What I Missed

Wael Kfoury

شو مشتقلي (chou meshta2li)

شفتو ع مفرق بيتو
shifto 'a mafrak bayto
لا حكاني ولا حكيتو
la hakani wala hakayto
بس ضلّو يتطلع فيّي
bas dhallo yitalla' fi-yi
عيونو ما تركت عينيّي
'ayouno ma tarakat 'ayni-yi
شو مشتقلي حسّيتو
shu mushtaqli hasayto

بعدو قلبي بيحنّلو
ba'do qalbi bihannilo
بجرِّب ما شوفو وحسّلو
bijarrib ma shufu w hasaylo
تعّبني، زعّلني
t'a'abni, za'allni
وأكتر ما عطاني عطيتو
wa akter ma 'atani 'ateyto

بس ضلّو يتطلع فيّي
bas dhallo yitalla' fi-yi
عيونو ما تركت عينيّي
'ayouno ma tarakat 'ayni-yi
شو مشتقلي حسّيتو
shu mushtaqli hasayto

صعبي إبعد عنو صعبي
sa'bi ib'ad 'ano sa'bi
عايش فيّي مضيّع قلبي
'ayesh fi-yi mdayyi' qalbi
ضحّكني، بكّاني
dahhakni, bakkani
وكل شي منّو حبيتو
w kul shi minno habayto

بس ضلّو يتطلع فيّي
bas dhallo yitalla' fi-yi
عيونو ما تركت عينيّي
'ayouno ma tarakat 'ayni-yi
شو مشتقلي حسّيتو
shu mushtaqli hasayto

شفتو ع مفرق بيتو
shifto 'a mafrak bayto
لا حكاني ولا حكيتو
la hakani wala hakayto
بس ضلّو يتطلع فيّي
bas dhallo yitalla' fi-yi
عيونو ما تركت عينيّي
'ayouno ma tarakat 'ayni-yi
شو مشتقلي حسّيتو
shu mushtaqli hasayto

What I Missed

I saw him at the corner of his house
He didn’t talk to me, nor did I talk to him
But he kept staring at me
His eyes never left mine
What I missed, I felt it

My heart still longs for him
I try not to see him and feel him
He wore me out, made me mad
And more than what he gave, I gave him

But he kept staring at me
His eyes never left mine
What I missed, I felt it

It’s hard to stay away from him, it’s hard
He lives in me, my heart’s lost
He made me laugh, made me cry
And everything about him, I loved

But he kept staring at me
His eyes never left mine
What I missed, I felt it

I saw him at the corner of his house
He didn’t talk to me, nor did I talk to him
But he kept staring at me
His eyes never left mine
What I missed, I felt it
