في قهوة عالمفرق في موقدة و في نار
In a coffeehouse at the crossroads there's a stove and there's fire
نبقى أنا و حبيبي نفرشها بالأسرار
My lover and I keep spreading secrets all over the place
جيت لقيت فيها عشاق اتنين زغار
I arrived and saw two young lovers in there
قعدوا على مقاعدنا سرقوا منا المشوار
They took our seats and robbed us of our excursion
يا ورق الأصفر عم نكبر عم نكبر
O yellow leaves, we grow older and older
الطرقات البيوت عم تكبر عم تكبر
The roads, the houses, they grow and grow
تخلص الدنيي و ما في غير يا وطني
The world ends, and all that remains is you, my homeland
يا وطني أه بتضلك طفل زغير
My homeland, you will remain a little child
متل السهم الراجع من سفر الزمان
Like an arrow returning from the the voyage of time
قطعت الشوارع ما ضحكلي انسان
I cut through the streets, no one smiled at me
كل أصحابي كبروا و أتغير اللي كان
All my friends got older, and what used to be has changed
صاروا العمر الماضي صاروا دهب النسيان
They became the bygone times, they became the gold of oblivion
