Sick for Attention

Music is very Elissa style, I like that she is singing more powering songs instead of "I love you all the way" only, the way she used to.

The lyric video is nicely made, I would've expected more from Rotana though.


إسم الأغنية: مريضة اهتمام
غناء: اليسا
كلمات : علي المولى
ألحان : رامي الشافعي
توزيع : كميل خوري

Song name: "Maridhit Ehtimam" (Sick for attention)
Singer: Elissa
Lyrics: Ali AlMawla
Composer: Rami AlShafei
Mix by: Kameel Khouri
Genre: Lebanese Classic

ممنوع تهملني...
لازم حسك عطول عم بتحبني...
ما بيرضيني الحب العادي...
عطول بدي حس زيادة...
قد ما اخد بدي أكتر...
و معي رح تتعب!

انا مريضة اهتمام ما بدي اشفى!
انا يلي احساسا نقطة ضعفا!
خلاصة الكلام...
مريضة اهتمام!

الناس بيملوا...
صدقني كرمال هيك كلن بيفلوا!
و اذا انت معود تزهق
و بس هالقد بتعرف تعشق
بفضل كفي عمري لوحدي...
و اخر همي!

You are not allowed to neglect me...
I should always feel...
That you are loving me!
I can not be satisfied with ordinary love...
I always want to feel so much more...
No matter how much I take I want more...
And you will get tired of me!

I am sick for attention!
I never want to be cured!
My feelings are...
My weakness!
In conclusion...
I am sick for attention!

People get bored...
Believe me that's the reason why...
They all leave!
And if you are used to getting bored...
And you can only love in this capacity...
Then I'd rather live my life alone...
And it would be the least of my worries!

The opposite of what they see

I have no idea how many times I listened to this song, it was a top song in 2016 for me, I wouldn't exaggerate if I said that it's currently my national anthem...This kind of songs is rare in the Arab world where a singer sings about his/ her personal feelings, feelings that are not related to love or someone else (examples: "Ya Mryati" by Elissa -  "Sarkha" by Saber El Rebai - "Al Moshtaka" by Assala Nasri and "Efrah Wo Ehlam" by Latifa...Below you can find English translation of the song and the original Arabic lyrics.


إسم الأغنية: عكس اللي شايفينها

غناء: إليسا

كلمات : أمير طعيمه

ألحان : وليد سعد

توزيع : أحمد إبراهيم


و قالوا سعيدة في حياتها و واصله لكل أحلامها
و باينه عليها فرحتها في ضحكتها و في كلامها
و عايشه كأنها في جنة و كل الدنيا مالكاها

و قالوا عنيده و قوية ما بيأثرش شيء فيها
محدش في الحياة يقدر يمشي كلمته عليها
هتحلم ليه و تتمنى مفيش ولاحاجة ناقصاها 

و من جوايا أنا عكس اللي شايفينها ..
و عالجرح اللي فيها ربنا يعينها
ساعات الضحكة بتداري في جرح كبير ..
ساعات فيه حاجات ما بنحبش نبينها 

كتير أنا ببقى من جوايا بتألم ..
و مليون حاجه كاتماها بتوجعني
بيبقى نفسي أحكي لحد و أتكلم ..
و عزة نفسي هي اللي بتمنعني

سنين و أنا عايشه في مشاكلي و بعمل أني ناسياها
و حكموا عليا من شكلي و م العيشه اللي عايشاها
أنا أوقات أبان هاديه و من جوايا نار قايده 

و لو يوم اللي حسدوني يعيشوا مكاني لو ثانيه
و لو شافو اللي انا شفته هيتمنوا حياة تانيه
و لو هحكي عن اللي انا فيه هتفرق أيه.. أيه الفايدة

Song name: "Aks Elli Shaifenha" (The opposite of what they see)

Singer: Elissa

Lyrics: Ameer Tu'aimah

Composer: Waleed Sa'ad

Mix by: Ahmad Ibrahim

They said that she is happy in her life, already pursued all her dreams
And we tell that she is happy, in the way she laugh and talk
And that she is living as If she's in paradise, while owning the whole world

