دارت القهوة وعمين بدها تدور
the coffee rotated and on whom it's going to turn?
دارت عليي وفنجاني مكسور
it turned on me and my cup is broken
دارت القهوة ودارت الأيام
the coffee rotated and the days rotated
لا القلب يهدا ولا العيون تنام
the heart wouldn't calm down and the eyes wouldn't sleep
بيقولولي اصبر قلتلهم حرام
they tell me to be patient, I told them it's forbidden 1
شو جنى أيوب يوم قالوله اصبر
what has patience given to Ayyoub2 when he was told to be patient
دارت القهوة دارت ع الغريب
the coffee rotated, it turned on the stranger
دارت ع الأحباب وماعندي حبيب
it turned on the lovers and I have no lover
يا حبيبي ال غاب هالدنيا نصيب
my lover who went away, this life is destiny
بيبرم الدولاب وحظي ما بيدور
the wheel spins and my luck doesn't
