إليسا . عبالي حبيبي
Elissa. I think of my beloved
"""""
عبالي حبيبي
I think of my beloved
عبالي حبيبي إغمرك ما اتركك
I think of my beloved, I'll drown you, I won't leave you
إسرقك ما ارجعك
I'll steal you, I won't return you
إحبسك ما اطلعك من قلبي ولا يوم
I'll lock you away, never let you out of my heart, not for a day
أخطفلك نظرات، ضحكاتك حركاتك
I'll snatch your glances, your laughter, your movements
علقهم بغرفتي، نيمهم عفرشتي
Hang them in my room, lay them on my bed
أحلمهن بغفوتي تا يحلي بعيني النوم
I'll dream of them in my slumber, to sweeten the sleep in my eyes
عبالي حبيبي
I think of my beloved
ليلة إلبسلك الأبيض
On the night I wear white for you
و اصير ملكك و الدنيا تشهد
And I become yours, and the world bears witness
و جيب منك انت طفلك انت، مثلك انت
Bring me a child of yours, like you, just like you
عبالي حبيبي
I think of my beloved
اعيش حتى عمره و أكثر
I want to live even longer than a lifetime
و حب يكبر كل ما نكبر
And love grows every time we grow
و اشيب لما تشيب، عمري يغيب لما تغيب
And I turn gray when you turn gray, my age fades when you fade
عبالي حبيبي
I think of my beloved
"""""
عبالي تكملني و إسمك تحملني
I think you complete me, and your name carries me
بقلبك تخبيني، من الدنيا تحميني
In your heart you hide me, protecting me from the world,
و تمحي من سنيني كل لحظة عشتها بلاك
And you erase from my years every moment lived without you.
عبالي تجرحني لحتى تصالحني
I wish you'd hurt me just to make up with me,
بلمسة حنونة، بغمرة مجنونة
With a tender touch, in a crazy embrace.
و ما اغمض عيوني إلا أنا وياك
And I won't close my eyes except with you by my side.
عبالي حبيبي
I wish, my darling,
ليلة إلبسلك الأبيض
On that night, I'll wear your white,
و اصير ملكك و الدنيا تشهد
And I will become yours, with the world as our witness.
و جيب منك انت طفلك انت، مثلك انت
And bring from you your child, just like you,
عبالي حبيبي
I wish, my darling.
اعيش حتى عمره و أكثر
I live until eternity and beyond
و حب يكبر كل ما نكبر
And love grows as we grow
و اشيب لما تشيب، عمري يغيب لما تغيب
And I grow gray when you grow old, my life fades when you fade away
عبالي حبيبي
I think of my darling
