بغيابك لاعبت الشوق وغلبني، وغلبني
In your absence, longing played with me, and it conquered me, it conquered me.
وآه منه الشوق، ما بقيتش أنا قد بعادك، ولا قلبي قد الشوق
Oh, the ache of longing, I'm no longer strong enough for your distance, nor is my heart strong enough for the yearning.
لما يفكرني بعينيك دوبني، دوبني، ولو تعرف سحر عينيك
When you make me remember with your eyes, it melts me, melts me, and if you only knew the magic of your eyes.
يا اللي مطول بعنادك، قلبك ما يهونش عليك
Oh, you who are stubborn for so long, your heart doesn’t heed your pain.
قول للقمر إن البعاد بيعذب العشاق، طب ليه يعذبني؟
Tell the moon that distance torments lovers, so why does it have to torment me?
زي البحر لو جيت معاه بعناد موجه يغرقني
Like the sea, if I come to you with the stubbornness of a wave, it will drown me.
قول للقمر إن البعاد بيعذب العشاق، ما بلاش يعذبني
Tell the moon that distance torments lovers, please don’t let it torment me.
زي البحر لو جيت معاه بعناد موجه يغرقني
Like the sea, if I come to you with the stubbornness of a wave, it will drown me.
قول لو كلمة يا حبيبي طمني
Just say a word, my love, reassure me.
تطمني وترد ليا الروح
Reassure me and bring my soul back to me.
طب أشوفك بس وأروح
Just let me see you and then I'll go
يا واحشني
Oh, I miss you
"أيوه"
"Yeah"
بغيابك لاعبت الشوق وغلبني، وغلبني
In your absence, longing played with me, and it overwhelmed me, it overwhelmed me
وآه منه الشوق، ما بقيتش أنا قد بعادك، ولا قلبي قد الشوق
Oh, that longing, I can no longer bear your distance, nor can my heart withstand the desire
لما يفكرني بعينيك دوبني، دوبني، ولو تعرف سحر عينيك
When you look at me with your eyes, it melts me, melts me, if only you knew the magic of your eyes
يا اللي مطول بعنادك، قلبك ما يهونش عليك
Oh, you who prolongs your stubbornness, your heart doesn't take pity on you
