[Instrumental Intro]
(Slow melancholic piano chords and weeping acoustic oud)
[Chorus]
w sakkantek fi glibi -- w tmannitilii skoutou
3chrin... rbi3 kif hanou? w kif esshab yفoutou??
khmsa nbdat lgalbi, chkoun ghayrek sakkat souto
w faadi elli habbek, ba3touh brkhis ma chritou
[Verse 1]
w mnin nbda hal hkaya? ... w mnin ygader yسمعها?
gttta3t 3lik thnaya ... kan errojla ytawa3ha
emmmchatt hmoumek bidiyya ... w ghassaltek bma el3in essafi
w ghi-chira sakantek fi dal3i ... w 7sabtek barnousi eddafi
3la chahwa fi tou7ima ... jibt er-rabi3 liddik
w noujoum essma nhabatha ... ghir bach nradik!
w zmrroud w yagout ... khabitek fi knini...
bjah rabbi berka goli ... kifach najjmati tkhounini?
w ab3edni w zid ab3ed ... cha3ra barka gtatltini!
[Verse 2]
shart n9arrik w n3ali ... fi m9aamek w fi chanak
w el-yom ki richtak nabtat ... ban el-ghadr fi kyanak
3ayyt ngarrik w na3lam ... w min 3arqi chrabti kasi
fi el-ghadr tla3ti oustatha ... w gta3t 3liya anfasi
7sabtek dwa l-jra7ati ... bant fi la7mi sakakink
b-skin 7afi dbha7ti ... 7add allah beni w benek!
w 3archi hajartou w dha7it ... w fi bard el-ghorba dafitk
w douba ma chafti louanha ... thasabni ma ritk!
[Bridge]
(Voice breaking, extreme sorrow)
ba3tini l-7elm ghrib ... w nsiti dam snini?
w l-chkoun? l-wald er-roumi? ... ba3tini b-wald er-roumi?
ya laytni ma chritk!!!
w 3zouz kharef goulti ... ettarjem li-roumi w etthemmi!
zouz rkayeb ta7ou ... la7metk min la7mi w dami...
lil w khyaytatou b-nharou ... bach naster el-3ach w nsonou
w el-yom radditini kharef ... ki el-e3oud elli ta7ou ghosounou!
w nsiiti khmsa w 3chrin ... ya rabb el-schema w el-3alamin!
b-skin 7afi dbha7ti ... 7add allah beni w benek!
[Verse 3]
w el-khir elli zara3tou fik ... fi la7dat tama3 nkartih
khmsa kbadi 7chaya ... b-el-batel radditihom d-di
chouhati wajhi el-bay ... w ankarti chgay w kaddi
el anani elli kifik ... 7yatou b-yidou 7aTamha
Ousoul 3ichra wel mil7 3omrik ma kont tifhimha
[Verse 4]
(Quiet, exhausted, intimate delivery)
ta7t mrid nitwajja3 ... nastanna nafsak ya7yini
nalgak ta7sabi el-3adda ... w emta el-lo7oudi tغattini
tam3a fi 7ajar bnitou ... min jar7i ghabal snini
ya khayna ayyamik ... minni okhrouji w ansini
[Outro]
(Epic, cinematic fading into absolute silence)
w benek w ben el-janna ... nouggaf ana nchkilo
li rabb essma w el-ard ... wallah ma na7kilo
w lawah ana na7ki? ... w howa khallaSni mennak
la chakwa la lom 3leek ... kafaya elli 3amalti fiyy
3chrin khrif nidfinhoum ... w esmak mat m3a mathiyya
[Ending]
(A single final piano note echoing into silence)
