From the morning I'm drowning in troubles
And from the start the day is going very wrong!
I have to wait for His Majesty to pass
While he shamelessly drives in the wrong direction on a one-way street.
Why is my heart so troubled?
It looks like it’s going to be a day that I'm going to regret.
Why am I stuck in this traffic-jam? I should've never come this way!
My whole day is wasted in this traffic, this country is killing me!
I wanted to take a right,
But they advised that it would be better if I took a left;
I said, they must know what they’re talking about,
But I ended up in a graveyard.
If you ask for directions in this country,
God help you!
Why am I stuck in this traffic-jam? I should've never come this way!
My whole day is wasted in this traffic, this country is killing me!
I just about managed to pass the bus...
When I looked sideways and found a wedding car convoy:
And since this is the weekend, pal
You have no choice but to go where the convoy of cars takes you,
Loud music is blaring, and no one seems to notice
The bitterness we’re living in.
Why am I stuck in this traffic-jam? I should've never come this way!
My whole day is wasted in this traffic, this country is killing me!
Once I thought I was smarter than everyone...
So I took a shortcut and got away from the traffic – I was so happy!
… only to find myself in the the crowded downtown street of Salah Salem…
So I pulled over crying,
Woe to me and my life!
Am I ever going to get home?
Why am I stuck in this traffic-jam? I should've never come this way!
My whole day is wasted in this traffic, this country is killing me!
I almost got back home, but my street was blocked off,
There was a big crowd, and the house was surrounded by the police,
I noticed a scraggly-looking young man
That they were carrying away; an activist, they said,
Come on, just forget about it, the whole day is ruined anyway!
How could he make it any worse?
Why am I stuck in this traffic-jam? I should've never come this way!
My whole day is wasted in this traffic, this country is killing me!
Why am I stuck in this traffic-jam? I should've never come this way!
My whole day is wasted in this traffic, this country is killing me!
Why am I stuck in this traffic-jam? I should've never come this way!
My whole day is wasted in this traffic, this country is killing me!
