Woroud

Khayarouni (they made me choose)

Woroud
Ibn 3am means uncle's son (paternal)
Ibn khal means uncle's son (maternal)
Her family is trying to marry her off to one of her cousins but she loves neither, she loves somebody else.


I am not able to lie about my situation
And tell you, my uncle's son, that you are the one for me
I cannot give you a body without the soul
Oh my soul
My soul is attached to my precious loved one
My precious one

Chorus


They made me choose my uncle's son (p)
They made me choose my uncle's son (m)


I told them 'my family,'
I have other yearnings in my mind
X2


My uncle's son (p) brings me no joy
My uncle's son (m) is not even on my mind
X2

I don't want anyone other than the object of my longing
And my heart is the one that decides

Repeat chorus


My family - why the blame?
Why even more talk?
X2

God knows about hearts
And love is not shameful
X2

My uncle's son (p) brings me no joy
My uncle's son (m) is not even on my mind
X2

I don't want anyone other than the object of my longing
And my heart is the one that decides

O my family, dearest of all people
I asked you, and pleaded (literally on the eye and on the head - its an arab expression used when asking favours)
X2

But you don't want this
And want me to rid my heart of feelings
X2

My uncle's son (p) brings me no joy
My uncle's son (m) is not even on my mind
X2

I don't want anyone other than the object of my longing
And my heart is the one that decides

Repeat chorus
