Arabic Lyrics	Transliteration	English Translation
Part 1	Part 1	Part 1
أنا اللى طول عمرى بصدق كلام الصبر فى المواويل	Ana elly tool omry basadak kalam el sabr fel mawaweel.	I'm the one who always believed in the idea of patience in times of trouble.
و أنا اللى طول عمرى بقول الحب عمره طويل	We ana elly tool omry baqool el hob omro taweel.	And I am the one who always said that love lives a long time.

من كتر ماكان الحب واخدنا	Men kotr ma kan el hob wakhedna	Since love had taken us both so much,
و كل حلاوة الدنيا فى إيدنا	We kol halawt el donia fe edna	and since the beauty of the world was ours,
لا فكرنا زمان يعاندنا	La fakarna zaman ye anedna,	we never thought that it would spite us,
و لا أيام تقدر تبعدنا	Wala ayam teqdar tebedna.	or that the days would separate us.

و عشنا الحب بل أيام	We eshna el hob belayam	And we lived in love, day by day,
و كل بكره فيه احلام	We kol bokra fe ahlam	and tomorrow was always a dream.
و أتارى كل ده أوهام...	We atary, kol da awham.	And, no wonder, it was all an illusion.

و سافر من غير وداع	We saffer mengheir wedaa.	And she left without saying goodbye.
فات في قلبي جراحه	Faat fe alby gerahoo.	She wounded my heart.
دبت في ليل السهر	Dobt fe leil el sahar,	I stayed up many a night,
و العيون ما إرتاحوا	Wel eioon martahoo.	and my eyes never found rest.

و منين نجيب الصبر ياأهل الله يداوينا؟	We menein negeeb el sabr ya ahl allah yedawina?	And where can we find the patience that will cure us?
اللي إنكوى بالحب قبلينا يقول لينا	Elly enkawa bel hob ablina yeoolina!	He who was beaten by love before us should tell us!
و سافر من غير وداع...	Saffer mengheir wedaa!	She left without saying goodbye!
