همسة همسة احكيني
Speak to me softly and gently

بكلمة ولع فيّ حنيني
Ignite my longing with just one word

غازلني برموش العين
Flirt with me through your fluttering eyelashes

غمرني بعد عليّ دين
Surround me with your love

I want to love you for two lifetimes

عمري ما بيكفيني
One lifetime is not enough for me

يالا غل بروحي تعا
Come on, take my soul and go with me

والدقة اللي بقلبي اسمعا
Listen to the beat in my heart

ياخوفي من دونك حبيبي روحي ضيعت
I am afraid that without you, my love, I would be lost

You, my love, are an angel on my heart

بكل الدني ما ببدلك
I wouldn't trade you for anything in the world
