Translation of the song حبايب أيه artist Amr Diab

بنلقى راحتنا ويّا الغُرب

We find our comfort with strangers

و مش ويا حبايبنا

And not with our lovers

مريّحناش يا قلبي القرب

Being near each other didn't set us at ease, oh my heart

بنرتاح واحنا في بعادنا

We find comfort in our separation

(x2)

(x2)

!حبايب أيه؟ حبايب مين

What lovers? How could we be called so?

عشان الشكل مضطرين

In order to keep our image intact, we're forced

نكمّل والحياة تمشي

to carry on and life goes on

لكن مع بعض مش فارقين

but we don't matter to each other

(x2)

(x2)

بنمشي الإيد في حضن الايد

We walk with our hands embracing each other

ونتبسم قصاد الناس

And smile in front of people

عشان منهزّش الصورة

So that we don't distort the image

عشان يتصدّق الإحساس

So that they would believe our feelings

(x2)

(x2)

قالولنا يا قلبي مليون حلّ

Oh my heart, they gave us a million solutions

لكن لسه على حالنا

But still we remain in the same situation

وحبنا كل يوم بيقلّ

And our love fades away day after day

ومش بتقلّ أعذارنا

While our excuses don't

(x2)

(x2)

وايه في الدنيا يجبرنا

And what in the world forces us

على حاجة ماحبيناهاش

to do something we do not love?

لو الغلطة اننا اختارنا

If the mistake was that we made a choice,

دي غلطة أكيد مانقصدهاش

Surely this is a mistake that we don't mean
