تعب الشوق lyrics with English translation

سلم يا حب عاللي غاب عني وراح

Salute, O love, to the one who has gone from me and departed.

قله ما نسيت حبه نهار، لا ما نسيت

Tell him I haven't forgotten his love, not for a day, no, I haven't forgotten.

قله هالقلب بعده صار كله جراح

Tell him this heart still carries nothing but wounds.

مهما قسي أنا ما قدرت يوم قسيت

No matter how cruel I was, I couldn't be cruel even for a day.

قله العمر من بعده شو بينفعني

Tell him what good is life for me without him?

لو ضله بعيد أندهله ما يسمعني

Even if he stays far away, I call him, but he doesn't hear me.

يرجع شي يوم ويرحمني من هالعذاب

He'll return one day and relieve me from this torment.

صارله كتير مسهرني

It's been too long that he's kept me awake at night.

تعب الشوق يشتاقله وتعب القلب يندهله

The exhaustion of longing aches for him, and my heart calls out to him.

وقلبي ما حب من قبله، لا

And my heart hasn't loved anyone before him, no.

عندي حنين لعيونه وعمري لمين من دونه

I have a longing for his eyes, and my life is for whom without him

وإن مرقوا سنين ما بخونه ولو خانوا كل العشاق

And even if years pass, I won't betray him, even if all lovers turn on each other

تعب الشوق يشتاقله وتعب القلب يندهله

The weariness of longing calls for him, and the tired heart yearns for him

وقلبي ما حب من قبله، لا

And my heart has not loved anyone before him, no

عندي حنين لعيونه وعمري لمين من دونه

I have a longing for his eyes, and my life is for whom without him

وإن مرقوا سنين ما بخونه ولو خانوا كل العشاق

And even if years pass, I won't betray him, even if all lovers turn on each other

وعدي إله مهما بقى عني بعيد

My promise to him, no matter how far he may be from me

يبقى معي رفيق الروح مهما غاب

He remains my soul's companion, no matter how long he’s gone

قلبي معه حتى إن ترك قلبي وحيد

My heart is with him, even if it leaves my heart alone

ناطر أنا رجوعه إلي يمحي العذاب

I am waiting for his return to erase the suffering

قله العمر من بعده شو بينفعني

Tell me, after him, what will benefit me?

لو ضله بعيد أندهله ما يسمعني

If he stays far away, I call out to him but he doesn't hear me.

يرجع شي يوم ويرحمني من هالعذاب

Will he return one day and relieve me from this agony?

صارله كتير مسهرني

It's been a long time keeping me awake.

تعب الشوق يشتاقله وتعب القلب يندهله

The fatigue of longing aches for him, and the tired heart calls out to him.

وقلبي ما حب من قبله، لا

And my heart hadn't loved before him, no.

عندي حنين لعيونه وعمري لمين من دونه

I have a longing for his eyes, and my life has no meaning without him.

إن مرقوا سنين ما بخونه ولو خانوا كل العشاق

Even if years go by, I won't betray him, even if all lovers do.

تعب الشوق يشتاقله وتعب القلب يندهله

The fatigue of longing aches for him, and the tired heart calls out to him.

وقلبي ما حب من قبله، لا (من قبله لا)

And my heart hadn't loved before him, no (not before him, no).

عندي حنين لعيونه وعمري لمين من دونه

I have a yearning for his eyes, and my life is for whom without him

إن مرقوا سنين ما بخونه ولو خانوا كل العشاق

Even if years pass, I won't betray him, even if all lovers betray

تعب الشوق يشتاقله وتعب القلب يندهله

The fatigue of longing craves him, and the weariness of my heart calls for him

وقلبي ما حب من قبله، لا

And my heart hasn't loved anyone before him, no

عندي حنين لعيونه وعمري لمين من دونه

I have a yearning for his eyes, and my life is for whom without him

إن مرقوا سنين ما بخونه ولو خانوا كل العشاق

Even if years pass, I won't betray him, even if all lovers betray
