شو المانع يا عيني
لو عينك تعشق عيني
شو المانع يا روحي
لو روحك تسكن روحي
ما نحنا تواعدنا
وحلفنا ع وعدنا
بعدك دوا لجروحي
مثلي ومثلك ما في كثير
عندن ها الطبع وها الروح
نفس المبدأ والتفكير
والغلط منه مسموح
إذا حبينا وتلاقينا
خبرني شو المانع
شو المانع يا عيني
لو عينك تعشق عيني
شو المانع يا روحي
لو روحك تسكن روحي
قصتنا ما حلاها
قلبي دق وغناها
قصتنا صوت وصورة
صارت فيّ محفورة
بحكيها وصوتي بعلّي
وبدل بإيدي ع اللي
ما شفت بحبه علة
يسوى كل المعمورة
مثلي ومثلك ما في كثير
عندن ها الطبع وها الروح
نفس المبدأ والتفكير
والغلط منه مسموح
إذا حبينا وتلاقينا
خبرني شو المانع
شو المانع يا عيني
لو عينك تعشق عيني
شو المانع يا روحي
لو روحك تسكن روحي
كرمالك لخاطر
وأمشي بالمخاطر
ولولا الناس حملوني
وقالوا عني مجنوني
ما قلبي اتغير حاله
لعندك راح لحاله
وعينيّ وعمري بحاله
كرامة عينك مرهوني
مثلي ومثلك ما في كثير
عندن ها الطبع وها الروح
نفس المبدأ والتفكير
والغلط منه مسموح
إذا حبينا وتلاقينا
خبرني شو المانع
شو المانع يا عيني
لو عينك تعشق عيني
شو المانع يا روحي
لو روحك تسكن روحي
ما نحنا تواعدنا
وحلفنا ع وعدنا
مهما عن بعض بعدنا
بعدك دوا لجروحي
يابا، يابا
يابا، يابا، يابا

شو المانع، شو المانع
What is stopping us, what is stopping us?
شو المانع يا عيني
What is stopping you, my eyes?
لو عينك تعشق عيني
If your eyes love mine
شو المانع يا روحي
What is stopping you, my soul?
لو روحك تسكن روحي
If your soul lives within mine
ما نحنا تواعدنا
We didn't make any promises
وحلفنا ع وعدنا
And we didn't swear any vows
مهما عن بعض بعدنا
Even if we're apart
بعدك دوا لجروحي
Your absence is the only cure for my wounds
مثلي ومثلك ما في كثير
There aren't many like me and you
عندن ها الطبع وها الروح
We have the same nature and spirit
نفس المبدأ والتفكير
The same principles and thoughts
والغلط منه مسموح
And it's okay to make mistakes
إذا حبينا وتلاقينا
If we love each other and meet
خبرني شو المانع
Tell me, what's stopping us?
قصتنا ما حلاها
Our story is so beautiful
قلبي دق وغناها
My heart beats and sings for it
قصتنا صوت وصورة
Our story is like a voice and a picture
صارت فيّ محفورة
It's engraved in me
بحكيها وصوتي بعلّي
I tell our story and my voice gets louder
وبدل بإيدي ع اللي
And I shake hands with those
ما شفت بحبه علة
I didn't see any fault in loving him
يسوى كل المعمورة
It's worth everything in the world
كرمالك لخاطر
For your sake
وأمشي بالمخاطر
And I take risks
ولولا الناس حملوني
If people hadn't supported me
وقالوا عني مجنوني
And called me crazy
ما قلبي اتغير حاله
My heart won't change
لعندك راح لحاله
It will remain for you alone
وعينيّ وعمري بحاله
And my eyes and my life belong to you alone
كرامة عينك مرهوني
My dignity is tied to your eyes
يابا، يابا
Oh father, oh father
يابا، يابا، يابا
Oh father, oh father, oh father
