Mel layali, men bodak welly garally.
Our separation all those nights caused me so much pain.
Saharny el shok, dawakny el shok. taam el herman fel layali.
I stayed up longing, Yearning deprived me every night.
Yama ayam daeit, ya salam.
So many days were lost, my god!
Fe azab we alam. sahran ma banaam.
Suffering and in pain, staying up with no sleep.
Adeit el leil Ma amar el leil, We negoom el leil. Nehky fe kalam.
I spent the nights, with the moon and the stars. And we spoke much.
Yama olt anak. We ghelobt shakwa menak.
I spoke much of you. Trying to find a reason why you left.
Wehyat el ghally andak.
Please swear to me now.
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!
