Lyrics Translation:
بتذكر آخر مرّة شفتك سنتا؟
Do you remember the last time I saw you that year?
Btezakkar ākher marra shiftek seneta?
بتذكر وقتا آخر كلمة قلتا؟
Do you remember then the last word you said?
Btezakkar wa’ta ākher kilme ‘elta?
وما عدت شفتك وهلّق شفتك
I haven’t seen you since, and now I see you
W ma ‘odet shiftek w halla’ shiftek
كيفك إنتَ؟ مَلّا إنتَ
How are you? Oh, you
Kifak enta? Malla enta
بتذكر آخر سهره سهرتا عنّا؟
Do you remember the last evening you spent at our place?
Btezakkar ākher sahra saharta ‘anna?
بتذكر كان في وحدة مضايق منّا؟
Do you remember there was someone annoyed with us?
Btezakkar kan fi wahed mdaye’ menna?
هيدي إمّي بتعتَل هَمّي
That’s my mother, she worries about me
Haydi emmi bta’tel hammi
منّك إنتَ ملّا إنت
Because of you, oh you
Mennak enta, malla enta
كيفك؟ قال عم بيقولو صار عندك ولاد
How are you? They say you have children now
Kifak? Al ‘am by2olo sar ‘andak wlad
أنا والله كنت مفكّرتك برّات البلاد
I swear I thought you were abroad
Ana walla kent mfakkartak barraat el bilad
شو بدّي بالبلاد الله يخلّي الولاد
What do I care about the country, God bless the children
Shu baddi bel bilad, Allah ykhalli el wlad
إي كيفك إنتَ؟ مَلّا إنتَ
So, how are you? Oh, you
Eh kifak enta? Malla enta
بيطلع عَ بالي إرجع أنا ويّاك
I feel like getting back together with you
Byetla’ ‘a bali erja’ ana w yakk
إنت حلالي إرجع أنا ويّاك
You’re my lawful partner, let’s get back together
Enta halali, erja’ ana w yakk
أنا وانتَ مَلّا إنت
Me and you, oh you
Ana w enta, malla enta
بتذكر آخر مرّة شو قلتلّي
Do you remember the last time, what you told me?
Btezakkar ākher marra shu ‘eltelli
بدّك ضلّي بدّك فيكي تفلّي
You want me to stay, you want, you can leave
Baddak dalli, baddak fiki tfalli
زعلت بوقتا وما حلّلتا
I got upset then, didn’t analyze it
Za’let b wa’ta w ma hallalta
إنّو إنتَ هيدا إنت
That you are, this is you
Enno enta hayda enta
بترجع عَ راسي رغم العيَل والناس
You come back to my mind despite family and people
Bt-erja’ ‘a rasi raghm el ‘ayel w el nas
إنت الأساسي وبحبّك بالأساس
You’re the main one, and I love you fundamentally
Enta el asasi w bhebbak bel asas
بحبّك انت ملّا إنت
I love you, oh you
Bhebbak enta, malla enta
