صور حبايبكن
Pictures of your loved ones
فيكن تنسوا
Can you forget them?
صور حبايبكن
Pictures of your loved ones
فيكن تنسوا
Can you forget them?
لون الوردة وورق رسايلكن
The color of the rose and your letters
فيكن تنسوا
Can you forget them?
الخبز، الكلام
The bread, the words
الأسامي، الإيام
The names, the days
والمجد اللي إلكن
And the glory that belongs to you
لكن شو ما صار ما تنسوا وطنكن
But no matter what happens, you can't forget your homeland
ما تنسوا وطنكن، وطنكن
Don't forget your homeland, your homeland
أنا ال بيسموني الملكة
They call me the queen
وبالغار متوج زمني
And in the laurel, I am crowned my time
ومملكتي ما فيها بكي
And my kingdom has no room for tears
وجبيني ولا مرة حني
And my forehead has never bent
ما حني
I have never bent
(أنا ال بيسموني الملكة)
(They call me the queen)
(وبالغار متوج زمني)
(And in the laurel, I am crowned my time)
(ومملكتي ما فيها بكي)
(And my kingdom has no room for tears)
(وجبيني ولا مرة حني)
(And my forehead has never bent)
(ما حني)
(I won't forget)
شعبي دهبي فرحي وغضبي
My people, my gold, my joy, and my anger
بترك صوتي وما بترك وطني
I leave my voice but not my homeland
ما بترك وطنكن
I won't leave your homeland
ما بنسى وطنكن، وطنكن
I won't forget your homeland, your homeland
(فيكن تنسوا)
(You can forget)
(صور حبايبكن)
(Photos of your loved ones)
(فيكن تنسوا)
(You can forget)
(صور حبايبكن)
(Photos of your loved ones)
(فيكن تنسوا)
(You can forget)
(لون الوردة وورق رسايلكن)
The color of the rose and your letters
(فيكن تنسوا)
You can forget
(الخبز، الكلام)
The bread, the words
(الأسامي، الإيام)
The names, the days
(والمجد اللي إلكن)
And the glory that belongs to you
(لكن شو ما صار ما تنسوا وطنكن)
But no matter what happens, you won't forget your homeland
(ما تنسوا وطنكن، وطنكن)
You won't forget your homeland, your homeland
