Translation of the song مالي شغل artist Ilham Al-Madfai

مالي شغل بالسوق .. مريت اشوفك

I have no buisiness in the market, I only passed by to see you

عطشان حفن سنين .. واروى على شوفك

I have been thirsty for some water for years, and my thirst is quenched at your sight

اشلون انام الليل .. وانته على بالي

And how am I supposed to sleep the nights, when you are on my mind?

حتى السمك بالماي .. يبكي على حالي

Even the fish in the waters, they cry for my circumstances

حاير ودوّر عليك .. رحت وعفتني

I wander around and look for you, yet you elude me and torment me

شسويت انا واياك .. يا لماردتني

What have I done to you, O, you who desire me not?

اريد اعبر الجسرين .. كرخ ورصافه

I want to cross two bridges, Karkh and Rasafa

واسأل عن المحبوب .. منهو اللي شافه

And ask about the beloved, who saw him
