وأمانة عليكي تقولي له حالي إيه
And I trust you to tell him how I feel
من يوم غيابه روحي رايحة عليه
Since the day he left, my soul yearns for him
ما نامتش عيوني وإن ناموا بيحلموا بيه
My eyes haven't slept, and if they do, they dream of him
يا ليالي روحي لحبيبي وناديه
Oh nights, carry my soul to my beloved and call him
وأمانة عليكي تقولي له حالي إيه
And I trust you to tell him how I feel
من يوم غيابه روحي رايحة عليه
Since the day he left, my soul yearns for him
ما نامتش عيوني وإن ناموا بيحلموا بيه
My eyes haven't slept, and if they do, they dream of him
يا ليالي روحي له، عن شوقي وناري احكي له
Oh nights, bring my soul to him, speak of my longing and my fire
يا يجيلي يا إما أجيله، مش قادرة في بعده أعيش
Either he comes to me or I go to him, I can't live in his absence
وقولي له كفاية ويخلي لبعده نهاية
And tell him it's enough, let there be an end to this distance
مش عايزة أنا غيره معايا، والباقي ما يلزمنيش
I only want him with me; the rest means nothing to me.
يا ليالي روحي له (يا ليالي) عن شوقي وناري احكي له
Oh nights, tell him (oh nights) of my longing and my fire.
يا يجيلي يا إما أجيله، مش قادرة في بعده أعيش
Either he comes to me, or I go to him; I can't live in his absence.
وقولي له كفاية ويخلي لبعده نهاية
And tell him enough, and let there be an end to this distance.
مش عايزة أنا غيره معايا والباقي ما يلزمنيش
I only want him with me; the rest means nothing to me.
زي الليلة دي انا كنت معاه
Like this night, I was with him.
وفي حضنه بلاقي كل اللي أنا بتمناه
In his embrace, I find all that I wish for.
يا ليالي بقى كده حالي يرضيه
Oh nights, make my state like this one, please him.
مش بعمل حاجة غير إني بفكر فيه
I do nothing but think of him.
زي الليلة دي أنا كنت معاه
Like this night, I was with him.
وفي حضنه بلاقي كل اللي أنا بتمناه
In his embrace, I find everything that I wish for.
يا ليالي بقى كده حالي يرضيه
Oh nights, my state has to please him.
مش بعمل حاجة غير إني بفكر فيه
I do nothing but think of him.
يا ليالي روحي له (يا ليالي) عن شوقي وناري احكي له
Oh nights, go to him (oh nights), tell him of my longing and my fire.
يا يجيلي يا إما أجيله، مش قادرة في بعده أعيش
Either he comes to me or I go to him, I can't live in his absence.
وقولي له كفاية ويخلي لبعده نهاية
And tell him enough, let there be an end to this distance.
مش عايزة أنا غيره معايا، والباقي ما يلزمنيش
I want nothing but him by my side; the rest means nothing to me.
يا ليالي روحي له (يا ليالي روحي له) عن شوقي وناري احكي له
Oh nights, go to him (oh nights, go to him), tell him of my longing and my fire.
يا يجيلي يا إما أجيله، مش قادرة في بعده أعيش أنا، أنا
Either he comes to me or I go to him, I can't live in his absence, oh no, I can't.
وقولي له كفاية ويخلي لبعده نهاية
And tell him enough, let there be an end to this distance.
مش عايزة أنا غيره معايا والباقي ما يلزمنيش
I don't want anyone else with me, the rest doesn't matter to me.
