يا فايتني و انا روحي معاك .ما تقولي كان إيه بكاك
Oh, you who has passed me, and my soul is with you. Don't tell me what your crying is about.
يا حبيبي كان ليه النوح . ده انا قلبي اتقطع لبكاك
Oh my beloved, why the lament? My heart is torn apart by your weeping.
انا احبك و افديك بالروح . ما تقولي كان ايه بكاك
I love you and I would sacrifice my soul for you. Don't tell me what your crying is about.
ليه تبكي و انا دمعي يفيض . اشكيلك و انوح وياك
Why do you cry when my tears overflow? I complain to you and lament with you.
و ابكيلك بدموع العين .ما تقولي . ما تقولي كان ايه بكاك
And I cry for you with tears from my eyes. Don't tell me, don’t tell me what your crying is about.
لما انت بقلبك حنية مش ترحم ذلي في هواك
When you have kindness in your heart, do you not pity my humiliation in your love?
دي دموعك دي عزيزة عليا . ما تقولي كان ايه بكاك
Your tears are precious to me. Don't tell me what your crying is about.
كان مالك و مال الأشجان .تتألم و تزيد في أسآك
What do you have to do with sorrow? You suffer and increase my pain.
أنا قلبي في حبك حيران . ما تقولي كان ايه بكاك
My heart is confused in your love. Don't tell me what your crying is about.
