From the song
Jayed جيد by SNX
The title means "good" or "well." A Moroccan-Egyptian song of the moment someone realises their own worth. If you had known my value, he says, you would not have let me walk alone or turned the story against me. What he sees in her eyes is not a real life, but being with her is a lovely feeling and she is good. Your history, to me, is nothing that can bring me back; I am leaving, and I come only to say something. The second half is the cheerful part: the two of them are wonderful together, her glow is bright, and "you are good" is repeated like a compliment and a verdict.
Deeper meaning
A farewell and a compliment in one breath: it admits she is good and still walks away because she did not value him. Light-hearted in sound, firm in meaning.
