Bladi Lyrics in English by Marwa Loud, Mister You, Maestro
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Bladi by Marwa Loud from French to English.
فين هوما المغاربة؟ فين هوما ولاد كازا؟
Where are the Moroccans? Where are the kids from Casa?
ولاد بني ملال، فينها دار بوعزة؟
The kids from Beni Mellal, where's Dar Bouazza?
كازا، عكاشة، وجدة، مكناس
Casa, Oukacha, Oujda, Meknes
جيب، جيب جوج قرعات، زيد عمر الكاس
Bring, bring two bottles, fill the glass again
شحال من واحد بدا كيبيع في الغبرة
So many people started selling powder
مات في البحر كان غادي في الغربة
He died in the sea, he was going abroad
مات كي فرعون لي كان يجري على موسى
He died like Pharaoh who was chasing Moses
مات وخلى فاميلته منحوسة
He died and left his family distressed
دار كلشي بالحرام حتى حاجة ما صدقت له
He did everything forbidden, nothing worked out for him
البارح كانوا صحاب ليوما باغين يتقاتلوا
Yesterday they were friends, today they want to fight
وفين الأصدقاء ما بقاش فيهم الثقة
And where are the friends? There's no more trust in them
الله يعطيهم الضيقة l'cellule سفتوني فـ
May God give them hardship, they sent me to the cell
ملحة وكمون شوية زيت العود
Salt and cumin, a little olive oil
شحال من واحد ضاع ومات ليه الحوت
So many people got lost and their luck ran out
خوى الدار ومشى خلى ݣاع الخوت
He left the house and left all his brothers
بقاو غي التصاور لاصقين في الحيوط
Only the pictures remained stuck on the walls
يا بلادي توحشتك ديما في قلبي وبالي
Oh my country, I miss you, always in my heart and mind
واو، واو
Wow, wow
فين غادا بيّ؟
Where are you taking me?
غي ميمتي في عينيّ
Only my mom in my eyes
وزهري وما دار ليّ
And my luck and what it did to me
C'est ça la vie
That's life
قلبي راه صافي توحشت بلادي ݣاع صحابي
My heart is done, I miss my country, all my friends
يا بلادي توحشتك ديما في قلبي وبالي
Oh my country, I miss you, always in my heart and mind
واو، واو، واوه
Wow, wow, wow
ماتوا، رجعوا، سكروا، شطحوا
They died, they returned, they got drunk, they danced
خافوا، نعسوا، عاموا، ضربوا الݣارو، الݣارو
They got scared, they slept, they swam, they smoked a cigarette, a cigarette
شعلوا وحرݣوا، شدوا الباطو، حتى هو حرݣوا
They lit up and burned, they took the boat, they burned it too
فهموا، داخوا، صحبوا، جابوا
They understood, they got dizzy, they befriended, they brought
هدروا، هدروا على حياته وعلى مرته اللي حمقاته
They talked, they talked about his life and about his wife who drove him crazy
اللي هبلاته وخلاته
Who made him mad and left him
قلبي وقلبي كان كيبغيهم
My heart, my heart used to love them
ولكن حتى هوما هدروا
But they also talked
بغيته، بغيته، علاش غنطلقه؟
I loved him, I loved him, why would I let him go?
والو، والو خلاوني عليكم
Nothing, nothing, they left me to deal with you
يا بلادي توحشتك ديما في قلبي وبالي
Oh my country, I miss you, always in my heart and mind
واو، واو
Wow, wow
فين غادا بيّ؟
Where are you taking me?
غي ميمتي في عينيّ
Only my mom in my eyes
وزهري وما دار ليّ
And my luck and what it did to me
C'est ça la vie
That's life
قلبي راه صافي توحشت بلادي ݣاع صحابي
My heart is done, I miss my country, all my friends

Did you like this lyrics translation?
الغربة — exile / foreign land
الغربة (al-ghurba) translates to 'exile' or 'foreign land'. It's a deeply resonant word in Arabic culture, carrying strong connotations of longing, displacement, and the challenges faced by those living away from their homeland.
In "Bladi," Marwa Loud uses this word to highlight the struggles of young people who leave their country in search of a better life, often facing hardship and even death. The line "مات في البحر كان غادي في الغربة" (He died in the sea, he was going to the foreign land) powerfully captures the tragic reality of migration and the emotional weight of 'الغربة'.
