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.

وقفت عم بتناديك عم تندهك خليك
احكي لي إذا مش راجع حتى ما أنطر فيك
معقولي منك سامع في دمعة صوتا طالع
وقفت عم بتناديك عم تندهك خليك
احكي لي إذا مش راجع حتى ما أنطر فيك
مرت سنة وأنا يا حبيبي بمكاني
وكإنه اليوم بعدك عن عيني بكاني
مستغرب كيف ما نسيتك بها الإيام
يا حبيبي لو ما حكيتك ما بعرف نام
آه يا حبيبي لو ما حكيتك ما بعرف نام
لا تفكر يا عمري إني إذا ليلي غفيت
أنا يعني نايم متهني أو لحظة نسيت
عم جرب إضحك على حالي تا قطع وقت
آه ما بخبي عليك يا غالي عن جد تعبت
مرت سنة وأنا يا حبيبي بمكاني
وكإنه اليوم بعدك عن عيني بكاني
وكإنه اليوم بعدك عن عيني بكاني
مستغرب كيف ما نسيتك بها الإيام
يا حبيبي لو ما حكيتك ما بعرف نام
آه يا حبيبي لو ما حكيتك ما بعرف نام
معقولي منك سامع في دمعة صوتا طالع
وقفت عم بتناديك عم تندهك خليك
احكي لي إذا مش راجع حتى ما أنطر فيك
معقولي منك سامع في دمعة صوتا طالع
وقفت عم بتناديك عم تندهك خليك
احكي لي إذا مش راجع حتى ما أنطر فيك
The lyrics to Marwan Khoury's song "Marret Seni" (passed a year on me) express feelings of longing, sorrow, and desperation for a lost love. The singer describes how it has been awhile since the breakup and how he has been trying to move on. However, despite the passage of time, he still feels the pain of the separation and cannot let go of his former love. He poses questions to his ex through the song, in hopes of finding closure and answers to his lingering doubts.
The repetition of the phrase "ma'akhouli mink" (do you hear?) throughout the song is a reference to the singer hoping that his ex is aware of the pain he is feeling. This phrase is also used to convey the singer's desperation in reaching out to his ex, as he repeatedly begs for a response. The lyrics also convey the idea that the singer has been struggling to cope with the loss of his love and cannot seem to move on.
The song highlights how we often hold on to past memories and feelings despite making all efforts to move forward in life. The lyrics are beautifully crafted and delivered, and the singer's emotive voice adds depth to the song's message.

معقولي منك سامع في دمعة صوتا طالع
Do you hear my tears falling, my voice cracking?
وقفت عم بتناديك عم تندهك خليك
I'm standing here calling your name, pleading for you to stay
احكي لي إذا مش راجع حتى ما أنطر فيك
Tell me if you're not coming back, so I can stop waiting for you
مرت سنة وأنا يا حبيبي بمكاني
It's been a year and I'm still in the same place my love
وكإنه اليوم بعدك عن عيني بكاني
It feels like it was just yesterday when you left me and I'm still crying
مستغرب كيف ما نسيتك بها الإيام
I'm surprised I haven't forgotten you over time
يا حبيبي لو ما حكيتك ما بعرف نام
My love, if I didn't talk to you, I wouldn't be able to sleep
لا تفكر يا عمري إني إذا ليلي غفيت
Don't think that if I fall asleep at night,
أنا يعني نايم متهني أو لحظة نسيت
It means I'm peacefully sleeping or I briefly forgot
عم جرب إضحك على حالي تا قطع وقت
I'm trying to make myself laugh so time goes by faster
آه ما بخبي عليك يا غالي عن جد تعبت
Oh, I'm not hiding it from you my love, I'm really tired

معقولي منّك سامع، في دمعة صوتا طالع!
وقفت عم بتناديك، عم تندهك خليك!
حكيلي اذا مش راجع حتى ما انطر فيك
مرت سنة وانا ياحبيبي بمكاني
وكإنو اليوم بعدك عن عيني بكّاني
مستغرب كيف مانسيتك بهالإيام!!
ياحبيبي لو ما حكيتك ما بعرف نام
لا تفكر ياعمري اني اذا ليلي غفيت
انا يعني نايم متهني، أو لحظة نسيت!
عم جرّب اضحك على حالي، ت قطّع وقت
مابخبي عليك يا غالي، عن جد تعبت
مرت سنة وانا ياحبيبي بمكاني
وكإنو اليوم بعدك عن عيني بكّاني
مستغرب كيف مانسيتك بهالإيام

Could it be actually possible that you can't hear
the seeping sound of a tear
that has halted to call upon you
It is calling you: Stay!
Tell me if you're not coming back
so that I wouldn't wait for you
A year passed
And I'm still frozen in my place
It's as if it's just today
that your separation brought tears to my eyes
It surprises me how I haven't forgotten you
in all those days
Oh darling, If I don't speak to you
I can't sleep
Oh darling, don't you ever think that
if I fell asleep for a night
that I am sleeping in bliss
or that I forgot [you/everything] for a moment.
I'm trying to lie to myself
just to kill time
Oh precious, to be honest with you
I've really grown weary
Magnifique 💓

مرت سنة فعلا، لكن تركتك وراءي كباب مغلق، كسحابة مرت دون أن تترك أثر..
أغنية مروان رائعة لمن لازال يحمل في داخله ذلك الشوق للبعيد
