الحياة

شرِبت من أكوابها صبابةً حتى الملل
وعشتُ في عذابها كآبةً لا تُحتمل
شرِبت من أكوابها صبابةً حتى الملل
وعشتُ في عذابها كآبةً لا تُحتمل
باركتُها في غدرَها (آه) ولم أفارِق الأمل آه (آه)
قاومتها في مكرها من حكَّم العقل وصل
من لم يُفق من وهمه فعن أساه لا تَسَلْ
صارت حياته عدم، صارت همومه جبل
إشرب لوحدك الأسى وذُق مرارةَ الفشل
إن لم نقاوِمْ ضَعفَنا ليس لنا فيها محل
هيَّ الحياةُ هكذا، هيَّ الحياةُ هكذا
هيَّ الحياةُ هكذا، هيَّ الحياةُ هكذا
ذا طبعُها منذ الأزل
كم أغلقتْ أبوابها
كم هجَّرتْ أصحابها
كم أغلقتْ أبوابها
كم هجَّرتْ أصحابها
أحزانها لا تنتهي أفراحها لا تُكتَمل
كم من قتيل في الهوى
قبَّلَ كفَّيْ من قَتَل
هيَّ الحياة (هيَّ الحياةُ)
هيَّ الحياةُ (هيَّ الحياةُ)
هيَّ الحياةُ هكذا
أما أنا أحبَّتي عزَّت عليَّ حالتي
عزَّت عليَّ عزَّت عليَ حالتي
أما أنا أحبَّتي عزَّت عليَّ حالتي
عزَّت عليَّ عزَّت عليَ حالتي
وكيف ضاعت حِكمتي وَجاهتي وهَيبتي
كيف ضاعت حِكمتي وَجاهتي وهَيبتي
حكايتي مع التي كانت لأيامي مَثل
حكايتي مع التي كانت لأيامي مَثل
أحببتُها (آه) أدمنُتها (آه)
أشتاقُها ولم أزل
أحببتُها (آه) أدمنُتها (آه)
أشتاقُها ولم أزل
قسَت، تمادت، إفترت
باعت فؤادي وإختفت
رمتني داست أضلعي
والغِلُّ في صدري إشتعل
أقسمت لن أحبَّها
فالحب من عيني نزَل
قلبٌ تمادى قسوةً
طغى، تجاوزَ، إستغل
لا أبتغي وصالَه
حاشى لقلبي أن يُذَل
لا أبتغي وصالَه
حاشى لقلبي أن يُذَل
عاف الليالي الليالي والسهر
أخلى الكؤوس وإعتزل
عاف الليالي الليالي والسهر
كسر الكؤوس وإعتزل
هيَّ الحياةُ هكذا، هيَّ الحياةُ هكذا
هيَّ هيَّ الحياةُ هكذا، هيَّ الحياةُ هكذا
ذا طبعها منذ الازل
كم من قتيل في الهوى
قبَّلَ كفَّيْ من قَتَل
هيَّ الحياة (هيَّ الحياة)
هيَّ الحياة (هيَّ الحياة)
هيَّ الحياة هكذا
خذل الفؤاد موقفي
يوم اللقاء وإحتفل
خذل الفؤاد موقفي
يوم اللقاء وإحتفل
طارت به سماؤه
نسي العذاب نسي العذاب
طارت به سماؤه
نسي العذاب نسي العذاب والزعل
صارت شكايتي رضا
صارت ملامتي غزل
صارت شكايتي رضا
صارت ملامتي غزل
من فرحتي من لهفتي
بُست الجبينَ والمقل
كأنَّه العمرُ إبتدى
كانَّه شهرُ العسل
كأنَّه العمرُ إبتدى
كانَّه شهرُ العسل
كيف كيف كيف إستباحت هَيبتي
وأنت تُهديها قُبَل
أهذه نهايتي
يا قلب خيَّبت الأمل
كيف إستباحت هَيبتي
وأنت تُهديها قُبَل
أهذه نهايتي
يا قلب خيَّبت الأمل
فالحبُّ أعمى لا يرى
ما في الحبيبِ من عِلل
فالحبُّ أعمى لا يرى
ما في الحبيبِ من عِلل
هيَّ الحياةُ هكذا، هيَّ الحياةُ هكذا
هيَّ الحياةُ هكذا، هيَّ الحياةُ هكذا
ذا طبعها منذ الازل
كم من قتيل في الهوى
قبَّلَ كفَّيْ من قَتَل
هيَّ الحياة (هيَّ الحياة)
هيَّ الحياة (هيَّ الحياة)
هيَّ الحياة هكذا
 
