Translation of the song متل اليوم artist Faia Younan
متل اليوم
Like today
بكل مرة جديدة بتنسمع هالغنية
With every new time this song is played,
حيكون مر الوقت وكبرنا شوية
time will have passed by and we will have grown older
حيكون في شي راح وفي مكانه جديد
Some things will be gone… with new things in place
صورة حتقرب وخيال حيصير بعيد
Some images will come closer, while some silhouettes go far away
ومسافات حتنقص ومسافات حتزيد
Some distances will shrink while some others will increase…
بس كل ما انسمعت هالغنية
But every time this song is played
اشياء بتبقى هي هي
some things will remain the same
حضل حبك متل اليوم
I will love you like today
ويمكن اكتر شوية
and perhaps a little more
وبكل مرة جديدة بتنسمع هالغنية
And with every new time this song is played
يمكن اشياء غريبة نصير نشوفها عادية
Perhaps the things we see as strange will become ordinary with time
وحنستغرب مبارح بس نرجع نتمناه
We might think of yesterday as strange but still wish it came back
وحنخاف من بكرا بس حنستناه
and we might be afraid of tomorrow but we’ll still wait for it eagerly
ومسافات حتنقص ومسافات حتزيد
Some distances will shrink while some others will increase…
بس كل ما انسمعت هالغنية
But every time this song is played
اشياء بتبقى هي هي
some things will remain the same
حضل حبك متل اليوم
I will love you like today
ويمكن اكتر شوية
and perhaps a little more
وبكل مرة جديدة بتنسمع هالغنية
And with every new time this song is played,
حيكون صار في غيرها أغاني كتير
there will be many other new songs
أغاني فرحة... وأغاني أسى
some happy songs… some sad songs
منها يمكن نحفظها وتاني حتنتسى
some of them we will memorize by heart and some others we’ll forget
بس كل ما انسمعت هالغنية
But every time this song is played
بعرف رح بتفكر فيي
I know that you will think of me
لأن كل شي... قبل ما يمشي... بيترك أثر
Because all things in life, before fading away, leave a trace
ولو انه شوية
no matter how small…
وكل ما انسمعت هالغنية
and every time this song is played
اشياء بتبقى هي هي
some things will remain the same
حضل حبك متل اليوم
I will love you like today
ويمكن اكتر شوية
and perhaps a little more
