ونقعد على الجسر العتيق
And we sit on the ancient bridge
وتنزل على السهل الضبابي
And the fog descends on the misty plain
تمحي المدى وتمحي الطريق
It erases the horizon and the path
آه, ما حدا يعرف بمطرحنا
Ah, no one knows our whereabouts
غير السما وورق تشرين
Except for the sky and the autumn leaves
ويقلي بحبك أنا بحبك
And he tells me I love you, I love you
ويهرب فينا الغيم الحزين
And the sad clouds flee from us
يا سنين إللي رحتي إرجعلي
Oh years that have gone, come back to me
إرجعلي شي مرة إرجعيلي
Come back to me just once, come back to me
وإنسيني ع باب الطفولة
And forget me at the door of childhood
تا أركد بشمس الطرقات
To rest under the sun of the streets
يا سنين إللي رحتي إرجعلي
Oh years that have gone, come back to me
إرجعلي شي مرة إرجعيلي
Come back to me just once, return to me
ورديلي ضحكات إللي راحوا
And bring back the laughter of those who have gone
إللي بعدا بزاوايا الساحات
Those still hiding in the corners of the squares
بتذكر شو حكيوا عليا
I remember what they said about me
لما نطرت وأنت نسيت
When I waited and you forgot
وصار الشتا ينزل عليا
And the winter started to fall upon me
وإجى الصيف وإنت ما جيت
And summer came and you did not arrive
يا سنين إللي رحتي إرجعلي
Oh years that have gone, come back to me
إرجعلي شي مرة إرجعيلي
Come back to me just once, come back to me
وإنسيني ع باب الطفولي
And forget me at the door of childhood
تا أركد بشمس الطرقات
To rest under the sun of the streets
يا سنين إللي رحتي إرجعلي
Oh, years that have passed, come back to me
إرجعلي شي مرة إرجعيلي
Come back to me just once, come back to me
ورديلي ضحكات إللي راحوا
Return to me the laughter of those who have gone
إللي بعدا بزاوايا الساحات
Those who remain in the corners of the squares
