بتذكر آخر مرة شفتك سنتا
I remember the last time I saw you, Santa
بتذكر وقتا آخر كلمة قلتا
I remember the last words you said
وما عدت شفتك
And I haven't seen you since
وهلق شفتك
And now I see you
كيفك إنت ملا إنت
How are you? Oh, it's you
بتذكر آخر سهره سهرتا عنا
I remember the last night you stayed awake with us
بتذكر كان في وحدة مضايق منا
I remember there was a girl bothered by us
هيدي إمي
This is my mother
بتعتل همي
She worries about me
منك إنتا ملا إنتا
Because of you, oh, it's you
كيفك قال عم بيقولوا صار عندك ولاد
How are you, they say you have kids now
أنا والله كنت مفكرتك برات البلاد
I swear, I thought you were out of the country
كيفك قال عم بيقولوا صار عندك ولاد
How are you, they say you have kids now
أنا والله كنت مفكرتك برات البلاد
I swear, I thought you were out of the country
شو بدي بالبلاد
What do I want in the country
الله يخلي الولاد
May God protect the kids
إي كيفك إنت ملا إنت
Eh-eh, how are you, you know you
بيطلع عبالي
I feel like it
إرجع أنا وياك
Come back, me and you
إنت حلالي
You are my heart's desire
إرجع أنا وياك
Come back, just you and me
أنا وانت ملا إنت
It's you and I, oh, it's you
بيطلع عبالي
I keep thinking about you
إرجع أنا وياك
Come back, just you and me
أنا وانت ملا إنت
It's you and I, oh, it's you
بتذكر آخر مرة شو قلتلي
I remember the last time you talked to me
بدك ضلي بدك فيكي تفلي
You want to stay, but you also want to leave
زعلت بوقتا
I was upset back then
وما حللتا
And you didn’t let me
إنو إنت هيدا إنت
That it's you, yes, it's you
بترجع؟ ع راسي
Are you coming back? On my head
رغم العيل والناس
Despite the families and the people
إنتا الأساسي
You're the essential one
وبحبك بالأساس
And I love you at the core
بحبك إنت ملا إنت
I love you, you alone
رغم العيل والناس
Despite the families and the people
إنتا الأساسي
You're the essential one
وبحبك بالأساس
And I love you at the core
بحبك إنت ملا إنت
I love you, you alone
هيدا إنت
This is you
ملا إنت
Oh, you're the one
بحبك إنت
I love you, it's you
