Nawal began singing at an early age, despite familial opposition to the lifestyle of a musician (her family changed their minds when they realized she was serious in her ambitions). She is influenced by the work of pioneering Arab singers such as Egypt's Om Kalthoum.
Nawal started her singing career after participating in Studio El Fan in 1988, she became a professional singer in 1991. Al-Zoghbi released her debut album titled "Wehyati Andak" in 1992, when she returned to her birth city, Beirut, after a two-year singing sojourn in the Gulf countries. Since that time, she has released seven other albums, each proving popular in the Arab world. Nawal takes herself seriously though, and has made it her business to develop extensive knowledge about what's happening within the Arabic music scene.
Controversies happened around 1998 when Al-Zoghbi released her album and single titled Mandam Aleik. The song was originally sung by Syrian singer Houwaida. It was a huge success to Houwaida, but a while later Al-Zoghbi released the album with her version of the song. When inquired about allegations of taking Houwaida's debut song, Al-Zoghbi claimed she had the song for a while and recorded it prior to Houwaida's release. On television interviews, she showed papers showing lyrics of the song claiming that these are the originals and that Houwaida took it from her.
When Houwaida was interviewed about the whole matter, she stressed out that she was preparing for the release of the song before Al-Zoghbi as it was her debut single. Houwaida was said to be more calm about the matter, and mostly asked God to forgive Al Zoghbi for such act. But this didn't affect the career of Houwaida, as she pursued and got quite successful in the Pan Arab media. The song is available on both singers' records and they got their share of popularity mostly after the conflict.
Her album Maloum which was released back in 1999 is believed to be her biggest failure throughout her recording career. As the low selling figures of the album, Al-Zoghbi herself declared regret to rush and release it since the previous one, Mandam Aleik, was released a year earlier.
In 2002, Nawal cooperated with music video director Sherif Sabri to come out with a new look for her song Elli Tmaneito. After airing teasers on Egyptian satellite channel, Dream TV. After full broadcast, Al Zoghbi worked hard on promoting the album by appearing in several TV channels, printed media and more.
Nawal's next album was to appear 2 years after the release of Elli Tmaneito. The name of this eagerly anticipated album was Eineik Kaddabeen. This album was accompanied by two music videos: Eineik Kaddabeen and Bi'einek. After promoting this album, Nawal then began work on her most recent album Yama Alou. She first released the single Rohi Ya Rohi in August 2005. Her first live performance of this was at a concert she held in the Hammersmith Apollo, London. She also made a music video for this song. The next single to be released from Yama Alou was Shou Akhbarak. This was released February/March of 2006. She also filmed a music video for this.
Nawal has released a song dedicated to Palestine called "Ya Quds" (O, Jerusalem).
Nawal participated in a patriotic song called "Ya Omati" with many other Arabic singers. She also recorded a song called "Hikayt Watan" with a number of Lebanese singers for the liberation of south Lebanon. As well as the song "La Ma Kholsit Le Hkayeh" after the death of Rafic Hariri.

Nawal al zoghbi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ع السكت، و قتها وما حكي
قالي شي، أي شي
كان أهون عليّ كثير
ما بده، يسمعني حكي
يجرح، إزعل أو إشتكي
ويلمح بعيوني بكي
ما بده يجرحني
فكره بيريحني
أو فكره يفرحني أناني
قاسي لكن عنده ضمير
أي دمعه وأي نار
أي همه شو ما صار
أهون عندي يطل نهار
و ما إقدر أحكيلو
يا ريته، بيكذب و يظل
أحلى ما يصدق ويفل
و لا أشعر لحظه بيمل
وحبي ما بيعنيله
يا ريته، بكلمه قسي
عليّ، أو بكلمه نسي
يا زورق ما عمره رسي
يا بحر وما عندو غريق
تركني ومشي ع الهدا
كأنه ما ودع حدا
يا صوت اللي ما رجع صدا
يا رحله وما إلها طريق
إبقى حد ما بدو
بدو يبقى لوحدو
يجرح قلبي بورد أناني
يمحي عمري ومني برىء
أي دمعه وأي نار
أي همه شو ما صار
أهون عندي يطل نهار
و ما إقدر أحكيلو
يا ريته بيكذب و يظل
أحلى ما يصدق ويفل

