عساك تعود وارتاح
3asak t3od w arta7
I wish you'd come back, and I'd be comforted
ولو في حلم خاطف
w law fe 7elm khatef
even if only in a quick dream
تدري الشوك ذباح
tdry el shog thabba7
you know that longing can kill
لا لتكلي اسف ارجعلي يماضي واني بكلشي راضي واكلك مايخالف
la tgoly asef erja3ly ya mady w anee bkolshi radee w agolak 'ma ykhalef'
don't tell me you're sorry, come back to me, oh past, and I accept anything (for you) and I'm telling you 'it's ok'
*ارجع واذكر الراح ولاتنسة السوالف دمع الهرج لو طاح مثل السيل جارف *عشت ببعادك جراح كلبي بشوكة خايف ارجع جيب الافراح يل كلك عواطف
erja3 w ethkor el ra7 w la tnsa el swalef, dam3 el haraj law tah methl el sayl jaref.. 3esht beb3adak jra7 galby bshoga khayf, erja3 jeeb el afra7 yal kolk 3awatef
come back and remember what used to be and don't forget our conversations, if the tears fall they'd be like a flooded river.. I lived in your absence with wounds, with longing I was afraid, come back bring joy oh you're full of emotions
The hours of pain have yielded good,
Which prosperous days refused;
As herbs, though scentless when entire,
Spread fragrance when they’re bruised.
