أشهد بالله (يا بابا)
I bear witness by God (oh Dad)
ما عشقت سواه يا بابا
I've loved none but you, oh Dad
جرح الحبيب (يا بابا)
The wound of the beloved (oh Dad)
علاش صعيب؟ (يا بابا)
Why is it so difficult? (oh Dad)
وش حالي فيه؟ (يا بابا)
What's my state in this? (Oh, Daddy)
ملهوف عليه (يا بابا)
I'm longing for him (Oh, Daddy)
وأشهد بالله (يا بابا)
And I swear by God (Oh, Daddy)

I've loved no one but him
ونجيك يا سيدي
And we'll come to you, my master
(ونجيك يا سيدي)
(And we'll come to you, my master)
بشموع في إيدي
With candles in my hands
(بشموع في ايدي)
(With candles in my hands)
والنار في ڤلبي
And the fire in my heart
(والنار في ڤلبي)
(And the fire in my heart)
تحرڤ وريدي
You ignite my veins
تحرڤ وريدي
You ignite my veins

(My master Mansour, oh Daddy, we come to visit you, Daddy)
وكحيلة العين (يا بابا)
With eyes like charcoal (oh Daddy)
حلو الخدين (يا بابا)
Sweet cheeks (oh Daddy)
حلو ومغرور (يا بابا)
Lovely and conceited (oh Daddy)
وعيونه بحور (يا بابا)
And his eyes are oceans (oh Daddy)
وغرڤت معاه (يا بابا)
And I drowned with him (oh Daddy)
عذبني جفاه (يا بابا)
His indifference tortured me (oh, daddy)
وكحيلة العين (يا بابا)
With eyes that mesmerize (oh, daddy)
خد ڤلبي لفين؟
Where has my heart gone?
سيدي واسيني
Oh my master, console me
(سيدي واسيني)
(Oh my master, console me)
إحكي وحاكيني
Speak to me and tell me everything
(إحكي وحاكيني)
(Speak to me and tell me everything)
صبر لي حالي
Be patient with my state
(صبر لي حالي)
(Be patient with my state)
على اللي ناسيني
For those who have forgotten me
على اللي ناسيني
For the one who has forgotten me
(الله الله يا بابا والسلام عليك يا بابا)