They said that she is stubborn and strong, nothing can affect her
No one in this world can force her to do anything
Why would she dream or wish for a thing, she doesn't need anything



Deep inside I'm the opposite of what they see
May God help her with healing her wound
Sometimes a smile Is hiding away a deep wound
Sometimes there are things we don't like to show


Most of the time I am deeply suffering...
And a million hidden internal issues are killing me...
I wish I can talk to someone...
But my pride holds me back

For many years I lived my own problems, while pretending to forget them
And they judged me according to the way I look and the way I am living
At times I play it cool but inside I am burning like a fire

And if one day those who envy me, put their feet in my shoes just for a second...
And if they "saw" experienced what I've been through, they will wish for another life...



And If I talk about what I'm going through, what difference does it make...what's the point?

Take good care of me


My favorite song of Elissa 2008 album...No wonder because it was composed by Waleed Sa'ad...Most of his work is amazing if not all of it!

It's kinda similar to a song from her 2006 album "Law Bassaet Qoddamak".

The music arrangement of the song is amazing, those violins are making me melt!

Here is a montaged video I found on Youtube...Elissa is NOT in the clip but you can hear the song if you don't like to download the MP3


Song name: Khod Balak Alaya (Take good care of me) خذ بالك عليا
Album: Ayyami Beek أيامي بيك 2008
Song genre: Pop Music, slow tempo, Romance, Love
Singer: Elissa - إليسا
Lyrics by: Nader Abdullah - نادر عبدالله
Composed by: Waleed Sa'ad - وليد سعد
Arranged by: Hani Sibilini & Walid Mimna - هاني سيبليني و وليد ممنا
Translated by: RADIANT GUY (ME)


Take good care of me...This is not a tender way to treat me...
And keep in mind all the days I devoted my self to you

If only you could understand me and not take it granted...
A woman who has ached without revealing it...
This woman who has sacrificed and tolerated so much...
When she decides to walk away, she will not ask for your permission!

There were many missing things in you and I made them all perfect...
And I made the ugly parts of you pretty...
My love is an opportunity that you will regret if you lost it!

Who else will spend days worrying about you?
Who else will let you take her soul with you, if you decided to walk away?
Who else will you find whenever you need someone around?


خذ بالك عليا...دي مش معاملة تعاملني بيها
و إبقى إفتكر ليا...أيام تعبت عشانك فيها

يا ريتك بس تفهمني و ما تستهونش
دي وحدة تبقى مجروحة و ما بتبينش
دي الوحده قد ما تضحي و تستحمل...اول ما ما بتفكر تنسى ما بتستأذنش

كان في حاجات ناقصاك و أنا كملتها
و حاجات كتير مش حلوة فيك جملتها
أنا فرصة لو ضيعتها تزعل عليها

مين غيري عايشة تخاف عليك طول عمرها
مين غيري هتسيب روحها ليك لو سبتها
مين غيري لو تحتاجلها قوام هتلاقيها

If you looked in front of you



Elissa is known for her romantic songs, her 2006 album "Bastannak" (Waiting for you) finally released.
There is one song that I CAN NOT stop listening to it, it's was kind a like LOVE OF FIRST SIGHT.
The song's name is "Law Basseet Qoddamak" (If you looked in front of you).
Here is my translation.

Song name: Law Basseet Qoddamak (If you looked in front of you)

Singer: Elissa
Lyrics by: I don't know
Translated by: RADIANT GUY (ME)


If you had a look around you…
You will know who truly loves you and who is the girl you always see in your dreams.
Why don't you recognize you?
Why don't you see me?
If you thought about me a bit…
You will feel my love toward you
It's clearly obvious from the way I regard you
It's clearly obvious from the way I talk to you
I really miss you and every part of me missing you too

Days are passing really fast while I am still waiting for you
I am afraid that I die before you realize that I love you
Why don't you recognize you?
Why don't you see me?
If you thought about me a bit…
You will feel my love toward you
It's clearly obvious from the way I regard you
It's clearly obvious from the way I talk to you
I really miss you and every part of me missing you too
