لا تتعب قلبك يا قلبي . ما في شي بيتغـير
بــتـقـلو أبـيـض . بــيقـلـك أســود
بــتــقـلـوا قـرب بـتـشـوفو عنك عم يبعد
هـيـدي أطـباعـو وبـعـمـرو مـش رح يتغير
عـــالـم حـبـونا . وعــالـم بـاعـونا
وعالم من قبل ما ننسى كانو نسيونا
منمرق مشوار وفي نهار بيخلص مشوارا
لا تـتـعـب تـاتـغـيـر فـيهـا مـش رح تتغير
لا تـشـغـل بـالـك . وتـضـحـك عـلى حـالـك
مـا في غـير حبو سبحـانو وحدو بيبقـالـك
الـلـي كـانـو حبابك . أو عز صحـابك
لـو باعـو العشري ما تزعل من يللي صابك
الــ زغـير بـطبـعـو مـا بيكبر بيضللو زغير
The song "Ma Fi Shea' Byetghayar" by Walid Toufic is a beautiful composition about the perception of change in life. The repeated phrase "Ma Fi Shea' Byetghayar" translates into "Nothing Changes". The song suggests that nothing in life will ever change, and we shouldn't stress over something that isn't going to happen. Instead, we should just accept things as they are and move forward in life.
The lyrics further mention how people often change their behavior towards us over time. They may appear to be good and honest people, but in reality, they are hiding something. In life, we often meet people who we think are our friends, but over time, they slowly drift away until we forget about them completely. The song highlights how life is transient, and people come and go but we should not let it affect us.