Nawal al zoghbi's song Yawm Elly Meshy talks about a painful breakup and the longing for the ex-partner to come back and lie that they didn't leave. The singer wishes that her ex-partner had lied to her on the day he left, saying that anything he could have said would have been better than leaving without a single word. She goes on to explain that she doesn't want him to listen to her talk or complain because she doesn't want to be hurt anymore; she just wants him to lie and tell her that everything is okay, even if it isn't. She accepts that her ex-partner is selfish and cruel, but still wishes he'd come back and give her some comfort.
Throughout the song, the singer describes the pain that the breakup has caused her. She talks about her tears, her sadness, and the fact that she can't tell her ex-partner how much she's hurting. Despite all of this pain, she still wishes he'd come back and lie to her, a bittersweet wish that shows just how much she's been affected by the breakup.

يا ريته، يوم اللي مشي
I wish that day when he walked away
ع السكت، و قتها وما حكي
On the pavement, without saying a word
قالي شي، أي شي
He said anything, anything at all
كان أهون عليّ كثير
It would have been easier for me
ما بده، يسمعني حكي
He doesn't want to hear me speak
يجرح، إزعل أو إشتكي
He hurts me, makes me angry or complain
ويلمح بعيوني بكي
And hints with his eyes that he cries
ما هو طول عمره كبير
He's not old his whole life
ما بده يجرحني
He doesn't want to hurt me
فكره بيريحني
Just the thought of him would relieve me
أو فكره يفرحني أناني
Or the thought of him making me happy, selfishly
قاسي لكن عنده ضمير
He's cruel but has a conscience
أي دمعه وأي نار
Any tear, any fire
أي همه شو ما صار
Any worry, no matter what happens
أهون عندي يطل نهار
It'd be easier for me to wait for the day
و ما إقدر أحكيلو
And I can't tell him
يا ريته، بيكذب و يظل
I wish he lied and stayed
أحلى ما يصدق ويفل
The best thing is that he believes it and fades away
ولا أشعر لحظه بيمل
And I don't feel bored for a moment
وحبي ما بيعنيله
And my love doesn't affect him
يا زورق ما عمره رسي
Oh boat that never docks
يا بحر وما عندو غريق
Oh sea with no drowning person
تركني ومشي ع الهدا
He left me and walked into the quietness
كأنه ما ودع حدا
As if he didn't say goodbye to anyone
يا صوت اللي ما رجع صدا
Oh voice that didn't echo back
يا رحله وما إلها طريق
Oh journey that has no destination
إبقى حد ما بدو
Stay as long as you like
بدو يبقى لوحدو
If he wants to be alone
يجرح قلبي بورد أناني
He hurts my heart, and is selfish
يمحي عمري ومني برىء
He erases my age and leaves me innocent
أهون عندي يطل نهار
It'd be easier for me to wait for the day
يا ريته بيكذب و يظل
I wish he lied and stayed
أحلى ما يصدق ويفل
The best thing is that he believes it and fades away
ولا أشعر لحظه بيمل
And I don't feel bored for a moment
وحبي ما بيعنيله
And my love doesn't affect him
يا ريته، بيكذب و يظل
I wish he lied and stayed
أحلى ما يصدق ويفل
The best thing is that he believes it and fades away
ولا أشعر لحظه بيمل
And I don't feel bored for a moment
وحبي ما بيعنيله
And my love doesn't affect him
أي دمعه وأي نار
Any tear, any fire
أهون عندي يطل نهار
It'd be easier for me to wait for the day
و ما إقدر أحكيلو
And I can't tell him
يا ريته، بيكذب و يظل
I wish he lied and stayed
أحلى ما يصدق ويفل
The best thing is that he believes it and fades away
ولا أشعر لحظه بيمل
And I don't feel bored for a moment
وحبي ما بيعنيله
And my love doesn't affect him
يا ريته، و لا أشعر لحظه بيمل
I wish I didn't feel bored for a moment
وحبي ما بيعنيله
And my love doesn't affect him
