عاندت فيك [Anadet Feek] [English translation]

I fought against everyone for your sake

And I became stubborn

I wouldn’t listen to what they’d say about you

I lost everyone

Because of you, ungrateful* one

Until the axe hit the head (i.e. it became too late)

Because of you, because of you**

They told me that you love tragedies

And that you betray the heart (that loves you), and that disloyalty is your art

They said, and repeated, and they provoked my senses (i.e. provoked me)

How often have they told me this and that about you

Oh, you whose existence in my life is essential,

Think before you disappear because you’ve

Become everyone to me, cruel one

And what if I’m disappointed in you?

You won’t be disappointed.
