Translation of the song مرت سنة artist Abdul Majeed Abdullah

مرت سنة والعين يعشقها السهر

A year passed, with the eye loved by sleep depriviation

ومرت سنة والشوق باقي ما انمحى

And a year passed, with the longing not even budging from its place

ومرت سنة والقلب ذابحه الهجر

And a year passed, with the heart being killed by abandonment

ومرت سنة والهجر عيّا ما استحى

And a year passed, with abandonment still aware, not feeling ashamed

ومرت سنة مرت سنة وأنا أنتظر

And a year passed, a year passed with me waiting

ومرت سنة والوصل نايم ما صحى

And a year passed, with any sign of reunion being asleep and not awake

ومرت سنة ما جا من الغالي خبر

And a year passed with no news of the precious one

ودارت على حّب المحبّين الرحى

And the Ru7a1

ومرت سنة صابر وعذري بالصبر

And a year passed with me waiting, and the excuse in my waiting

شماتت أصحاب الشوارب واللحى

Is the gloating of they who have mustashes and beards

وعيونه السود وشفايفه الحمر

And her black eyes, and her red lips

وجديل يضفي فوق متنه لا انتحى

And her hair (pigtail) shines with light as it sways

وصدرِ يسد الليل من نور القمر

And a chest that blocks the night from the moonlight

وخدِ يسد الصبح من شمس الضحى

And a cheek that blocks the morning from the sunlight

ومرت سنة واخاف لا يروح العمر

And a year passed, and I fear that life goes away (life ends)

وأنا أنتظر والشوق باقي ما انمحى

With me waiting, and longing still there, not yielding in
