Mashrou' Leila - Bint Elkhandaq

هون عندك حياتك
وعندك كل عاداتك
وكبرتي كأن الإحساس بالغربة اتولد معك
بطال يساعك بجلدك
ولا بيساع احلامك
خيفانة تنامي سنين
وتوعي وبعدك بنت بيّك

تخنوه ايه
ما طال عمره بيخونكم
تبعوه ايه
ماطال عمره بيبيعكم
لما التربى مالحة ليش عم نزرع وعود
قومي يا اختي سوقي فينا عالمكينة بلا منعود
بكرا منعود

امك قالتك عادي
قال بكرا بتتعودي
وبتحكي مع العالم حولك بس بعدك وحيده
والحق يقال جربتي
ولا مرة هربتي
وبقيتي بالخندق
بالخندق العميق حاربتي

تخنوه ايه
ما طال عمره بيخونكم
تبعوه ايه
ما طال عمره بيبيعكم
لما التربى مالحة ليش عم نزرع وعود
قومي يا اختي سوقي فينا عالمكينة بلا منعود

لما التربى مالحة ليش عم نزرع وعود
قومي يا اختي سوقي فينا عالمكينة بلا منعود
بكرا منعود
بلا منعود
بكرا منعود
بلا منعود

Tłumaczenie angielskie:

The girl of the ditch*

Here you have your life
And you have all your habits
You've grown up as if the feeling of alienation has born with you
Your skin doesn't fit you anymore
Nor fit your dreams
You are afraid to sleep for years
You're waking up and you still your daddy's girl

What "betraying him"?
While he has been betraying you all his life
What "Selling him out" ?
While he has been selling you out all his life 1
If the soil is salty, why do we plant promises
Get up sister, drive us and let's never come back
Tomorrow we will be back

Your mom told you that's okay
Tomorrow you will get used to it
And you're talking with the world around you but you're still lonely
And to be honest, you've never tried
To run away
And you stayed in the ditch
In the deep ditch, fighting it.

What "betraying him"?
While he has been betraying you all his life
What "Selling him out" ?
While he has been selling you out all his life
If the soil is salty, why do we plant promises
Get up sister, drive the vehicle and let's never come back
Tomorrow we will be back

If the soil is salty, why do we plant promises
Get up sister, drive the vehicle and let's never come back
Tomorrow we will be back
Tomorrow we will be back
Tomorrow we will be back
Tomorrow we will be back

* It probably means that she no longer cares about her homeland or leaving it because she feels like it has always abandoned her
