Updated translation
So to explain, the crux of the song is the dichotomy of "urbak nar wa bu3dak nar (قربك نار وبعدك نار)" which is the idea that whether I'm close to you or far from you I'm on fire, when I'm close to you it's fire because of the passion, and far from you it's fire (which is the same word for "hell" in Arabic by the way) because it's torture.
Ragheb Alama is a Lebanese singer who has been around for a long time. He was popular in the early 90s, then he changed and shaved off his mustache around the turn of the millenium, which has given his career a major second wind. Also, a fan attempted to shoot him but he survived.
Chorus:
Next to you I'm on fire
Far from you I'm on fire (or, it's hell)
Inside of me a fire is raging
And it's not up to me to choose (whether to be near or far)
Next to you I'm on fire
Far from you I'm on fire
I need a remedy for my condition
When I think of you
Your image leaves me sleepless
But I never cross your mind
And I'm waiting for the day to come
That you say "I love you and I'm waiting for you"
And I'll wait for you to say that to me
My heart is feeling all sorts of things
And having strange feelings for you
You are beside me inside my heart, near or far
I'll never leave you
Your flames are growing
The fire of your love is consuming me

بتيجى فى بالى وخيالك يطير من عينيا النوم
ولا بخطر على بالك وهستنى يجيلك يوم
انت قربك نار
انت بعدك نار
جوة منى نار بتغلى ومش بايدى اختار
يا دوا حالى
بتيجى فى بالى وخيالك يطير من عينية النوم
ولا بخطر على بالك وهستنى يجيلك يوم
تقول بهواك وبستناك وهستناك تقولهالى
قلبى شاعر بالمشاعر حس بيك احساس غريب
وانت جنبى جوة قلبى حتى وانت بعيد قريب
مش هسيبك زيد لهيبك نار هواك بتحلالى
دبت لكن انت ساكن جوة روحى من سنين
انت شايف انت عارف انت بالنسبالى مين
مش هسيبك زيد لهيبك نار هواك بتحلالى
بتيجى فى بالى وخيالك يطير من عينية النوم
ولا بخطر على بالك وهستنى يجيلك يوم
تقول بهواك و بستناك وهستناك تقولهالى
