لا تجي اليوم ولا تجي بكره
Don't come today, don't come tomorrow
لا تجي اليوم ولا تجي بكره
Don't come today, don't come tomorrow
مش لنا الزينة وبيارق المدينة
The city’s adornment isn’t for us
نحن لنا ورق الخريف اللي عم بيدهب مراكب الرصيف
We have autumn leaves that drift along the pier
غير أنت وأنا، غير أنت وأنا
Except for you and me, except for you and me
غير أنت وأنا يا حبيبي، يا حبيبي ما لنا
Except for you and me, oh my love, oh my love, we have nothing
لا تجي اليوم ولا تجي بكره
Don't come today, don't come tomorrow
لا تجي اليوم ولا تجي بكره
Don't come today, don't come tomorrow
خوفي لا تضيعني بالعيد ما تقشعني
I'm afraid you’ll lose me amidst the holiday, don’t forsake me
تعا لما بينده الحنين، موسم الناس المنسيين
Come, let the nostalgia call, it's the season for forgotten people
أنت المدي قبلك ما حدا وبعدك ما حدا
You're the horizon, before you there was none, after you there will be none.
يا حبيبي، يا حبيبي ما حدا
Oh my darling, oh my darling, there's no one else.
أنت وجاي يا حبيبي
It's you and you're coming, oh my darling.
لا تجي بالشمس بيلحقك خيالك
Don't come in the sunlight, your shadow will follow you.
آه أنت وجاي يا حبيبي
Ah, it's you and you're coming, oh my darling.
لا تجي بالشمس بيلحقك خيالك
Don't come in the sunlight, your shadow will follow you.
تعا بالضبابي تعا بلا خيال، تعا بلا خيال
Come in the fog, come without a shadow, come without a shadow.
أنا خيالك، أنا خيالك
I am your shadow, I am your shadow.
آه لا تجي اليوم ولا تجي بكره
Ah, don't come today and don't come tomorrow.
لا تجي اليوم ولا تجي بكره
Don't come today and don't come tomorrow.
مش لنا الزينة وبيارق المدينة
The beauty of the city isn't for us,
نحن لنا ورق الخريف اللي عم بيدهب مراكب الرصيف
We have the autumn leaves that drift like boats on the dock.
وغير أنت وأنا، غير أنت وأنا
Except for you and me, except for you and me,
غير أنت وأنا يا حبيبي، يا حبيبي ما لنا
Except for you and me, my darling, my darling, we have nothing.
لا تجي اليوم
Don't come today,
لا تجي اليوم
Don't come today,
لا تجي اليوم
Don't come today.
