Hi Fanta!
Here's my try:



ياللى غايب وسايب فيا هواااك لسة بستناااك كل يوم والتانى بنده ليييك
Yalli ghayeb w sayeb feea hawak, lessa bastanak, kol youm wel tani banda leek
oh you who are absent and gone! Your love is inside me, I’m still waiting for you, one day and the next I call for you

نفسى اقولك حبيبى على اللى انا فيه واللى حاسس بيه بس قولى حبيبى فين الاقيك
Nafsi a2oulak 7abibi 3la elly ana feeh, w elly 7ases beeh, bas 2oulli 7abeebi feen ala2eek
I wish I could tell you my darling what I've been through and what I feel, so tell me my darling where to find you
(2x)



مجاش على بالى ثانية انساك ياللى قلبى معاك عشت بستناك بقالى كتييير
Magash 3la bali zania ansak, yalli 2albi ma3ak, 3asht bastanak ba2ali kteer
not even a second of oblivion comes to my mind, oh the one with whom my heart is, I’ve lived to wait for you long

سنين عمال افكر فييك نفسى اقرب لييك لسة قلبى عليك طب انت فيين
Seneen 3amal afakar feek, nafsi a2rrab leek, lessa 2albi 3aleik 6ab enta feen
I’ve been thinking about you for years, I wish I could come close to you, and my heart is still (crazy) about you, so where are you?



دة انا ولا منى وياك ولا حبيبى بنساك وهو دة حالى وياك واعمل اييييه
Dah ana wala menni wayak, wala 7abibi bansak, w howwa dah 7ali wayak, w a3mel eih
this is me and I’m not with you, and I can’t forget you my darling, and this is my situation with you, what can I do?

هى ايام هوانا مش وحشاك حب غيرى نداك قولى حاجة حبيبى نفسى ارتاح
Heya ayam hawana mosh wa7shak, 7ob ghayri nadak, 2oulli 7aga 7abibi nafsi arta7
those were the days of our love, don’t you miss them? did another love call you? tell me something to soothe me my darling

كلمة طمني بيها وح فضل ليك ربنا يخليك بعد منك قلبي كلو جراح
Kelma 6ammeni beeha w 7afdhal leek, rabbena yakhleek, ba3d mennak 2albi kollo gara7
reassure me with one word and I’ll stay (here) for you, I'm begging you, (even if) my heart is later all wounded by you



مجاش على بالى ثانية انساك ياللى قلبى معاك عشت بستناك بقالى كتييير
Magash 3la bali zania ansak, yalli 2albi ma3ak, 3asht bastanak ba2ali kteer
not even a second of oblivion comes to my mind, oh the one with whom my heart is, I’ve lived to wait for you long

سنين عمال افكر فييك نفسى اقرب لييك لسة قلبى عليك طب انت فيين
Seneen 3amal afakar feek, nafsi a2rrab leek, lessa 2albi 3aleik 6ab enta feen
I’ve been thinking about you for years, I wish I could come close to you, and my heart is still (crazy) about you, so where are you?



دة انا ولا منى وياك ولا حبيبى بنساك وهو دة حالى وياك واعمل اييييه
Dah ana wala menni wayak, wala 7abibi bansak, w howwa dah 7ali wayak, w a3mel eih

those were the days of our love, don’t you miss them? Other than me, love called you; tell me something to soothe me my darling

7ob ghayri nadak - Did another love call you?

reassure me with one word and I’ll stay (here) for you, may our Lord preserve you, (even if) my heart is later all wounded by you

Rabina iy5alek - correct translation , literally means I beg you (referrs to the first part)


Well done sweetie <3

Thanks for the meaning of nifsi... Heard it a lot of Times in songs.

Thank you all very much! I love this song even more now because I can sing along

Shukran!

Is there a difference between 'yalli' and 'ya' by the way??

example, ya ghayeb or yalli ghayeb

Not really, ya is oh and yalli sort of refers to a person, i.e the one who is...

Ya 3'ayib - Oh absent one
Yalli 3'ayib - Oh the one who is absent

Tayeb, shukran jazilan
Youm saeed
