Balak (feat. Zeyne)

Saint Levant's song 'Balak (feat. Zeyne)' is a poignant exploration of longing and the emotional toll of being separated from a loved one. The lyrics, a blend of Arabic, English, and French, reflect the artist's multicultural background and add layers of depth to the narrative. The song opens with a heartfelt question, 'كيف أسهل بعدك؟' (How can I make it easier after you?), setting the tone for a journey through the pain and yearning that comes with distance. The repeated phrase 'مشتاق زيي' (I miss you like me) underscores the mutual longing and the sleepless nights spent thinking about the beloved.

The chorus highlights the struggle of living without the loved one, with lines like 'أنا حظي أضيع بهواك وأتوه وأعيشه بلاك' (My fate is to get lost in your love and live without you). This sentiment is further emphasized by the recurring question, 'ليه بلاك مكان هل قد بعيد؟' (Why is your place so far away?). The use of multiple languages not only showcases Saint Levant's versatility but also symbolizes the universal nature of love and longing, transcending linguistic and cultural barriers.

Zeyne's contribution adds another layer of emotional depth, with lines like 'I know you see the follow backs, oh no, بس فيش حدا بنافسك' (But no one competes with you). This modern touch, referencing social media, brings the timeless theme of love into a contemporary context. The song's bridge, with its plea for the heart to forget and be content, 'لو يحميني قلبي وينسيني' (If my heart protects me and makes me forget), encapsulates the internal conflict of wanting to move on yet being unable to let go. 'Balak' is a beautiful, melancholic reflection on the complexities of love, distance, and the enduring hope of reunion.
