Daret el Ayam
(Days go by)
Om Kalsoum (translated by Nabil Gheith)
We daret el ayam
Days go by
We maret el ayam
And days passed
Mabane bead we khisam
Between distant and argument
We abelto - neseet eny khismtoh
I met him - I forgot my argument
We nesset el liel ely seharto
And forget the nights I was up
We sameht 3azab alby we Herto
And I forgive my heart pain and confusion
Ma aarafish azay ana kalemto
I don't know how I spoke to him
Ma aadarsh ala bo3ad Habibi
I can't manage to miss my lover
Ana lya meen ela Habibi
I have no one else but my lover
Aabelny we el ashwaa fi 3aneh
He met me and the passion in his eyes
Salem - we khad eady fi eadah
He shakes and took my hand in his hand
We hames li aly el Ha3a 3aleh
He mumbles and admits it's his mistake
Nesset sa3atha be3adena leh
In this moment I forgot everything
Fane demoa 3aeny ely ma namet layal
Where is my tear at nights
Be abtesama men 3ayonoh
A smile from his eye
Amer azab - we aHla azab
Sour pain and sweet pain
Azab el hop lel ahbab
The love pain to the lovers
Ma adertsh asbor yom 3ala bo3adoh
I can't be patient to miss him one day
Da el saber 3ayez saber le waHdo
Because patience needs patience
Ma aadersh 3ala boad Habibi
I can't stand missing my lover
Ana leya meen elaHabibi
I have no one but my lover
Wa safoly el saber la eatoh khayal
They describe patience = I founded imagination
We kalam fi el hop ya dop yenaal
And love words just to be said
Ahrab men alby aroh ala fane
I escape from my heart - where to
Layalena el Helwa fi kol makan
Our lovely days in everywhere
Malenaha hop aHna el atnean
Woe filled love both of us

Oh, my god, for lovers
Hayara we mazlomeen - a el saber mosh adreen
Cofused and misjustice, they can't be patient

Because patience needs patience

Days rotate
We maret el ayam
And days passed

Dawn came after separation

And said to the love - wake up and be happy
Men farHety toht men el farHa
