آه
Ah
آه يا ليل، يا ليل، يا ليل
Ah, oh night, oh night, oh night
آه
Ah
سيز
Seize
Yeah
Yeah
كان أصلي ما بعتش
I was original, I didn't sell out
زيد ناسي ما وجعتش
Add to my memory, it didn't hurt
يا قلبي قلبي، يا قلبي، قلبي (قلبي)
Oh my heart, my heart, oh my heart, my heart (my heart)
والدنيا ما عطاتش
And the world didn't give anything
بالضحكة ما شبعتش
With laughter, I haven't had my fill
في فلوسكم ما طمعتش
I never coveted your money
يا قلبي، قلبي
Oh my heart, my heart
المحبة ما وفاتش
Love hasn't faded
والدنيا ما خذاتش
And the world hasn't taken it away
يا قلبي قلبي، يا قلبي، قلبي
Oh my heart, my heart, oh my heart, my heart
الحبيبة ما بقاتش
The beloved is no longer around
والصحبة ما بطاتش
And friendship hasn't diminished
من الغدرة ما شفعتش
From betrayal, I haven't been forgiven
يا قلبي، قلبي
Oh my heart, my heart
كذبت عليك الغربة تعبتني (تعبتني)
The loneliness has deceived me, it's worn me down (worn me down)
في روحي نستني (نستني)
In my soul, you forgot me (forgot me)
يا قلبي، قلبي
Oh my heart, my heart
وحدي نعدي في محوني
Alone, I pass through my oblivion
لدوني لزوني ونستني
They bound me, they confined me, and I waited
ماو قلبي فكتلي
But my heart has taken my life away
يا قلبي، قلبي
Oh my heart, my heart
شبيكم هكا ما نعرف
What's wrong with you all, I don't understand
شر عليا la police
The police have brought me trouble
كان للعالي نستعرف
If it's for the high, I would recognize it
من الشارع بش تعرف
From the street, you won't know
وجيعة في البوليس
A pain in the police
فلوس الشيخة اللي صارف
The money of the woman who spends
نحارب فيكم مش خايف
I fight you, not afraid
أنا نعاشر ونوالف
I socialize and get used to it
أنا كيفكم مش شايف
I'm just like you, can't see
وحدي نعدي في ليلي
Alone, I pass through my nights
كثرت علي الغدرة قولي وين الصحبة
Betrayal has increased, tell me where's the company
قولي وش لنديرلك ضهري يحكي
Tell me what to do so my back speaks
في بالي خداولي راحتي مني
In my mind, I feel that my peace is gone
طوالت علي الغربة قولي وين الصحبة
It's been long in this loneliness, tell me where's the companionship
قولي واش لنديرلك ضهري يحكي
Tell me what can I do to ease the burden that's on my back
في بالي خداولي راحتي مني
In my mind, I long for my peace to come back to me
يا غالية (يا غالية) والدنيا فانية (فانية)
Oh precious one (oh precious one), and this world is fleeting (fleeting)
وفلوس الغنية شخديتو مني راحتي في ثانية
And the money of the rich, you took it from me, my peace is gone in a second
يا غالية والدنيا فانية (فانية)
Oh precious one, and this world is fleeting (fleeting)
وفلوس الغنية شخديتو مني راحتي في ثانية
And the money of the rich, you took it from me, my peace is gone in a second
كان أصلي ما بعتش
If it were up to me, I wouldn't have sold out
زيد ناسي ما وجعتش
Plus, increasing my pain didn’t hurt me enough
يا قلبي قلبي، يا قلبي، قلبي
Oh my heart, my heart, oh my heart, my heart
والدنيا ما عطاتش
And the world didn’t give me
بالضحكة ما شبعتش
With laughter, I was never satisfied
في فلوسكم ما طمعتش
I never coveted your money
يا قلبي، قلبي
Oh my heart, my heart
المحبة ما وفاتش
Love hasn’t passed me by
والدنيا ما خذاتش
And the world didn’t take away
يا قلبي قلبي، يا قلبي، قلبي
Oh my heart, my heart, oh my heart, my heart
الحبيبة ما بقاتش
The beloved is no longer here
والصحبة ما بطاتش
And friends haven't stayed
من الغدرة ما شفعتش
From betrayal, there was no mercy
يا قلبي، قلبي
Oh my heart, my heart
دارو فينا هدرة ما سمعت كلامي
They spoke about us, but they didn't hear my words
عملوا فيك وفيا هاذو ما يعيشو
What they did to you and to me, those who don't live
كان بالأسامي
It was all in the names
نو ما نخبي عيوبي نوزن كلامي
But I won’t hide my flaws, I weigh my words
ماو في وجهي خافو وضحكو قدامي
They feared my face and laughed in front of me
كان الوقت يجيبها توا شيسوى جيبها
If time could bring it back, what would it matter now?
قولي وينهم وينك نعرف اللي ناسينك
Tell me where they are, where you are, I know they’ve forgotten you
ما تستنى منهم
Don’t wait for them
وقت الغدرة فينك أيا ويلي منك
In the time of betrayal, where are you, oh woe from you
احنا اللي مواسينك توا مش فاضيلك
We are the ones comforting you now, don't worry about it.
عندي وقتي غالي
My time is precious.
يا قلبي، قلبي (يا قلبي، قلبي)
Oh my heart, my heart (oh my heart, my heart).
يا ناسي حني (يا ناسي حني)
Oh my like, come here (oh my like, come here).
يا محنة فكي كان امي حبي
Oh hardship, let go, I loved you like my mother.
يا سنيني عدي (سنيني عدي) يا فرحة طلي (يا فرحة طلي)
Oh my years, pass by (years pass by), oh joy, appear (oh joy, appear).
يا حزني بري (يا حزني بري)، ما نحكي سري
Oh my sadness, be free (oh my sadness, be free), I won't keep it a secret.
ما تفدوا مني
They won't have my heart.
يا قلبي، قلبي
Oh my heart, my heart.
كان أصلي ما بعتش
If I were true, I wouldn't sell myself.
زيد ناسي ما وجعتش
Zaid, I forgot the pain
يا قلبي قلبي، يا قلبي، قلبي
Oh my heart, my heart, oh my heart, my heart
والدنيا ما عطاتش
And life hasn’t given me much
بالضحكة ما شبعتش
With laughter, I’ve never had enough
في فلوسكم ما طمعتش
I’ve never envied your wealth
يا قلبي، قلبي
Oh my heart, my heart
المحبة ما وفاتش
Love hasn’t faded away
والدنيا ما خذاتش
And life hasn’t taken much
يا قلبي قلبي، يا قلبي، قلبي
Oh my heart, my heart, oh my heart, my heart
الحبيبة ما بقاتش
The beloved is no longer here
والصحبة ما بطاتش
And the companionship didn't fade away,
من الغدرة ما شفعتش
From the betrayal it didn't grant me mercy,
يا قلبي، قلبي
Oh my heart, my heart.
