lyrics

*Translated from Arabic and Bengali

أنا انا انا أنا انا أنا أنا انا أنا
Me, myself and I .. Me, myself and I .. Me, myself and I
تسعى العين .. يا ليلى يا ليلى يا ليل
The eye seeks .. oh my night oh my night oh night
تسعى العين .. يا ليلى يا ليلى يا ليل
The eye seeks .. oh my night oh my night oh night
انا وجودى مش وجودك
I’m my existence not your existence
انت وجودهم مش وجودك
You’re their existence not your existence
هم وجودك مش وجودهم
They’re your existence not their existence
انا و انت مش وجودهم
Me & you are not their existence
انا و انتى مش وجودهم ..احنا مش وجودهم
Me & you are not their existence .. We aren’t their existence
انا موجود .. انا موجودة
I exist .. I exist
تسعى العين .. يا ليلى يا ليلى يا ليل
The eye seeks nine .. oh my night oh my night oh night
انا وجودى مش وجودكم .. انا وجودى
I’m my existence not your existence .. I’m my existence
أنا انا انا أنا انا أنا أنا انا أنا
Me, myself and I .. Me, myself and I .. Me, myself and I

Amar chaya tomar chaya noy (My shadow is not your shadow)
Tomar chaya oder chaya noy (Your shadow is not their shadow)
Oder chaya amar chaya noy (Their shadow is not my shadow)

مفيش مجال للمناقشة فى وجودى
There’s no field for negotiating my existence
مفيش مكان للمناقصة فى وجودى
There’s no place for bidding on my existence
تسعى العين تسعة .. يا ليلى يا ليلى يا ليل
The eye seeks nine .. oh my night oh my night oh night
تسعى العين تسعة .. يا ليلى يا ليلى يا ليل
The eye seeks nine .. oh my night oh my night oh night
تسعى العين تسعة .. يا ليلى يا ليلى يا ليل
The eye seeks nine .. oh my night oh my night oh night
وطنى نفسى
Home is myself
وطني ليس مكان ولادتي
Home is not where I was born
ولكنه المكان الذي تنتهي فيه كل محاولاتي للهروب
But it is the place where all my attempts to escape cease
وطنى نفسى
Home is myself
انا وجودى .. تسعى العين تسعة
I’m my own existence .. The eye seeks nine
