دعتني لغرفة المكياج اتمتع بزينتها
d3tny l'3orfat el mkyaj atmata3 bzeenat,ha
she invited me to the make-up room to enjoy her make up
انت مرايتي كَالت وبدت تلعب بريشتها
enta mraytee galat e bedat tel3ab breeshat,ha
you're my mirror said she, and she started to play with her brush
تتفنن بهالالوان وعيوني مرايتها
tetfanan bhalalwan w 3youni mrayat,ha
she's an artist with those colours and my eyes are her mirror
وسألتني تعال هنا ! شلون بشفتي الأحمر؟
w se2latny t3al hna! shlon bshefty el a7mar?
and she asked me to "come here! how's red on my lips?"
كَلت ياعم شفايف هي لو ياقوت لو سُكر
gelm ya 3am shfayf hya law yaqoot lw sokar
I said oh are those lips or corundum or suger
وسألتني عن الكحلة شلونها برمشي الأسود؟
w se2latny 3n el ko7la shlonha bremshy el aswad
and she asked me about the kohl how is it in my black lash
كَلت هي حواجب هاي لو سيفين لو مبرد
glt hya 7wajeb hay le sefeen lw mbrad
I said those are eye brows or swords or a sharpening-tool
رحميني يابنت الناس انا صبري انتهى لهالحد
r7meeny ya bent el nas ana sabry ent,ha lehal7ad
انا والله رجل فلاح والتفاح فوكَ الخد
ana wla rajol fala7 w el to7a7 fog el khad
I sweat I'm a farmer-man and the apple on the cheeks
صعب اتحول مرايه وانا مجنون أب عن جد
sa3ob at7wal mraya w ana mjnoon ab 3n jad
it's hard for me to turn into a mirror and I'm crazy seriously
لترك غرفة المكياج فوراً لأن صارت جد
ltrok '3orfat el mikyaj foran le2an sarat jad
I'll leave the make-up room immediately because it's gotten serious
The hours of pain have yielded good,
Which prosperous days refused;
As herbs, though scentless when entire,
Spread fragrance when they’re bruised.
