طل و سألني
He appeared and asked me
إذا نيسان دق الباب
If April knocks on the door
خبيت وجيي
I hid my face
وطار البيت في و غاب
And the house flew away from me and vanished
طل و سألني
He appeared and asked me
إذا نيسان دق الباب
If April knocks on the door
خبيت وجيي
I hid my face
وطار البيت في و غاب
And the house flew away from me and vanished
حبيت افتحله
I wanted to open the door for him
ع الحب اشرحله
I explain love to him
طليت ما لقيت
I looked out but found nothing,
غير الورد عند الباب
Only the roses by the door.
بعدك على بالي
You're still on my mind,
يا قمر الحلوين
Oh moon of the lovely ones,
يا زهرة تشرين
Oh flower of October,
يا دهبي الغالي
Oh my precious gold,
بعدك على بالي
You're still on my mind,
يا حلو يا مغرور
Oh sweet one, oh vain one,
يا حبق و منتور
Oh basil and perfume,
على سطح العالي
On the high rooftop.
بعدك على بالي
You're always on my mind
يا قمر الحلوين
Oh moon of the sweet ones
يا زهرة تشرين
Oh flower of October
يا دهبي الغالي
Oh precious gold of mine
بعدك على بالي
You're always on my mind
يا حلو يا مغرور
Oh sweet, oh vain one
يا حبق و منتور
Oh basil and mint
على سطح العالي
On the high rooftop
مرق الصيف بمواعيده
Summer passed with its timelines
والهوى لملم عناقيده
And love gathered its grapes
مرق الصيف بمواعيده
The summer passed with its promises,
والهوى لملم عناقيده
And love gathered its embraces,
و ما عرفنا خبر
And we haven't heard any news,
عنك يا قمر
About you, oh moon,
و لا حدا لوحلنا بإيده
And no one has held our bond in their hands.
بتطل الليالي
The nights appear,
و بتروح الليالي
And the nights fade away,
و بعدك على بالي
And still, you're on my mind,
بعدك على بالي
You're still on my mind,
يا قمر الحلوين
Oh sweet moon.
يا زهرة تشرين
O flower of October
يا دهبي الغالي
O precious gold of mine
بعدك على بالي
You're always on my mind
يا حلو يا مغرور
O sweet one, so adored
يا حبق و منتور
O basil and mint
على سطح العالي
On the high rooftop
