Tool omri bahlam ya-ghaali All my life, I dream, oh precious one.

Inni inta hilmi illayaali That you are the dream of the nights.

Min nazrah ghayyarti haali, iw-aalbi, iw-rouhi dayman maa'aak wallah. From a glance, you changed my life, my heart and my soul is always with you, O' God.

Tool omri bahlam ya-ghaali All my life, I dream, oh precious one.

Hayati tool ma-ana wayyak, ti-naadi farhi aalbi maa'aak. My life as long as I am with you. It calls for my heart's joy with you.

Wi-a'aini laou baa'd shayfaak, a'ashiaatak wallah min ta-allah. And my eye if saw you ... I loved you, O' God, By God.

Tammini khaleik maa'aya, ya-illi intah agmal hikaya. Assure me, be with me. O you the most beautiful story.

Da hawana min ghair nihaya, iw yalla taa'ala ninsa illi ib-aalbak yalla. Our love is endless ... and come along and let us forget your heart, let us.
