الحلوة الحلوة الحلوة .. برموشها السودة الحلوة
the beautiful one, the beautiful one... with her black eye-lashes, the beautiful one
شغلتني ناديتني خدتني .. وديتني بعيد وجابتني
she filled my mind, she called me, she took me.. took me away and brought me back
والشوق الشوق غلبني ..الشوق كان ح يدوبني
and the longing, the longing has taken over me.. the longing was about to make me melt
لولا ضحكتها الحلوة .. وعدتني بحاجات حلوة
her beautiful laugh.. has promised me with beautiful things
الحلوة عنيك يا حبيبي..
oh the beautiful oh baby
في عيونك سهرت لياليه .. وطالت أيامي
in your eyes I've stayed awake for night.. and my days became longer
وف ضل رموشك وشفايفك .. غنت أحلامي
and in the shadow of your eyes and lips.. my dreams sang
وعشانك صحيت أفراحي .. ورقصت قدامي
and for you my joys have awakened.. and my feet danced
وشبابي لقيته فى شبابك..ولقيت روحي
and I found my youth in yours.. and I found my soul
سهرانه بترقص على بابك ..يا حياة روحي
awake, dancing at your door.. oh your the life of my soul
والشوق الشوق غلبني ..الشوق كان ح يدوبني
and the longing, the longing has taken over me.. the longing was about to make me melt
لولا ضحكتها الحلوة .. وعدتني بحاجات حلوة
her beautiful laugh.. has promised me with beautiful things
الحلوة عنيك يا حبيبي..
oh the beautiful oh baby
باليوم والساعة والثانية .. أنا فاكر فاكر يا حبيبي
by day and hour and second.. I remember remember oh baby
أول مرة قابلتك فيها .. أول كلمة ناديت لك بيها
the first I saw you.. the first word I used to call you
أول مرة أقول يا حبيبي .. يا حبيبي وحاسس معانيها
the first time I say oh baby.. oh baby and I feel its meanings
في عنيك حسيت بالحب .. وعرفت بيجي منين
in your eyes I felt love.. and I knew where it came from
وازاى بيدفي القلب . وازاى بيصحي العين
and how can the heart be warm.. and how can the eye be awake
وشبابي لقيته فى شبابك..ولقيت روحي
and I found my youth in yours.. and I found my soul
سهرانه بترقص على بابك ..يا حياة روحي
awake, dancing at your door.. oh your the life of my soul
لولا ضحكتها الحلوة .. وعدتني بحاجات حلوة
her beautiful laugh.. has promised me with beautiful things
الحلوة عنيك يا حبيبي..
oh the beautiful oh baby
The hours of pain have yielded good,
Which prosperous days refused;
As herbs, though scentless when entire,
Spread fragrance when they’re bruised.
