Going Out For Morning Exercise

My darling,
Habibi,
My darling,
Wala lessa habibi,
I swear, you're still my darling.
Walla, we habibi, mahma matensa habibi,
I swear, even if you've forgotten me.
Walla, we habibi, omry mansa habibi.
I swear, I can never forget my darling.
Ebaa eftekerni,
Can you try to remember me?
Hawel teftekerni.
Try to remember me.
Law mareit fe tareeq mesheena mara fee.
If you walk on a path that we once walked upon.
Aw aadeit fe makan kan leena zekra fee.
Or pass by a place that we shared a memory in.
Ebaa eftekerni,
Can you try to remember me?
Hawel teftekerni.
Try to remember me.
De layali eshnaha,
These nights we lived,
Abadan mosh hansaha.
I can never forget.
Alla balli, alla balli, ya habibi.
They stay on my mind, my darling.
Alla balli, Ayam we layali, ya habibi
On my mind, day and night, my darling.
Alla balli leil we nahar,
On my mind as the sun rises and sets.
We enta ala balli.
And you, too, stay on my mind.
We menein negeeb el sabr ya ahl allah yedawina?
And where can we find the patience that will cure us?
Elly enkawa bel hob ablina yeoolina!
He who was beaten by love before us should tell us!
Saffer mengheir wedaa,
She left without saying goodbye.
