The lyrics of Taha/Khaled/Faudel's song "Ida" express the pain of unrequited love. The repeated phrase "chaâlti nar" (you lit a fire) emphasizes the intensity of the singer's passion and the burning desire they feel for their beloved. The verses describe the singer's confusion and desperation in the face of their unrequited love, asking whether their beloved will respond to their love or reject them. The repeated refrain of "ana fnit wach ma isabarni" (I lost control, I didn't expect it) conveys the singer's sense of being overwhelmed and powerless in the face of their emotions.
The song's use of Arabic, French, and Algerian dialect reflects the cultural diversity of the artists and demonstrates their desire to create a fusion of musical styles. The choice of lyrics, which speak to universal experiences of love and heartbreak, helps to ensure that the song resonates with audiences across cultures and languages. "Ida" was a massive hit upon its release, propelling the three artists to international fame and cementing their status as cultural icons in the Arab world.
