Song Lyrics
أنا لحبيبي وحبيبي إلي
I belong to my lover, and my lover belongs to me.
Ana la habibi wa habibi ili.
يا عصفورة بيضا لا بقى تسألي
O little white bird, don’t keep asking.
Ya asfoura bayda la ba’a tas’ali.
لا يعتب حدا ولا يزعل حدا
Let no one blame or be upset.
La ya’teb hada wala yez’al hada.
أنا لحبيبي وحبيبي إلي
I belong to my lover, and my lover belongs to me.
Ana la habibi wa habibi ili.
حبيبي ندهلي قلّي الشتي راح
My lover called me, told me the winter is gone.
Habibi nadah li, ‘alli esh-shiti rah.
رجعت اليمامي زهّر التفاح
The doves returned, the apple trees blossomed.
Raja’at el-yamami, zahar et-tuffah.
وأنا على بابي الندي والصباح
And on my door, the dew and the morning.
Wa ana ‘ala babi en-nada was-sabah.
وبعيونك ربيعي نوّر وحلي
And in your eyes, my spring is illuminated and sweetened.
Wa b’uyunak rabii’ nuwwar wa halli.
وندهلي حبيبي جيت بلا سؤال
My lover called me, I came without question.
Wa nadah li habibi, jit bila su’al.
من نومي سرقني من راحة البال
He stole me from my sleep, from peace of mind.
Min naumi sara’ani min rahat el-bal.
وأنا على دربو ودربو عالجمال
And I am on his path, and his path is of beauty.
Wa ana ‘ala darbuh wa darbuh ‘al-jamal.
يا شمس المحبة حكايتنا أغزلي
O sun of love, weave our tale.
Ya shams el-mahabba, hikaytna aghzili.
