Oh world1, oh God, oh world, oh God, oh world, oh God
Oh world, oh God, oh world, oh God, oh world, oh God
This world only respects the one who has money
But the one that needs her2, she humiliates him and tramples him
You see, life is a school that we have taken many lessons in
And this is how life goes, this is how life goes
It is going in reverse for us
Go around with us, oh world. Make us dizzy, oh world
Take us left for a bit, take us right for a bit
Here we are, silent.. oh world
Go around with us, oh world. Swing us around, oh world
You smiled to us, that's ok .. you fooled us, that's ok
Here we are, living.. Here we are
You're making us lost and poor.. You're making us taste bitterness in you
Boy have we grown weary because we are poor, have mercy on us, this is unfair of you
Go around with us, oh world. Make us dizzy, oh world
Take us left for a bit, take us right for a bit
Here we are, living.. oh world
Oh world, oh God, oh world, oh God, oh world, oh God
Oh world, oh God, oh world, oh God, oh world, oh God
You keep crushing us, oh world, and night and day you thrash us
You are even making us live life so meticulously3
Whenever things go well for us and we go forward two steps
You turn around and bring us a thousand steps to the back
Oh world, oh God, oh world, oh God, oh world, oh God
Oh world, oh God, oh world, oh God, oh world, oh God
Go around with us, oh world. Make us dizzy, oh world
Take us left for a bit, take us right for a bit
Here we are, living.. oh world
1. Note: every word "world' in this song can be also interpreted to mean "Life". Egyptian people use one word to convey the two meanings since they overlap.2. her refers to the world here.3. Idiom, the literal translation is: "you are even making us live life by pen and ruler". It means they have to calculate their every move and live in fear.