Translation

Life

I drank deeply from her cups until I was full
And I lived in her torment, an unbearable suffering
I drank deeply from her cups until I was full
And I lived in her torment, an unbearable suffering
I congratulated her on her betrayal (oh) and I couldn't abandon hope (oh)
I resisted her temptation until the strength of my mind arrived
Don't ask about the griefs of those that can't let go of their delusions
His life became barren, his worries became a mountain
Drink that grief alone and taste the bitterness of failure
If we can't conquer our weaknesses, we don't deserve a place here
That's life as it is, that's life as it is1
That's life as it is, that's life as it is
That's how she's always been
Oh, how many doors she's closed
Oh, how many friends she's abandoned
Oh, how many doors she's closed
Oh, how many friends she's abandoned
Her sorrows are endless, her joys are incomplete
Oh, how many died from passion
Kiss the palm of those that killed
That's life (that's life)
That's life (that's life)
That's life as it is
As for me, she loved me, she blessed my world
Blessed me, blessed my world
As for me, she loved me, she blessed my world
Blessed me, blessed my world
And I lost my wisdom, my honour, my dignity
And I lost my wisdom, my honour, my dignity
My story with she who I spent my days is
My story with she who I spent my days is:
I loved her (oh) I obsessed over her (oh)
I yearned for her and I still couldn't
I loved her (oh) I obsessed over her (oh)
I yearned for her and I still couldn't
She was harsh, she never let up, she ruined
She sold my heart and disappeared
She threw me away, stepped on my ribs
And the bitterness in my chest ignited
I swore to never love her
And so love poured out of my eyes
A heart turned hard
It overwhelmed, it transgressed, it revenged
I refused to call out
As it might disgrace my heart
I refused to call out
As it might disgrace my heart
It has grown sick of all the nights, nights, late nights
It emptied the cups and retreated
It has grown sick of all the nights, nights, late nights
It broke the cups and retreated
That's life as it is, that's life as it is
That's life as it is, that's life as it is
That's how she's always been
Oh, how many died from passion
Kiss the palm of those that killed
That's life (that's life)
That's life (that's life)
That's life as it is
My heart left its position
The day of the meeting and rejoiced
My heart left its position
The day of the meeting and rejoiced
It flew through the skies
It forgot all the suffering, forgot all the suffering
It flew through the skies
It forgot all the suffering, forgot all the suffering and sorrows
My complaints gave way to satisfaction
My worries dissipated
My complaints gave way to satisfaction
My worries dissipated
From my happiness, from my excitement
I kissed her forehead and eyelids
It was as if life had just begun
It was as if it was a honeymoon
It was as if life had just begun
It was as if it was a honeymoon
Oh, how, how, how my dignity was restored
And you gift her kisses
Is this my ending?
Oh, heart, we can hope now
Oh, how my dignity was restored
And you gift her kisses
Is this my ending?
Oh, heart, we can hope now
For love is blind
I can see no faults in my lover
For love is blind
I can see no faults in my lover
That's life as it is, that's life as it is
That's life as it is, that's life as it is
That's how she's always been
Oh, how many died from passion
Kiss the palm of those that killed
That's life (that's life)
That's life (that's life)
That's life as it is
