Wallah makaan a'ala baali ya hawa Oh God, it was not on my mind oh love

Amarain ... Amarain doul walla a'naik Two moons. Two moons are they? Or they are your eyes?
Albi ibyisaalni a'alaik My heart is asking me about you
Atareeni bafakkar feek It seems that I am thinking of you
   
Ya albi yaana Oh my heart, oh me
Min hobbouh yaana From his love, oh me
Ya shouaa amaanah Oh yearning ... It is loyalty
Timli illayali gharaam To fill the nights with love
   
Aahen ya omri, ya koulo omri Oh my life, my entire life
Salimtou aamri I gave him my destination
A'iynaih aalet lee kalaam His eyes told me words
   
Wallah makaan a'ala baali ya hawa Oh God, it was not on my mind oh love
Wallah makaan a'ala baali ya hawa Oh God, it was not on my mind oh love

Taal inshighaali It is too long that I am busy
Wayyak ya ghaali With you, oh precious one
Wana eih jaraa lee And me, what has happened to me
Khalaani adoub fee hawak Made me melt in your love
   
Ishmaa'na inta How come you!!
Habbaitak inta I loved you!!
Izzay iw-eimta How come? And when?
Shaghalt rouhi maa'aak I got my soul busy with you
   
Wallah makaan a'ala baali ya hawa Oh God, it was not on my mind oh love
Wallah makaan a'ala baali ya hawa Oh God, it was not on my mind oh love
Wallah makaan a'ala baali ya hawa Oh God, it was not on my mind oh love
Wallah makaan a'ala baali ya hawa Oh God, it was not on my mind oh love

Atareeni bafakkar feek It seems that I am thinking of you
   
Amarain ... Amarain doul walla a'naiki Two moons. Two moons are they? Or they are your eyes?
