Let's dance! Let's dance!

Habeebi wala a'ala baalo shoqi eleih. Wana shaghail baali anaadi a'alaih, we layaali ikteer afakkar feeh, we ahin elaih, wala daari. My darling has no clue about my love for him. He's on my mind and so I call for him. And many nights I think of him, and long for him, but he has no clue.

Habeebi wala a'ala baalo shoqi eleih. Wana shaghail baali anaadi a'alaih, we layaali ikteer afakkar feeh, we ahin elaih, wala daari. My darling has no clue about my love for him. He's on my mind and so I call for him. And many nights I think of him, and long for him, but he has no clue.

Kefaya inno baaalo leila we yoam, A'alatool fe khayali we mafish noam. We layali keteer afakar feeh, we ahin elaih, wala daari. It's enough that it's been a day and a night, That he has been on my mind, and I can't sleep at night. And any nights I think of him, and long for him, but he has no clue.

Habeebi wala a'ala baalo shoqi eleih. Wana shaghail baali anaadi a'alaih, we layaali ikteer afakkar feeh, we ahin elaih, wala daari. My darling has no clue about my love for him. He's on my mind and so I call for him. And many nights I think of him, and long for him, but he has no clue.

Habeebi wala a'ala baalo shoqi eleih. Wana shaghail baali anaadi a'alaih, we layaali ikteer afakkar feeh, we ahin elaih, wala daari. My darling has no clue about my love for him. He's on my mind and so I call for him. And many nights I think of him, and long for him, but he has no clue.

Eiono feeha kalaam fe leil ghallab, Mala albi gharam fe ahla a'azab. We layali iketeer afakar feeh, we ahin eleih, wala daari. His eyes tell me words that I can't resist. They filled my heart with love and the sweetest of tortures. And many nights I think of him, and long for him, but he has no clue.

Eiono feeha kalaam fe leil ghallab, Mala albi gharam fe ahla a'azab. We layali iketeer afakar feeh, we ahin eleih, wala daari. His eyes tell me words that I can't resist. They filled my heart with love and the sweetest of tortures. And many nights I think of him, and long for him, but he has no clue.

Let's dance! Let's dance!

Habeebi wala a'ala baalo shoqi eleih. Wana shaghail baali anaadi a'alaih, we layaali ikteer afakkar feeh, we ahin elaih, wala daari. My darling has no clue about my love for her. She's on my mind and so I call for her. And many nights I think of her, and long for her, but she has no clue.

Let's dance! Let's dance!
