إذا مر يوم ولم أتذكر
If a day passes and I don't remember,
به أن أقول صباحك سكر
That I should say your morning is sweet.
صباحك سكر
Your morning is sweet.
صباحك سكر
Your morning is sweet.
إذا مر يوم ولم أتذكر
If a day passes and I don't remember,
به أن أقول صباحك سكر
That I should say your morning is sweet.
(إذا مر يوم ولم أتذكر)
(If a day passes and I don't remember,)
(به أن أقول صباحك سكر)
(That I should say your morning is sweet.)
فلا تحزني من ذهولي وصمتي
So don't be sad from my astonishment and silence,
ولا تحسبي أن شيئا تغير
And don't think that anything has changed.
فحين أنا لا أقول أحبك
So when I don't say I love you
فحين أنا لا أقول أحبك
So when I don't say I love you
فمعناه أني أحبك أكثر
It means I love you even more
(صباحك سكر)
(Good morning, sweetness)
اه، صباحك سكر
Ah, good morning, sweetness
إذا ما جلست طويلا أمامي
If you don't sit long in front of me
ك مملكة من عبير ومرمر
Like a kingdom of fragrance and marble
وأغمضت عن طيباتك عيني
And I close my eyes to your delights
وأهملت شكوى القميص المعطر
And neglect the complaint of the scented shirt
(إذا ما جلست طويلا أمامي)
(If you don't sit long in front of me)
ك مملكة من عبير ومرمر
Like a kingdom of fragrance and marble
(وأغمضت عن طيباتك عيني)
(And I closed my eyes to your sweet delights)
وأهملت شكوى القميص المعطر
And I ignored the complaint of the scented shirt
فلا تنعتيني بموت الشعور
So don't label me with a death of feeling
ولا تحسبي أن قلبي تحجر
And don't assume my heart has turned to stone
أحبك فوق المحبة لكن
I love you beyond love, but
دعيني أراك كما أتصور
Let me see you as I imagine
صباحك سكر
Your morning is honey
صباحك سكر
Your morning is honey
إذا مر يوم ولم أتذكر
If a day passes and I don't remember
به أن أقول صباحك سكر
With that, I say your morning is sweet
صباحك سكر
Your morning is sweet
صباحك سكر
Your morning is sweet
