ليه صار حبك ممتلي بعيوب
Why did your love become full of flaws
والراس يابس والتكبر ليش؟
And you are obstinate1 and why the arrogance?
ترى التفاهم بالهوى مطلوب
You see, [reaching an] understanding in love is needed
والحب وحده مايوكل عيش
And love alone does not suffice2
اوقات احس انك علي مغصوب
Sometimes I feel like I am being forced upon you
يوماً تجي وايام في تطنيش
You come for one day, and for days you ignore [me]
ما ينعدل حالك دهر مقلوب
The way you are will never change, forever messed up
ماينعشق خل وعقله خريش
One cannot be in love with a lover whose mind is superficial
المشكلة انك علي محسوب
The problem is that [people] link me to you3
والمشكلة اني معك باعيش
and the problem is that I live with you
خوفي تضيعني بطول دروب
My fear is that you will lose me along the paths 4
من بعدها اصفى على ماميش
and then I come out empty-handed
احتار فكري فيك يالمحبو
My thoughts are confused by you, oh lover
انا معك من جد في تشويش
with you I am truly perplexed
حاولت اعدل فيك يا معيوب
I tried to fix you, oh flawed one
خذني بهون وخل عنك الطيش
Treat me tenderly and stay away from impulsiveness
