«مِنْ يُومِكْ يَا زْبِيبَهْ وِفِيكِي دِي الْعُودْ»

The image is a dried grape that still carries the tiny piece of stem that once joined it to the bunch. That leftover mark has been part of it from the start, so its presence is no surprise and is not going to disappear.

Applied to people, the saying describes someone whose situation, behavior, or defining trait has stayed fixed over time. It treats the person's present state as an old, built-in feature rather than something new or temporary, and points to a lasting condition, not admirable constancy.

Say it when someone shows the same habit, flaw, or circumstance they have always had, implying it was never likely to change. It is not praise of steadfastness unless the context clearly supports that.
