Maryam Saleh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
فاذا استُهلِكنا لا نحتج
ونطس دماغنا في الحيطة
فستثمر يوماً شكاليطة
ولا ينقم فردٌ حاكمه
ولا تزعل نيرمين من تيته
وان خلص القرش متتخانقوش
ويا أجرة يا نقل يا أجرة يا نقل
ويا أجرة يا نقل يا أجرة يا نقل
ونعم للحاج وبركة يا حاج
فاذا بالحاج يبقششنا
خمر ونساء خمر ونساء
فنحب جلال ونحب ألاء
ولا ينقم فردُ حاكمه
ولا تزعل نيرمين من تيته
كلمات: ميدو زهير
The lyrics of Maryam Saleh's song Watan el Akk (عك) are calling for love and respect for one's homeland - a seemingly simple message that hides a deeper meaning. The first verse underscores the importance of loving one's country, so much so that if it were to deteriorate, there would be no need for complaint. The singer then goes on to say that one should not censor their thoughts or opinions, or else they risk stagnation. The lyrics mention the idea of taking risks and investing in one's self, with the hope that one day the investments will pay dividends.
The second verse talks about the importance of respecting authority without having to fear it. The name "Nirmin" may be a reference to the actress Nirmin al-Fakkhar, who was known for her bold opinions about politics and society. The lyrics encourage a sense of community and togetherness, calling for people not to fight when they run out of money or blame each other for their problems. Lastly, the song makes mention of taxi drivers and how they connect people with the world around them.
