| الحفلة زحمة مليانة وشوش كتير اعرفها
| The party is crowded and full of confusion, which I know
|
| خيلان و عمام و اسامى لسه صعب انطقها
| Two horses, uncles, and names that are still difficult to pronounce
|
| عشرة و محبة واضحين مبين الناس حواليه
| Ten and clear love shows the people around him
|
| بيقولو ده عيد ميلادى الحفلة ديه معموله ليا
| They say this is my birthday, this party is for me
|
| مبين كتير هداية كان جواب مبعوت لإسمى
| Showing a lot of guidance was an answer sent to my name
|
| مكتوب عليه بخط امى لحبيبى ابنى
| Written on it in my mother's handwriting for my beloved son
|
| طب ليه جواب ما انتى دايماً جنبى طول الوقت
| Why is the answer why you are not always beside me all the time?
|
| بلاش لماضة بقى افتح جوابك لو سمحت
| Blah blah bga open your answer please
|
| قالتلى فى الجواب كل سنة وانت زيى
| She told me in the answer every year and you are like me
|
| ما انت جوه قلبى فى المكانة ملكش زيي
| You are not the essence of my heart in the position of Malakish Zei
|
| تكبر و اشوفك زى ما انت عايز تبقى عايز
| Grow up and see you as you want to stay wanted
|
| كده او كده حبيبى و لكلام جوابى حاسس
| Keda or Keda, my love, and for the words of my answer, I feel
|
| و كبرت اكتر و سنينى زادت عن صوابعى
| And I grew older and my years were beyond my control
|
| عصبى و صوتى عالی أمى خافت يبقى طبعى
| I am nervous and my voice is loud, my mother is faint, and it remains my nature
|
| فقالتلى يا ابنى خلي بالك دايما من كلامك
| She said to me, my son, keep your mind always on your words
|
| الكلمة سيف يا تقل منك يا تزيد مقامك
| The word is a sword, or less than you, or increase your position
|
| و فى يوم رجعت من المدرسة متبهدل مـ التراب
| And one day I came back from school drenched in dirt
|
| و سألت إزاى الغدر ممكن يجى مـ الصحاب
| And I asked how treachery can come from the companions
|
| و حكتلها الخناقة و سمعتني بكل صبر
| And the noose hit her and she listened to me patiently
|
| و قالتلى لما تهدى ابقى اقرأ من أول سطر
| And she told me when she calmed down, read from the first line
|
| كانت كتبالى جواب عن الصحاب و الجدعنة
| My books were an answer for companions and courage
|
| و قالتلى اختار الي يقول احنا بدل ما يقول أنا
| And she told me to choose who says we instead of who says me
|
| و اعرف ان الصحاب لا بالكترة ولا بالعدد
| And I know that the companions are neither in abundance nor in number
|
| فى الشدة هما اتنين تلاتة عليهم تعتمد
| In distress, they are two, three depend on them
|
| فى السما بشوفك لما الدنيا بيا تضيق
| In the sky I see you when the world narrows down
|
| و فى الليل بحكيلك عن كل قديم و جديد
| And at night I tell you about everything old and new
|
| فى غيابك دايما جنبى
| In your absence, always beside me
|
| كلامك محفور فى قلبى | Your words are engraved in my heart |
| رسالتك مش بس كلام
| Your message is not just words
|
| رسالتك إنسان أكونُ
| Your message is a human being
|
| و كبرت اكتر
| And I got older
|
| و الدنيا كبرت اكتر بيا
| And the world has grown more with me
|
| و بدأت أحس جوة منى إحساس جديد عليا
| And I began to feel inside me a new feeling for me
|
| فحكيتلها عن أحلى بنت
| So I told her about the sweetest girl
|
| فى الجامعة كلها
| in the whole university
|
| وصفتها لأمي قلت مشفتش زيها
| I described it to my mother, I said I didn't see it like it
|
| مش عارف أقولك إيه بس شكلى بحبها
| I don't know what to tell you, but I love it
|
| قلتيلي احكيلي عنها اكتر قولى اسمها
| You told me to tell me more about her, tell me her name
|
| مش عارف
| I do not know
|
| و متضحكيش عليا انتى كمان
| And don't laugh at me, too
|
| متسرع على طول مدلوق من صغرى من زمان
| Hasty along sloppy from the youngest of time
|
| فقالت لي اهم حاجة لما تحب لازم تقدر
| She said to me the most important thing when you love, you must appreciate
|
| تعرف قيمة حبيبتك و لأحلامها اياك تكسر
| You know the value of your sweetheart and her dreams
|
| و متستعجلش
| And don't rush
|
| قول الكلمة لما تحسها
| Say the word when you feel it
|
| و اوعاك تخبى عنها حاجة دايما قولها
| And don't hide something from her that she always says
|
| عدت سنين كتير و شوفتى ولاد ولادك
| I went back many years and saw your children's children
|
| رغم الفراق ما بينا عمر ما عيد ميلادى فاتك
| Despite the separation between us, you never missed my birthday
|
| بتجيلى فى كل فرحة و بردو لما تضيق عليا
| You come to me in every joy and also when you narrow me down
|
| أنا مش مصدق انى عمرى ما شوفتكيش بعنيا
| I can't believe I never saw you mean to me
|
| ربي اختارك تكوني جنبه و انا لسة فى اللفة
| My Lord chose you to be beside him while I am still in the circle
|
| اكيد مكانك أحلى وأنا مبسوط لك أنتي عارفة
| Surely your place is better and I am happy for you, you know
|
| فكتبتى ليا لوحدى يجى ألف جواب و قصة
| So you wrote to me alone, a thousand answers and a story would come
|
| بتحاولى تعوضينى عن اللى فاتنى و اللى لسة
| You try to compensate me for what I missed and what I still have
|
| بس انتى بتوحشينى
| But you miss me
|
| و بتمنى تكوني قربي
| And I wish you were near me
|
| طول عمري بحس بيكى
| All my life I feel you
|
| فكان نفسى تحسى حبى
| So I felt my love
|
| سمعانى اكيد يا امى
| Hear me for sure, mom
|
| و اكيد كمان شايفانى
| And sure, you see me too
|
| لو مش شايفك بعينى فقلبى شايفك من مكانى
| If I don't see you with my eyes, my heart will see you from my place
|
| فى السما بشوفك لما الدنيا بيا تضيق
| In the sky I see you when the world narrows down
|
| و فى الليل بحكيلك عن كل قديم و جديد
| And at night I tell you about everything old and new
|
| فى غيابك دايما جنبى | In your absence, always beside me |
| كلامك محفور فى قلبى
| Your words are engraved in my heart
|
| رسالتك مش بس كلام
| Your message is not just words
|
| رسالتك إنسان أكونُ | Your message is a human being |
