اخي اخي وكاس الاخ مشروبي
الله يشغلو بالو هاللي مشغلي بالي
راح وتركلي خيالو يرافقني مثل خيالي
ماعم يغمضلي جفين وع عيني ما هو مبين
ان كانو ع غيري معين بجهنم بحرق حالي
ويلي اه ويلي يدبحني بسيفو ولا شوفو حب بدالي .
الله يشغلو بالو هاللي مشغلي بالي
راح وتركلي خيالو يرافقني مثل خيالي
ماعم يغمضلي جفين وع عيني ما هو مبين
ان كانو ع غيري معين بجنهم لا حرق حالي
ياطير الطاير قلو حواسي خمستهم فلو انا
قلبى عم يحنلو وروحي راحت للغالي .
الله يشغلو بالو ياللى شاغللى بالى
راح وتركلي خيالو يرافقني مثل خيالي
ماعم يغمضلي جفين وع عيني ما هو مبين
ان كانو ع غيري معين بجنهم لا حرق حالي
The lyrics to Najwa Karam's song Allah Yeshghellou Balou speak of a person who is deeply entranced by the memory of their departed loved one. The opening lines, "Oh ink of my eyes, wet my pages / I'm going to visit the soul of my soul that's written for me" set the tone for a highly emotional and sentimental piece. The singer is going to visit their loved one who has passed and is speaking directly to them, saying, "My brother, my brother, and the cup of brotherhood is my drink". The imagery of the cup of brotherhood suggests that the departed loved one is still present in the singer's life, even though they have passed on.
The chorus, "May Allah occupy his mind, the one who occupies my mind / he left and left his imagination with me to accompany me like my imagination / my eyes don't close, and what's in my eye is not visible / if there are others helping me, I will burn myself in hell", speaks to the singer's deep longing for their loved one. They are so consumed by thoughts of their loved one that they cannot see anything else. This sense of loss and longing is further emphasized in the verses, "He left and his ghost is still swaying in me / oh me, woe is me, he slaughtered me with his sword or what other love has he left instead of me / the flying bird said to me, my senses have faded, my heart is longing for him, and my soul has gone to my beloved".
Overall, the song is a heartbreaking tribute to a departed loved one and the deep sense of loss and longing that they leave behind.
