الجمسي lyrics with English translation

لمن كحلتي لعيون مافكرتي بكليبيا

To whom did you apply kohl for, without thinking of me in Libya?

ضربتيني بجلايا وهديتي حيل البيا

You struck me with your beauty and left me with no strength remaining.

ومن الجسر لتعلق وانزل على حبيبا

And from the bridge, I linger, descending down to my beloved.

وارد الحك الغنامة

And I bear the weight of the grief.

جمسي ومعلي الجامة

My camels and I are high above.

اون وكلبي متعوب

Oh, and my dog is worn out.

ليلي بعد ماناما

My night is still awake after it has slept.

غرامج الله يبلي

Your love, God, puts me to the test.

نص الدرب عفتيني يادنمت الندامة

Half the road, you made me forget, oh, the regret creeps in.

لف الكلب لف يهي خل دمي نشف

Wrap around, oh dog, let me bleed until my blood runs dry.

تعبتني بشوك وبحضني بحرالعشق جف

You've exhausted me with thorns, and in my embrace, the sea of love has dried up.

جف وشبك جف صفه شامت يدك دم

Dried up, and your entanglement dried up, your hands triumph with blood.

من شافني وياج وجف شبك جف

Whoever saw me with you, that entanglement dried up.

والله وكفن يولن يدموع من البجي يويليا

I swear, the shroud of sorrow spills tears from my eyes, oh woe.

حبيتها وعلى الشوك متعذب موبيديا

I loved her, and I'm tortured on the thorns, oh my pain.

والله لسوي انزل وله بحضن حبيبا

I swear, I'll descend and sink into the embrace of my beloved.

وارد الحك الجمالة وافزع واعيش الحاله

I'm wrapped in beauty, panicking, and living in this state.

مسودن وعقلي مسوس وعيني دمع حمالة

Darkened and my mind is scattered, my eyes carry heavy tears.

ياويلي كلبي متعوب وكعو بشر اعمالة

Oh wretched me, my heart is weary, and the actions of people weigh down on me.

مملوح وجهي الحليو ماينسي جمالة

Charming, my beautiful face doesn't forget its splendor.

شد الحضن شد ابد لايهمج احد

Embrace me tight, never let go, let no one else matter.

شوفيني مخنوك اطيني منج ولو رد

See me, I'm enchanted, give me a little of you, even if it's just a word.

من ضلج ابعد ترى باب الهوى انسد

If I'm troubled, stay away, for the door to love is closed.

من شافني وياج ولجف شبك جف

Whoever saw me with you, they’ve been left speechless, their heart runs dry.
