Lyrics

So here's a word I bet you've heard and wondered how to use it. بنقول لك كتير ومش فاهمين جاي منين وازاي. Rolls off your tongue and when I'm done I hope you'll finally get it. معلش. معلش. It's gonna be alright. معلش. It's gonna be just fine. Don't sweat it but I'm sure you would succeed if you just try. معلش. I'm sorry won't you pardon me. I didn't mean to do it even though I clearly did it. متعدي هالمرة دي معلش. And though it's used to comfort you in times of tricks and trouble. When nobody used it will abuse and show that no one cares. شايفك الآن وكمان تعبان مش عارف إزاي أساعدك هقولك برضو معلش. معلش. It's gonna be alright. معلش. It's gonna be just fine. Don't sweat it but I'm sure you would succeed if you just try. معلش. I'm sorry won't you pardon me. I didn't mean to do it even though I clearly did it. متعدي هالمرة دي معلش. Left you waiting for an hour. I killed your birthday flower. I turned this good day sour. معلش. نزلت العربية وحرقت الملوخية وصت في الإعدادية معلش. معلش. It's gonna be alright. معلش. It's gonna be just fine. Don't sweat it but I'm sure you would succeed if you just try. معلش. I'm sorry won't you pardon me. I didn't mean to do it even though I clearly did it. متعدي هالمرة دي معلش. متعدي هالمرة دي معلش. متعدي هالمرة دي معلش. معلش.
