انتى.بعدك حلوة وصرتى احلى
You, you're still beautiful and have become even more lovely.
شو هالصدفة ما فى احلى
What a coincidence, nothing is sweeter.
وقلبى يشوفك ياما استحلى
And my heart sees you, oh how much it has desired.
قوليلى كيفك انتى
Tell me how you are.
انت.بعدك انت وما بتتغير
You, you are still you and never change.
محيرلى قلبى ومحير
You puzzle my heart and leave me wondering.
وبعدو قلبك طفل صغير
And your heart is still a little child.
طمنى كيفك انت
Reassure me, how are you?
مشين نتذكر ع دروب
We walk and remember along these paths.
ويمرجحنا الغرام
And love rocks us gently.
ليش بعدنا وكيف قدرنا
Why are we still apart and how could we
ننسى هاك الاحﻻم
Forget those dreams
ياليل لبعدو ناطرنا
Oh night, waiting for its return
عمفارق ها الايام
These days are parting us
يارب تدوم ايامنا سوا
Oh God, may our days together last
ويبقى عطول جامعنا الهوا
And may the love always bring us together
يارب تدوم يا رب تدوووم
Oh God, may it last, oh Lord, may it laaast
يارب نعيد هالحب اللى كان
Oh God, let’s revive the love we had
واحلى بكتير من الماضى كمان
And it's so much sweeter than the past, too
يارب نعيش يا رب نعيييش
Oh God, let us live, oh Lord, let us liiiiive
بحبك.بحب عيونك لما بتحكى
I love you. I adore your eyes when you speak.
كيف بترسم هاكى الضحكة
How you draw that smile,
خلى راسك فوقى يتكى
Keep your head resting on me,
ومنملك هلدنيا كلها
And we own this whole world.
بحبك.ومارح انسى اليوم وبكرا
I love you. I won't forget today and tomorrow.
اشتقتلك ما عندك فكرا
I miss you, do you even think of it?
صعبة بعمرى تصافح زكرا
It's hard in my life to shake hands with memories.
يلى من الدنيا اغلى
You, who is the dearest in the world.
