بتمون عضحكي أنا بتمون
I'm just a heartbeat, I just am
بتمون عالدمعة وإلك بتمون
I'm just on the tear, and for you I just am
بتمون يا قلبي
I just am, oh my heart
عينك على قلبي
Your eyes are on my heart
ما كان يمكن لو ما إنت تكون
It couldn't be if it weren't for you
معذور لو جن القلب معذور
Forgive me if the heart goes wild, forgive me
بعيون عم تغزل حلا معذور
In eyes that weave sweetness, forgive me
مين اللي ما بيحبك
Who doesn't love you?
يا ويلي من قلبك
Oh woe is me from your heart
مغرور قلبك
Your heart is so proud
يا حلو مغرور
Oh sweet, you conceited one
بتمون على الدقة
You have control over the rhythm
و لولا القلب شو بيبقى
And without the heart, what remains?
حبيبى إن غبت راح بشقى
My love, if you’re gone, I’ll suffer
راح بشقى ...
I’ll suffer...
عينك على قلبي
Your eyes on my heart
شوي شوي واتوقى
Slowly, slowly, I’ll take cover
قلبي حنون ما بيلقى
My heart is tender, it can’t find peace
ما بيلقى ...
It can’t find peace...
بتمون على الدقة
You have control over the rhythm
و لولا القلب شو بيبقى
And without the heart, what remains?
حبيبى إن غبت راح بشقى
My love, if you’re gone, I’ll suffer in pain.
راح بشقى ...
I’ll suffer in pain...
عينك على قلبي
Your gaze upon my heart.
شوي شوي واتوقى
Little by little, I hold on tight.
قلبي حنون ما بيلقى
My heart is tender; it finds no peace.
ما بيلقى ...
It finds no peace...
بتمون
You can count on me.
"""""
ما بخون لو حبك إلي بتخون
I won’t betray, even if your love betrays.
بجنون شو بحبك أنا بجنون
Oh crazy, how much I love you, it's insane.
بتمون يا عمري
You have control, my love.
قلبي مش بأمري
My heart isn't in my hands.
صفا بأمرك هالقلب مرهون
This heart, bound to you, is settled under your command.
معذور لو جن القلب معذور
Forgiven if the heart goes crazy, forgiven.
بعيون عم تغزل حلا معذور
In eyes that weave sweetness, forgiven.
مين اللي ما بيحبك
Who doesn't love you?
يا ويلي من قلبك
Oh woe is me from your heart.
مغرور قلبك
Your heart is so proud.
يا حلو مغرور
Oh sweet, so proud.
بتمون على الدقة
You’re relying on precision,
و لولا القلب شو بيبقى
And without the heart, what remains?
حبيبى إن غبت راح بشقى
My love, if you’re gone, I’ll suffer,
راح بشقى ...
I’ll suffer...
عينك على قلبي
Your eyes are on my heart,
شوي شوي واتوقى
Slowly, slowly, and I’ll be careful.
قلبي حنون ما بيلقى
My heart is tender, it won’t find,
ما بيلقى ...
It won’t find...
بتمون على الدقة
You’re relying on precision,
و لولا القلب شو بيبقى
And without the heart, what remains?
حبيبى إن غبت راح بشقى
My love, if you're gone, my heart aches
راح بشقى ...
It aches...
عينك على قلبي
Your eyes on my heart
شوي شوي واتوقى
Slowly, slowly, I take precautions
قلبي حنون ما بيلقى
My heart is tender, it finds no peace
ما بيلقى ...
It finds no peace...
بتمون
You can count on me
