Najwa Karam Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
كرمالك عايش أنا
شو كنت تقلى
بغرامك دايب أنا
كلامك وين
و غرامك وين
شو غيرك . قللى
بيطير النوم
بتذكر كيف كنا مبارح
و كيف صرنا اليوم
غلطان و مابتسأل عنى
و بكلمة ما بتطمنى
و بتزيد اللوم
بعدا بعينيى نظراتك
مابتنتسى
كانت حنونى كلماتك
ليش الاسى
قلبى موعود
لعندى تعود
شو بيمنعك . قللى
طمنى عنك مشتاقه
مشتاقه لييك
الفرقة شو صعبة و حراقة
وحياة عينيك
لو ما من قلبى إشتقتلك
صدقنى ما حنيتلك
و لا عتبت عليك
The lyrics of Najwa Karam's song "Sho Kent Teelli" (What Did You Used to Tell Me) speak about the pain of separation and the longing for a lost love. The singer addresses her former lover, asking him what he used to tell her and why he has gone away. She says that she is living for him, and her love for him is still deep. However, he is no longer there to console her and she feels lost without him.
The singer reminisces about their past and how they used to be together. She mentions that his words used to bring her comfort and peace, and memories of him keep her up at night. She is hurt that he does not ask about her anymore and his words do not make her feel reassured, but rather they increase her feelings of blame.
Despite everything, the singer cannot forget her love for him. She remembers the way he used to look at her and the tender words he spoke, and wonders why their relationship had to end. The singer pleads with him to reassure her and tell her how he feels, for she misses him deeply.

شو كنت تقلى
What were you saying to me?
كرمالك عايش أنا
I am living for you.
شو كنت تقلى
What were you saying to me?
بغرامك دايب أنا
I am lost in your love.
كلامك وين
Where is your talk?
و غرامك وين
Where is your love?
شو غيرك . قللى
Tell me, who else is there?
كل ما بتذكر كلماتك
Every time I remember your words,
بيطير النوم
sleep flies away.
بتذكر كيف كنا مبارح
I remember how we were yesterday,
و كيف صرنا اليوم
and how we became today.
غلطان و مابتسأل عنى
You are wrong and you do not ask about me.
و بكلمة ما بتطمنى
And with a word, you do not reassure me.
و بتزيد اللوم
And you increase the blame.
بعدا بعينيى نظراتك
Your looks in my eyes later on,
مابتنتسى
I do not forget.
كانت حنونى كلماتك
Your words were affectionate.
ليش الاسى
Why the sadness?
قلبى موعود
My heart is promised,
لعندى تعود
Until you return to me.
شو بيمنعك . قللى
What is stopping you? Tell me.
طمنى عنك مشتاقه
I miss you, tell me about you.
مشتاقه لييك
I miss you.
الفرقة شو صعبة و حراقة
The separation is so difficult and burning.
وحياة عينيك
And life of your eyes.
لو ما من قلبى إشتقتلك
If I did not miss you from my heart,
صدقنى ما حنيتلك
Believe me, I would not have longed for you.
و لا عتبت عليك
And I would not have blamed you.
