ياللي بحب يا بشر
Oh people, the one I love
شاطر شاطر بالهجر
is so good at abandoning people
حطيت بيده قلبي
I put my heart in his hands
حط على راسي حجر
He put a stone on my head
يما...يما شسوى؟
Oh my, oh my, what can I do?
يا رب اعطيني القوة
Oh God, give me the strength
مجرح فيي ومسوي
He hurt me and was unfair to me
و بعد اغلى من النظر
And yet he is still more precious to me than my own eyes
لو يطلب من وجهي عين
If he asks for one of my eyes
و الله ترخصله الاتنين
Two of them is a cheap price for him
مع انو مفرحني يوم
He makes me happy for one day
بيبكيني قباله شهرين
And in return makes me cry for two months
و اني بحالي شسوي؟
And what can I do with myself?
يارب عطيني القوة
Oh God, give me the strength
مجرح فيي ومسوي
He hurt me and was unfair to me
و بعد اغلى من النظر
And yet he is still more precious to me than my own eyes
والله نشفت دموعي
I swear my tears have dried up
و دربك ما منه رجوعي
And there is no backing out of your path
عطشانة و حارمني الماي
I am thirsty and he's depriving me of the water,
ياللي شلتها بضلوعي
He whom I carried in my loins1
