Al Mujalak - Ya Diaana (English Translation) lyrics

Ya Diaana (What A Waste)

There was a time
That they would tell us about
It was a time
That they would tell us about
That time is gone
They wasted it for us

We see pictures that speak about a country
A picture of Beirut back in the sixties
The days of prosperity
The beautiful days
Back when the Lira used to have value
They tell you about how this city used to be
Everyone had his story in its old city

What a waste of
What a waste
What a waste

We are done crying over the dead
15 years of pure destruction
We are done crying over the dead
15 years of pure destruction
And now everything has to be with nepotism
Or you need to join a party
You can't escape
I can’t escape
And if you were a gentleman
Then it's too late for you
