Halet Tawari”s Wenak Habibi Arabic Lyrics English Translation

The lyrics poetically narrate the pain of waiting for a loved one, with lines like ‘I waited for you while the world was draped in night’. This imagery highlights the deep sense of solitude and yearning that the vocalist experiences. The repetition of ‘Where are you, my love?’ emphasizes the continuous search and unanswered questions in the heart of the narrator.

Natartak w ed dunya layl la hali w gharibeI waited for you while the world was draped in night, all alone and feeling like a stranger,
Am yisaalni el layl wenak habibi?and the night itself keeps asking me, “Where are you, my love?”
Ishtaqt lak kteerI’ve missed you so much,
W ma baaref cho byiseer?and I don’t even know what’s happening anymore,
Wenak habibi? Habibi?where are you, my love? My love?
Ta’a khezni b ideekCome, take me in your hands,
Ta’a khabbini b ayneekcome, hide me within your eyes,
Albi am yisaalni annak, wenak habibi?my heart keeps asking me about you—where are you, my love?
Ma baaref cho baddi ellak? Wenak habibi?I don’t even know what I want to say to you, where are you, my love?
Ah wenak habibi? Rah yekhlas waqt el laylAh, where are you, my love? The night’s hours are nearly spent,
Ma baaref emta betrja’a?and I’ve no idea when you’ll return?
Erreb has sabah yetla’a wenak habibi?The morning’s about to break, so where are you, my love?
Ana am nadeek betesma’a wenak habibi?I’m calling out to you—can you hear me? Where are you, my love?
Ishtaqt lak kteerI’ve missed you so much,
W ma baaref cho byiseer?and I don’t even know what’s happening anymore,
Wenak habibi? Habibi?where are you, my love? My love?
