سحرني وخلاني حاير طول زماني
راهو رشاني يانا وقلبي المسكين
بغيت نشوفه ثاني نعرف عنوانه فين
أيا، يا، يا، ياي حبيبي انت العمر
أيا، يا، يا، ياي على فراقك ما نصبر
أيا، يا، يا، ياي حبيبي انت العمر
أيا، يا، يا، ياي حبيبي انت العمر
أيا، يا، يا، ياي على فراقك ما نصبر
أيا، يا، يا، ياي حبيبي انت العمر
حبيبي، حبيبي
غايب وما جاني خلا قلبي يعاني
خايفه ينساني يخليني وحداني
من حبه كي راني نصبر غير قليل
ما نرقدش هاني سهران طول الليل
أيا، يا، يا، ياي حبيبي انت العمر

وعدي كي راني حب زين بلاني
My promise, when I fell in love, it illuminated me
سحرني وخلاني حاير طول زماني
It enchanted me and left me confused for a long time
راهو رشاني يانا وقلبي المسكين
He has left me dazzled and my poor heart
بغيت نشوفه ثاني نعرف عنوانه فين
I want to see him again, and I want to know where he lives
غايب وما جاني خلا قلبي يعاني
He is absent and hasn't come, leaving my heart suffering
خايفه ينساني يخليني وحداني
I am afraid he will forget me and leave me alone
من حبه كي راني نصبر غير قليل
Since I fell in love with him, I have been enduring a lot
ما نرقدش هاني سهران طول الليل
I can't sleep at night, staying awake all night
