رقصة ليلى [Raksit Leila] [English translation]

Not everything that works is jinxed

Money (can also be 'distance/class') comes between us

Sing to me about eggplants (an expression used 1- to dismiss something someone tells you 2 - it can also mean "let's talk about silly stuff" and 3 - An 'eggplant' also refers to penis, so it can also be interpreted as "Let's talk about sex.")

Everything except your troubles

The situation is fucked up

And I'm not following two orders (can also be 'two things/commands')

A prince, an angel and two policies (I see this as reference to Lebanon being ruled by foreign countries, religious leaders and it's different internal political factions, unless by "mlek" he means "malik", i.e. 'king')

Repression doesn't work (literal translation is "it's not working in the jar." It can also be interpreted as a play on the English expression "in a pickle" or "jar of pickles")
