Woledto

Elyanna's song 'Woledto' delves into the emotional landscape of love, loss, and self-discovery. The lyrics, written in Arabic, convey a deep sense of introspection and vulnerability. The opening lines, 'وأسألُ نفسي بعد الغِيابِ / بكلِّ انكسارٍ لماذا اِبتعدتُ؟' (I ask myself after the absence / With all brokenness, why did I distance myself?), set the tone for a reflective journey. The singer questions her decision to distance herself from a love that once felt celestial, symbolized by the phrase 'وقد كان حُبُّك فوق النُجومِ' (And your love was above the stars). This metaphor elevates the love to a divine or unattainable level, suggesting its profound impact on her life.

As the song progresses, Elyanna reveals the depth of her emotional investment, 'وألقيتُ قلبِي حتّى صعِدتُ' (And I threw my heart until I ascended). This line suggests that she gave her all to this relationship, to the point of feeling elevated or transformed by it. The imagery of throwing her heart implies a sense of sacrifice and vulnerability, highlighting the intensity of her feelings. The use of celestial imagery continues to underscore the transcendental nature of her love, making it seem both beautiful and distant.

The concluding lines, 'وحسبي بأنّي أُحِبُّ الحياة / كأنّي على شفتيك وُلدتُ' (And it is enough for me that I love life / As if I was born on your lips), encapsulate the essence of the song. Here, Elyanna finds solace in the fact that her love for life is intertwined with her love for the other person. The metaphor of being 'born on your lips' suggests that her identity and sense of self are deeply connected to this love. It implies a rebirth or a new beginning, where love becomes a source of life and inspiration. This powerful imagery leaves the listener with a sense of hope and renewal, despite the underlying melancholy.
