I like this song 🎶

This singer is called George Wussouf he's Syrian and is known as "sultan (sometimes king) of Arabic music".
He sings most of his songs in Egyptian dialect including this one.

I don't usually listen to this kind of songs but this specific one from 1999 is special to me. I found it when I was a kid in a game. The game came with a folder filled with songs and this was included in there. The game was GTA Vice City and inside the game you are allowed to put your own songs and there was a few more Arabic songs along with this one.

I also love the vibe the old cars and all.

A Surgeon

I'm a surgeon, that cures people's hearts
but I've stayed up all night to hide many wounds
(2x)
they saw me and said that I was living in luxury...
... singing from all the happiness
(2x)
come and ask about me
(2x)
I have many wounds in me that all the doctors of the world couldn't heal

I'm a surgeon, that cures people's hearts
but I've stayed up all night to hide many wounds

oh lovers, my heart is like a strange man
like a strange man for a long time now
oh you who forgotten my love, how could you forget it
how could you forget my love that used to be...
(2x)
where are the promises, where are the treaties
(2x)
where is the love and kindness, and the kindness

oh lovers, my heart is like a strange man
like a strange man for a long time now
oh you who forgotten my love, how could you forget it
how could you forget my love that used to be...
where are the promises, where are the treaties
(2x)
where is the love and kindness, and the kindness

they saw me and said that I was living in luxury...
... singing from all the happiness
(2x)
come and ask about me
(2x)
I have many wounds in me that all the doctors of the world couldn't heal

I'm a surgeon, that cures people's hearts
but I've stayed up all night to hide many wounds

I've suffered a lot, my silence is bitter
my silence is bitter, my laugh is a moan
the smile was lost, and the train has left
the train has left years ago (an expression means it's too late)
(2x)
where are the promises, where are the treaties
(2x)
where is the love and kindness, and the kindness

I've suffered a lot, my silence is bitter
my silence is bitter, my laugh is a moan
the smile was lost, and the train has left
the train has left years ago (an expression means it's too late)
where are the promises, where are the treaties
(2x)
where is the love and kindness, and the kindness

they saw me and said that I was living in luxury...
... singing from all the happiness
(2x)
come and ask about me
(2x)
I have many wounds in me that all the doctors of the world couldn't heal

I'm a surgeon, that cures people's hearts
but I've stayed up all night to hide many wounds

this is the first time i'm hearing "modern" Arabic/Egyptian music or seeing a video. with your translation i can hear the emotion. needs more bass, tho ;)
@SW-User I never thought that it needs more bass but you are right it does!
Btw that's just lyrics translate website 🤭 too much work to translate it. I only edited some mistakes that I found.

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether i figured it was a rough translate by the way it reads, but you did a good job! 😊

بتفكرني في أغنية كلام الناس قديمة جداً
@SW-User لسا سامع اغنية كلام الناس امبارح 😁 لاول مرة

انا زيك مبيعجبنيش هذا النوع من الأغاني بصورة عامة بس الحاجة القديمة بتبقى حلوة اذا كانت مرتبطة بذكريات جميلة
