بإيام البرد وإيام الشتي
In the days of cold and wintery weather,
والرصيف بحيرة
And the sidewalk is a lake,
والشارع غريق
And the street is flooded,
تجي هاك البنت
Here comes that girl,
من بيتها العتيق
From her ancient home,
ويقل لها انطريني
And he says to her, 'Wait for me,'
وتنطر ع الطريق
And she waits by the road,
ويروح وينساها
And he leaves and forgets her,
وتدبل بالشتي
And she wilts in the winter,
حبيتك بالصيف
I loved you in the summer.
حبيتك بالشتي
I loved you in the winter
نطرتك بالصيف
I waited for you in the summer
نطرتك بالشتي
I waited for you in the winter
وعيونك الصيف
And your eyes are summer
وعيوني الشتي
And my eyes are winter
ملقانا يا حبيبي
Our meeting, oh my beloved
خلف الصيف وخلف الشتي
Behind summer and behind winter
مرقت الغريبة
The stranger passed by
عطيتني رسالة
You gave me a message
كتبها حبيبي
Written by my beloved
بالدمع الحزين
With tears of sorrow
فتحت الرسالة
I opened the letter
حروفها ضايعين
Its letters have vanished
ومرقت إيام وغربتنا سنين
Days have passed, and our exile has lasted for years
وحروف الرسالة محيها الشتي
And the letters of the message are washed away by the rain
حبيتك بالصيف
I loved you in the summer
حبيتك بالشتي، آه
I loved you in the winter, ah
نطرتك بالصيف
I waited for you in the summer
نطرتك بالشتي
I waited for you in the winter
وعيونك الصيف
And your eyes are summer
وعيوني الشتي
And my eyes of winter
ملقانا يا حبيبي
Our meeting, oh my love
خلف الصيف وخلف الشتي
Behind summer and behind winter
خلف الصيف
Behind summer
وخلف الشتي
And behind winter
