يا رايح قول لحبيبي اشتقنا
Oh, traveler, tell my beloved we miss him
يا رايح بيعرف حبيبي مطرحنا
Oh, traveler, my beloved knows our place
يا رايح قول لحبيبي اشتقنا
Oh, traveler, tell my beloved we miss him
يا رايح بيعرف حبيبي مطرحنا
Oh, traveler, my beloved knows our place
خلف الجبل البعيد
Behind the distant mountain
بلكي بيجي عالعيد
Maybe he'll come for the feast
بحس الشوق الي فيا
I feel the longing within me
يا رايح
Oh, traveler
خلف الجبل البعيد
Behind the distant mountain
بلكي بيجي عالعيد
Maybe he'll come for the feast
بحس الشوق الي فيا
I feel the longing inside me,
يا رايح
Oh, you who's leaving,
عم اغفا على شوق و لهفه عم اغفا
I’m drifting into sleep on this yearning and excitement, I'm drifting,
ع الملقى ناطر حبيبي ع الملقى
At the meeting place, waiting for my love at the meeting place,
و عم اغفا على شوق و لهفه عم اغفا
And I'm drifting into sleep on this yearning and excitement, I'm drifting,
ع الملقى ناطر حبيبي ع الملقى
At the meeting place, waiting for my love at the meeting place,
بكرا البعد بروح
Tomorrow the distance will fade away,
بيعرف دوا الجروح
It knows the cure for my wounds,
و يطفي النار الي فيا
And it douses the fire within me,
يا رايح
Oh, you who's leaving,
بكرا البعد بروح
Tomorrow the distance will fade away
بيعرف دوا الجروح
It knows the cure for the wounds
و يطفي النار الي فيا
And it quells the fire within me
يا رايح
Oh you who are leaving
ياليلي دخلك لا تخلص يا ليلي
Oh night, please don't come to an end, oh night
ع الميلي بعدو ناطرنا ع الميلي
On the incline, it's still waiting for us on the incline
ياليلي دخلك لا تخلص يا ليلي
Oh night, please don't come to an end, oh night
ع الميلي بعدو ناطرنا ع الميلي
On the incline, it's still waiting for us on the incline
و هب الهوى من الجنوب
And the breeze blew in from the south
نسم على المحبوب
A whisper to the beloved
ردتلي الروح الي فيا
You brought back the soul within me
يا رايح
Oh, you who are departing
و هب الهوى من الجنوب
And the breeze blows from the south
نسم على المحبوب
A whisper to the beloved
ردتلي الروح الي فيا
You brought back the soul within me
يا رايح
Oh, you who are departing
