رمش خطاف والسحر أصناف
A hooked eyelash and magic of all kinds,
وانا قلبي يتخاف عليه يا بابا
And my heart is scared for it, oh daddy.
ورد يتشال ولونه قتال
A rose that's picked, its color lethal,
شغلني وأزال مافات يا بابا
It occupied me and erased the past, oh daddy.
رسمة العين دى ربنا يعين
The drawing of that eye, may God help us,
كل اللي والعين منهم يا بابا
All those who gaze upon it, oh daddy.
ماس على ياقوت هموت عليها موت
I walk on rubies, I'll die for it, oh what a fate,
من رقة الصوت آهين يا بابا
From the tenderness of the voice, oh how sweet, oh daddy.
آهي آهي آهي، آهي آهي آه
Aah aah aah, aah aah aah,
من رقة الصوت آهين يا بابا
From the tenderness of the voice, oh how sweet, oh daddy.
آهي آهي آهي، آهي آهي آه
Ah-eh, ah-eh, ah, ah-eh, ah
من رقة الصوت آهين يا بابا
From the softness of the voice, oh daddy
خد وناس وضيه كالماس
Cheeks and skin bright as jewels
عايزله حراس عليه يا بابا
I want guards for her, oh daddy
العيون سود وقلبي معقود
Her eyes are dark and my heart is tied
سكر وعنقود عنب يا بابا
Sugar and a bunch of grapes, oh daddy
الدلال قال في الضحكه موال
Charm speaks in the laughter's melody
وحسنها اغتال قلوب يا بابا
And her beauty steals hearts, oh daddy
ماس على ياقوت هموت عليها موت
With a touch of ruby, I’d die for her, oh
من رقة الصوت آهين يا بابا
From the softness of the voice, oh daddy
آهي آهي آهي، آهي آهي آه
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
من رقة الصوت آهين يا بابا
With a voice so tender, oh baby
آهي آهي آهي، آهي آهي آه
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
من رقة الصوت آهين يا بابا
With a voice so tender, oh baby
آهي آهي آهي، آهي آهي آه
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
من رقة الصوت آهين يا بابا
With a voice so tender, oh baby
آهي آهي آهي، آهي آهي آه
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
من رقة الصوت آهين يا بابا
With a voice so tender, oh baby
