart would know what it wants and take control
عمر انسان جديد واترك خلفى الدمار
To start a new life as a new person and leave the destruction behind me
حبك هدمنى كتير ومش قادر اختار
Your love has destroyed me so much, and I can't choose anymore
شو بكره حالى ابقى بالشوق مسجون
What will become of me? I will remain imprisoned in longing
شو بفكر تا ما اشقى مرات مانكون
What should I think, as sometimes when we are unhappy, we are not together
يا هالكلمه عالورقه ويمحيها جنون
Oh, this word on paper, and my madness erases it
كل مافكر راح قلك بلاقى حالى اشتقتلك
Every time I think about it, I will tell you that I miss you

La décision
Ni au moment d'être à coté de toi, je suis à l'aise
Ni au moment d'être loin de toi, mes blessures vont mieux
Oh ce coeur qui t'a aimé est brisé
je ne peux pas voler et jamais je reste dans tes mains
(x2)
Si seulement mon coeur et a oublié tout ce qui était
Et ce sommeil me noie dans les mers de l'oubli
Ton amour m'a fait devenir un monde de tristesse
Si seulement mon coeur sait vouloir et pour une fois rend une décision
Construire une nouvelle personne et de laisser derrière moi cette destruction
Ton amour m'a détruit beaucoup et je ne peux pas choisir
Je me déteste quand je suis emprisonné par le désir
je pense que je souffre pas quand nous sommes ensemble
Ceux que sont des paroles sur papier effacé par la folie
A chaque fois que je pense à tu dire, je me trouve envie de te voir.
