Translation of the song بنوب artist Najwa Karam
بنوب
making himself poor and good one
تمسكن حتى يتمكن
make himself poor till he will gain ability (means ; he is making himself poor man until he will be able to do things )
فكره يتحكم فينا
he thinks that he can control us (me)
تمسكن حتى يتمكن
make himself poor till he will gain ability
على أطباعه يمشينا
and he wants to drive us (me) by his mood
لك وين بعده صاحبنا
oh where is our (my) friend !
جاي بلعبة يلاعبنا
he is coming with a game to play it
منعرف كل دواوينا
but we ( i ) know all his divans (sheets) ... [ means : but i know all his games ]
لابس شعار الوفا
wearing a faithfulness badge ( means : he is acting as a good man)
منعرف مش توبه هالتوب
we ( i) know this cloth is not his cloth
متل اللي عم يطلب دفا
like the one who asks for warmness
فوق النار بعز الشوب
while he is above the fire and in the severe hotness
وبعده مكفى ألعابه
and still he didn't complete his games
ونحن بيضنا كتابه
while we ( i ) whitened his book (means: i discover him that he is not that good man even before he finishes his games )
وكل أموره فاهمينا
and we ( i )understood all his plans
بيحكي الكلمة ع الهدا
he is talking with calmness
تيقنعنا بالأفكار
to convince us (me) with his thoughts
ما خلى بدربه حدا
he didn't bypass anyone in his path
رماد مخبى تحت النار
like cinders hidden beneath fire
ولما نكون مقابيله
and while we are (i'm) in front of him
عم يتذاكى بتمثيله
he acts intelligently
وكل فنونه حافظينا
and we ( i ) know all his arts
