KUN ANTA

AlKhuder
Li
ujarihim, Qaldattu Zhahira ma fihim
In order to keep up
with them, I imitated their looks and exterior
Fabadautu
syakhsan aakhar, Kai atafaa khar
So I become someone
else, just to boast
Wa zhanantu
ana, anni bizalika khuztu ghina
And I thought that
throught that I’d gained a fortune
Fawajadtu
anni khaasir, fatilka mazhahir
But I found that
I’d lost, for these are mere apprearances
(Chorus)
La, la
No, no
La
nakhtajul maala, Kai nazdadajamaala
No, we don’t need
wealth in order to increase in beauty
Jauharna
huna, Fil Qalbitalaalaa
Our essence is
here, in our heart it shines
La, la
No, no
Nurdinnaasa
bi mala, Nardhahu lana haala
We will not seek to
please others with that which we deem unbefitting for ourselves
Zaaka jamaluna,
yasmu yata’ala
That is our beauty,
rising and ascending above
Oh Wo Oh,
Oh Wo Oooh, Oh Wo Oh, Oh Wo Oooh, Oh Wo Oh, Oh Wo Oooh
Kun anta
nazdad jamala
Be yourself and you
will increase in beauty
Attaqabbaluhum,
Annaasu lastu qaliduhum
I accept people but
I don’t imitate them
Illa bima
yurdinii, Kai urdiinii
Except for what I
agree with, to satisfy myself
Saakunu
ana, Misli tamaman hazal ana
I will just be
myself, just the way I am, This is me
Faqanaa’atil
takfiinii, zaaka yakiinii
My conviction
suffices, this is my certainty
(Churos)
Saakunu
ana, man ardha ana, lan as’alaa liridhahum
I’ll be what I
please to be, I won’t seek their
acceptance
Wa akunu
ana, ma ahwa ana, maali wamaa liridhahum
I’ll be whom I love
to be, Why would I care about their acceptance
Saakunu
ana, man ardha ana, lan as’alaa liridhahum
I’ll be what I
please to be, I won’t seek their
acceptance
Wa akunu
ana, ma ahwa ana, lan ardha ana biridhahum
I’ll be whom I love
to be, I won’t be pleased by their acceptance
