يا أبو عيون الخضر، يا أبو عيون الخضر
Oh green eyes, green eyes
حنينا حنينا يا ابو عيون الخضر
I miss you, I miss you, green eyes
بعد ماظل صبر
I have no more patience left
حنينا حنينا
I miss you, I miss you
مشتاق إله مشتاق مابيه حيل فراق
I long for him, I long, and I can't handle a separation
غالي عليَ يا ناس وافديه بالعمر
He is worth a lot for me, and I would sacrifice myself for him
حنينا حنينا
I miss him, I miss him
يا ابو عيون الخضر
Oh green eyes
اقره مكاتيبه يغرقني الدمع
I read his letters, and I drown in tears
ويذوب قلبي عليه ذوبان الشمع
My heart starts melting like candles
اتمنى طير الروح
I wish I could let my soul fly
وقبال بابه تنوح
And in front of his house, it bewails
عشرة عمر وياه مو يوم وشهر
A life journey I have been with him, not days or months
حنيت لآيامه وطيبة عشرته
I missed his days, and how good life was with him
ما ظل عقل بالراس والله بغيبته
I have lost my mind since he is gone now
دار الزمان ودار وانقطعت الاخبار
Time has changed, and I lost contact with him
من قلبي تطلع نار من كثر القهر
My heart is on fire, because of my sadness
