Listen to me
(I highly recommend checking this website to find out about history of this song: https://www.sharqidance.com/blog/esmaouni , and this Youtube video for the exact line-by-line translation of Safaa Farid's version of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ph4Q78T9WKo )
Listen to me
What do I say…listen to me
Let’s forget what happened in the past
Forget together the trickery of the time
Listen to me
What do you think?
What do you say?
It’s a shame and a thousand shames
But what should I do
In one night they met him, talked to him, asked him
Asked him about my name, asked him about my love
He said I don’t know him, didn’t meet him, didn’t see him, didn’t love him
As if he doesn’t remember us, neither the love between us
And our days together
What did he say to you…don’t be shocked
No one today remembers anything
