Ahmed Diaa | Zaid Khaled • From “Sahar El Layaly”
Khatem Lyrics Translation (from “Sahar El Layaly”)
Zaid Khaled and Ahmed Diaa sing about a stolen melody. The lyrics describe being a ring on the hand of the beloved. They ask for permission to come closer.
Wa Ana Min Al 6 Alayki BarinnI’ve been calling you since six o’clock.
Ma Bitsa’al Anni LehWhy don’t you ever ask about me?
Bitsarraq Min Tammi Al LahnYou’re stealing the melody right from my mouth,
Tab Quli Aghani EhSo tell me, what should I sing?
Atina Ya Helwa IznGive me permission, beautiful one.
Taei Wa Alqina Aw Ana AjilakCome find us, or I’ll come to you.
Khatem Bi’idakI’m just a ring on your hand.
Kunt Shuft Imbareh Elik SuraI saw a picture of you yesterday.
Lissatki AmmuraYou’re still so beautiful.
Wa Kul Sahabik Kanu HawalaykiAnd all your friends were surrounding you,
Wa Lissa Aynayki FazuraAnd your eyes are still a mystery,
Mabsuta Wa MaksuraBoth happy and broken.
Wa Kalami Lissa Kuluh AlaykiAnd all my words are still about you.
Wa Lissa Biyaqtilni Al ShawqAnd this longing is still killing me,
Mistani Ashufik FawqWaiting to see you up there.
Law Mish Ma’aya Di Mish NihayaIf you aren’t with me, it’s not the end.
Wa Lissa Dayil SawtAnd the voice is still lingering.
Kam Marra Bi Yawmi BamutHow many times a day do I die?
Bas Kuluh Yihun Wa Inti Ma’ayaBut it all gets easier when you’re with me.
Wa Ana Min Al 6 Alayki BarinnI’ve been calling you since six o’clock.
Ma Bitsa’al Anni LehWhy don’t you ever ask about me?
Bitsarraq Min Tammi Al LahnYou’re stealing the melody right from my mouth,
Tab Quli Aghani EhSo tell me, what should I sing?
Atina Ya Helwa IznGive me permission, beautiful one.
Taei Wa Alqina Aw Ana AjilakCome find us, or I’ll come to you.
Khatem Bi’idakI’m just a ring on your hand.
