قلب في الدفاتر تلقى الشعر بيحكي عنا فاكر
A heart in the notebooks finds the poetry talking about us, remember?
أيام ما كنا بنحلم نبقى تحت ضل ساتر
The days when we dreamed of staying under the shade of a shelter.
قل اللي بيننا بالأيام وصبح كلامنا فاتر
Say what was between us in those days, and now our words feel cold.
مش لاقي حد غيرك حتى في البعاد أغازل
I can't find anyone but you, even in distance I flirt.
قلب في الدفاتر تلقى الشعر بيحكي عنا فاكر
A heart in the notebooks finds the poetry talking about us, remember?
أيام ما كنا بنحلم نبقى تحت ضل ساتر
The days when we dreamed of staying under the shade of a shelter.
قل اللي بيننا بالأيام وصبح كلامنا فاتر
Say what was between us in those days, and now our words feel cold.
مش لاقي حد غيرك حتى في البعاد أغازل
I can't find anyone but you, even in distance I flirt.
آخر الطريق ملاقيتش غير لحني حزين
At the end of the road, I found nothing but my sad melody.
جف البكى من فرط صبري ع السنين
Tears have dried from my overflowing patience through the years.
صدق اللي قاللك إن بعض العشق دين
Believe what they told you, that some love is a debt.
جف البكى معادش باقي في عيني شيء
The tears have dried; nothing remains in my eyes.
آخر الطريق ملاقيتش غير لحني حزين
At the end of the road, I found nothing but my sorrowful melody.
جف البكى من فرط صبري ع السنين
The tears have dried from the weight of my patience over the years.
صدق اللي قاللك إن بعض العشق دين
Believe what they told you, that some love is a debt.
جف البكى معادش باقي في عيني شيء
The tears have dried; nothing remains in my eyes.
غريبة عاشقك حتى وأنتي مش هنا
Strangely, I still love you even when you're not here.
أنا لسه باقي عاللي بيننا، صورنا لسه تدلنا
I'm still holding onto what we have; our pictures still guide me.
كانت الشوارع في شتا الليالي تملنا
The streets were in winter, and the nights were overwhelming.
قلبي متيم بيكي يشهد عليا ربنا
My heart is infatuated with you; God bears witness to my longing.
وغريبة عاشقك حتى وأنتي مش هنا
And it's strange, my love for you lingers even when you're not here
أنا لسه باقي عاللي بيننا، صورنا لسه تدلنا
I'm still holding on to what we had, our pictures still tell our story
كانت الشوارع في شتا الليالي تملنا
The streets were empty in the winter nights, they embraced us
قلبي متيم بيكي يشهد عليا ربنا
My heart is enamored with you, may God bear witness to me
أنت صبرك كله خير
You're all patience and goodness
أنت حزنك أبقى غير
Your sorrow makes me different
أنت أعمى بس طير
You're blind but you soar
على أي مرسى يوماتي ترسى
On which shore do you dock every day?
أنت فوقت ولا لسه؟
Are you awake or still lost?
والليل سهرلك خوف
And the night stays awake for your fear
البن ليك موصوف
The coffee for you is described
النور محاوطك شوف
The light surrounds you, see
ولا بعيد لسه؟
Or is it still far?
رديت وقولت: "انسى"
I replied and said: 'Forget it'
أنت صبرك كله خير
Your patience is all good
أنت حزنك أبقى غير
Your sadness is something else
أنت أعمى بس طير
You’re blind but a bird
على أي مرسى يوماتي ترسى
On which dock do you anchor daily?
أنت فوقت ولا لسه؟
Are you awake or still asleep?
والليل سهرلك خوف
And the night stays awake for your fear
البن ليك موصوف
The coffee for you is described,
النور محاوطك شوف
The light surrounds you, just look.
ولا بعيد لسه؟
Or is it still far away?
رديت وقولت: "انسى"
I replied, saying: 'Forget it.'
صفر اللي جالك من شمالك زادك شيء
The emptiness that came to you from your left gave you something.
جمعك فأصبحت تبكي من لا شيء
Your gathering made you cry over nothing.
صفر اللي جالك من يمينك غمى عليك
The emptiness that came to you from your right clouded your mind.
بقيت تزهد نفس الهوا من بعد عطش الليل
You started to despise the same air after the thirst of night.
صفر اللي جالك من شمالك زادك شيء
The emptiness that came to you from your left gave you something.
جمعك فأصبحت تبكي من لا شيء
Your gathering made you cry over nothing.
صفر اللي جالك من يمينك غمى عليك
The zero that came to you from your right blinded you.
بقيت تزهد نفس الهوا من بعد عطش الليل
You started to shun the same air after the thirst of the night.
بقينا فين؟ (بقينا فين؟)
Where have we remained? (Where have we remained?)
الروح تشتاق، تتمنى نظرة عين
The soul longs, yearning for a glance from your eyes.
آه، وبقينا فين؟
Ah, and where have we remained?
آه، الروح تشتاق، تتمنى نظرة عين
Ah, the soul longs, yearning for a glance from your eyes.
قوللي أنت فين؟
Tell me, where are you?
آخر الطريق ملاقيتش غير لحني حزين
At the end of the road, I found nothing but my sad melody.
جف البكى من فرط صبري ع السنين
Tears have dried from the weight of my patience over the years.
صدق اللي قاللك إن بعض العشق دين
Believe the one who told you that some love is a debt.
جف البكى معادش باقي في عيني شيء
The tears have dried up, there's nothing left in my eyes.
آخر الطريق ملاقيتش غير لحني حزين
At the end of the road, I found nothing but my sorrowful tune.
جف البكى من فرط صبري ع السنين
The tears have dried from the overflow of my patience through the years.
صدق اللي قاللك إن بعض العشق دين
Believe the one who told you that some love is a debt.
جف البكى معادش باقي في عيني شيء
The tears have dried up, there's nothing left in my eyes.
