Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

عيني بعينك وعينك مش الي
قلبي عا قلبك ويا ريتك الي
طلاع مني شو بدك مني
لأني شتقتلك شو بقلك تأقلك
ما قلبي مبتلي

حبيتك أنا تنسيت الهنا
وخليتك انت حلمي اللي جاي

شو صار المسا توعيت بقسى وعيونك مخبايي
يا قلبي وين وين رايح وين؟
كلا كذبة الحكاية

شو ياللي بني مغرومة من سنة
وغرامي ولا جايي على بالك
شو جابك الي تاقلبي غلي
و تذبحني بدلالك
يا قلبي روح

لا تلم جروح
ودير بالك على حالك

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Einy Be Einak" by Najwa Karam speak of a tumultuous love affair between two people. The line "عيني بعينك وعينك مش الي" (my eyes in your eyes, but your eyes are not mine) suggests that the two individuals are deeply connected, but they do not share the same desires or priorities. The singer's heart yearns for the other person, hoping that they feel the same love in return, but they are not sure if their feelings are reciprocated. The line "ما قلبي مبتلي" (my heart is not afflicted) highlights the singer's struggle with their emotions and how they are trying to cope with the situation.

The verse "حبيتك أنا تنسيت الهنا وخليتك انت حلمي اللي جاي" (I loved you, I forgot happiness, and I left you my dreaming future) showcases how the singer has put all their hopes and dreams onto this one person, forgetting everything else. However, as time passes, the other person becomes distant and harsh towards them, leading the singer to question where their love stands. The line "كلا كذبة الحكاية" (the story is a lie) suggests that their love story may not have been as truthful or as real as the singer had thought.

Overall, "Einy Be Einak" speaks to the complexities of passion, heartache, and the search for meaning and connection in a world full of uncertainties.
