Kul ma betalla’ bi sheghleWhenever I look at something I want,

Ma baddi hebbak esmahliI don’t want to love you, please forgive me,
Khawfi albi yewjaaniI’m just afraid my heart will ache.
Men fadlak la t’arreb rouhPlease, don’t let your soul get close,
Ba’i endi shwayyet rouhI only have a little bit of spirit left.
Ma bet-hammal baad jrouhI can’t handle any more wounds,
Baad jerh byo’tolnianother wound will surely kill me.
Ya mashaer albi tehdiOh emotions, let my heart find peace,
Walla dmoui hara’et khadditruly, my tears have burned my cheek.
Kellama baashaq berjaa bighra’Every time I fall in love, I drown again,
Mesh am la’i hada haddiand I don’t find anyone by my side.
Ya iyam el hebb ensiniOh days of love, forget me,
