  1. انتى.بعدك حلوة وصرتى احلى

    You, you're still beautiful and have become even more lovely.

  2. شو هالصدفة ما فى احلى

    What a coincidence, nothing is sweeter.

  3. وقلبى يشوفك ياما استحلى

    And my heart sees you, oh how much it has desired.

  4. قوليلى كيفك انتى

    Tell me how you are.

  5. انت.بعدك انت وما بتتغير

    You, you are still you and never change.

  6. محيرلى قلبى ومحير

    You puzzle my heart and leave me wondering.

  7. وبعدو قلبك طفل صغير

    And your heart is still a little child.

  8. طمنى كيفك انت

    Reassure me, how are you?

  1. مشين نتذكر ع دروب

    We walk and remember along these paths.

  2. ويمرجحنا الغرام

    And love rocks us gently.

  3. ليش بعدنا وكيف قدرنا

    Why are we still apart and how could we

  4. ننسى هاك الاحﻻم

    Forget those dreams

  5. ياليل لبعدو ناطرنا

    Oh night, waiting for its return

  6. عمفارق ها الايام

    These days are parting us

  7. يارب تدوم ايامنا سوا

    Oh God, may our days together last

  8. ويبقى عطول جامعنا الهوا

    And may the love always bring us together

  9. يارب تدوم يا رب تدوووم

    Oh God, may it last, oh Lord, may it laaast

  10. يارب نعيد هالحب اللى كان

    Oh God, let’s revive the love we had

  11. واحلى بكتير من الماضى كمان

    And it's so much sweeter than the past, too

  12. يارب نعيش يا رب نعيييش

    Oh God, let us live, oh Lord, let us liiiiive

  13. بحبك.بحب عيونك لما بتحكى

    I love you. I adore your eyes when you speak.

  14. كيف بترسم هاكى الضحكة

    How you draw that smile,

  15. خلى راسك فوقى يتكى

    Keep your head resting on me,

  16. ومنملك هلدنيا كلها

    And we own this whole world.

  17. بحبك.ومارح انسى اليوم وبكرا

    I love you. I won't forget today and tomorrow.

  18. اشتقتلك ما عندك فكرا

    I miss you, do you even think of it?

  19. صعبة بعمرى تصافح زكرا

    It's hard in my life to shake hands with memories.

  20. يلى من الدنيا اغلى

    You, who is the dearest in the world.
