العذول فايق ورايق
The meddler is awake and at ease,
العذول فايق ورايق
The meddler is awake and at ease,
عمره ما داق الغرام
He’s never tasted love,
قلبه ما يرحمش عاشق
His heart shows no mercy to a lover.
بس شاطر في الكلام
But he’s good with words,
العذول فايق ورايق
The meddler is awake and at ease,
عمره ما داق الغرام
He’s never tasted love,
قلبه ما يرحمش عاشق
His heart shows no mercy to a lover.
بس شاطر في الكلام
But he’s good with words,
قلبي لو مال يوم لغيرك
If my heart sways one day to another.
قلبي لو مال يوم لغيرك
My heart, if it ever sways to another,
يبقى عن جسمي غريب
It will remain a stranger to my body.
وأنت لو تسأل ضميرك
And if you ask your conscience,
أنت لو تسأل ضميرك
If you ask your conscience,
ما تلاقيش غيري حبيب
You won't find another lover like me.
صب مغرم وأنت عارف
I am a lovesick soul, and you know it,
فيك متيم وأنت شايف
In you, I am mesmerized, and you see it.
بس خايف، خايف م الكلام
But I'm scared, scared of the words,
في هواك شوفت العجايب
In your love, I saw wonders.
آه يا ناري من هواك
Oh, my fire, from your love.
عقلي فيك حاضر وغايب
My mind is present and absent in you,
عقلي فيك حاضر وغايب
My mind is present and absent in you,
والفؤاد والروح فداك
And my heart and soul are devoted to you.
بس قوللي إيه رأيته
Just tell me, what did you see?
في الفؤاد اللي كويته
In the heart that you burned,
بعد سيرك، سيرك والخصام
After your wandering, your wandering and the quarrels,
العذول فايق ورايق
The critic is awake and carefree,
عمره ما داق الغرام
He has never tasted love,
قلبه ما يرحمش عاشق
His heart does not spare the lover,
بس شاطر في الكلام
But he's clever with his words.
جرح قلبي والعواطف
My heart is wounded, and emotions are stirred,
كل ده محسوب عليك
All of this is accounted to you.
يمكن الأيام تصادف
Maybe the days will align,
يمكن الأيام تصادف
Maybe the days will align.
واشكي حالي بين يديك
And I lament my state in your hands.
ليه تعاند بس هاود
Why do you resist? Just give in.
واترك العذال وكايد
And leave the foes and their tricks,
يبقى حبك، حبك ع المرام
Your love remains, your love is the ultimate goal.
