What I Missed

شو مشتقلي (chou meshta2li)

I saw him at the corner of his house
شفتو ع مفرق بيتو
shifto 'a mafrak bayto
He didn’t talk to me, nor did I talk to him
لا حكاني ولا حكيتو
la hakani wala hakayto
But he kept staring at me
بس ضلّو يتطلع فيّي
bas dhallo yitalla' fi-yi
His eyes never left mine
عيونو ما تركت عينيّي
'ayouno ma tarakat 'ayni-yi
What I missed, I felt it
شو مشتقلي حسّيتو
shu mushtaqli hasayto

My heart still longs for him
بعدو قلبي بيحنّلو
ba'do qalbi bihannilo
I try not to see him and feel him
بجرِّب ما شوفو وحسّلو
bijarrib ma shufu w hasaylo
He wore me out, made me mad
تعّبني، زعّلني
t'a'abni, za'allni
And more than what he gave, I gave him
وأكتر ما عطاني عطيتو
wa akter ma 'atani 'ateyto

But he kept staring at me
بس ضلّو يتطلع فيّي
bas dhallo yitalla' fi-yi
His eyes never left mine
عيونو ما تركت عينيّي
'ayouno ma tarakat 'ayni-yi
What I missed, I felt it
شو مشتقلي حسّيتو
shu mushtaqli hasayto

It’s hard to stay away from him, it’s hard
صعبي إبعد عنو صعبي
sa'bi ib'ad 'ano sa'bi
He lives in me, my heart’s lost
عايش فيّي مضيّع قلبي
'ayesh fi-yi mdayyi' qalbi
He made me laugh, made me cry
ضحّكني، بكّاني
dahhakni, bakkani
And everything about him, I loved
وكل شي منّو حبيتو
w kul shi minno habayto

But he kept staring at me
بس ضلّو يتطلع فيّي
bas dhallo yitalla' fi-yi
His eyes never left mine
عيونو ما تركت عينيّي
'ayouno ma tarakat 'ayni-yi
What I missed, I felt it
شو مشتقلي حسّيتو
shu mushtaqli hasayto

I saw him at the corner of his house
شفتو ع مفرق بيتو
shifto 'a mafrak bayto
He didn’t talk to me, nor did I talk to him
لا حكاني ولا حكيتو
la hakani wala hakayto
But he kept staring at me
بس ضلّو يتطلع فيّي
bas dhallo yitalla' fi-yi
His eyes never left mine
عيونو ما تركت عينيّي
'ayouno ma tarakat 'ayni-yi
What I missed, I felt it
شو مشتقلي حسّيتو
shu mushtaqli hasayto
