Translation of the song يا عالم artist Assala Nasri

يا عالم هشوفه ولو صدفة يوم

Only God knows1 if I'm going to see him, even accidentally, once again

لابيجيلي نوم ..ولا بنساه

I can neither sleep, nor take him out of my mind2

وفرصة رجوعنا بتنقص أكيد

Yes, probabilities that we return back are decreasing indeed

!وهو بعيد .. وفين القاه ؟

As he is too far to be met3

وفكرة هكمّل وانا مش معاه

The idea of4 going on without him.....

... مابتجيش ف بالي كإن الحياة

.. doesn't even cross my mind. as if life .....

خلاص واقفة عنده ورافضاني أعيش

... stopped after him, as if it refuses to let me live

!وبفضل مكاني بستناه

So, I stand still waiting for him.

أنا كل مادا بلاقي اللي فات

From time to time I discover that,

مصمم مايقلبش ليه ذكريات

past, somehow, refuses to turn into memories

وبتأكد اني ف غيابه ماليش

I'm becoming more sure that without him5 I've already lost...

!نصيب تاني أرجع أحس بحياة

... my share in enjoying6 life.

!ماسابش لسؤالي عليه ليه مجال؟

Why didn't he leave me a chance to ask about him..

وبالحرف قال .. مافكّرش فيه

..telling me not to think about him?

كإن اللي بينا حكاية يومين

As if our story was just a couple of days

ماهياش سنين، وضاعت عليه

not years that are wasted!

وفكرة هكمّل وانا مش معاه

The idea of4 going on without him.....

... مابتجيش ف بالي كإن الحياة

.. doesn't even cross my mind. as if life .....

خلاص واقفة عنده ورافضاني أعيش

... stopped after him, as if it refuses to let me live

!وبفضل مكاني بستناه

So, I stand still waiting for him.

أنا كل مادا بلاقي اللي فات

From time to time I discover that,

مصمم مايقلبش ليه ذكريات

past, somehow, refuses to turn into memories

وبتأكد اني ف غيابه ماليش

I'm becoming more sure that without him5 I've already lost...

!نصيب تاني أرجع أحس بحياة

... my share in enjoying6 life.
