الشوك ذابحني ذبح اذاني حالف عليه
el shog thabe7ny thabe7 athany 7alef 3alee
longing is killing me, it's hurting me!
ونوم ماراواني
w nom ma rawany
and it made me sleepless
مشتاك مو بيدي
meshtag mo beedy
I'm longing, it's out of my hands
احس محتاجهم
a7es me7tajhom
I feel that I need them
مسجونه روحي
masjoona rou7i
my soul is imprisoned
وباقي اتاني فراجهم
w baqy atany fraghom
and their absence hurts (?)
دمعي ولا بطل نزل
dam3y wala batal nazel
my tears don't stop falling
جواني وك حالف عليه
chwany wal 7alef 3alee
it's burning me
ونوم مارواني
w nom ma rawanee
and it made me sleepless
مسكينه ياروحي
maskeena ya rou7i
oh my poor soul
مشو وعافوها
meshaw w 3afoha
they went and left it behind
ماتكدر على فراكهم
ma tegdar 3la fraghom
it can't bear being separated from them
شافوها باقي انتظرهم وانتظر ملكاهم
shafwha baqy antetherhom w antether malgahom
they saw it, I'm still waiting for them and for seeing them
ياربي والله شون انا انساهم
ya rabbi walla shon ana ansahom
oh God how can I forget them?
كدرو عليه والبعد اذاني
gedraw 3alayyah wel bo3od athany
they could bear it, this distance is hurting me
والشوك ذابحني ذبح اذاني
el shog thabe7ny thabe7 athany
longing is killing me, it's hurting me!
الشوك ياخذني وافكر بيهم
el shog yakhethny w afaker beehom
longing takes me away and I'm thinking of them
كلبي على نيته يبجي ويحاجيهم
galby 3la neeta yebchee w y7acheehom
my heart is naive, it's crying and talking to them
وك خلوني وحدي
wak khlony wa7dy
just leave me alone
بالكلب خليتهم شلون مادري عمر تانيتهم الزمن نساهم ومانساني
belgalb khalit.hom shlon ma adry 3omr thanyt.hom el zaman nesahom w ma nesany
I'm keeping them in my heart, I don't know how, time forgot them but didn't forget me!
الشوك ذابحني ذبح اذاني
el shog thabe7ny thabe7 athany
longing is killing me, it's hurting me!
The hours of pain have yielded good,
Which prosperous days refused;
As herbs, though scentless when entire,
Spread fragrance when they’re bruised.
