Nawal al-Zoghbi - Don't You Ever Get Tired?نوال الزغبي - ما بتتعب دخلك؟Ma Btataab Dakhlek

An old but classic Nawal song.

Nawal al-Zoghbi - Don't You Ever Get Tired? Everytime we meet he starts to speak And ask me without hearing an answer Instead of saying to me "My dear, what's wrong?" He passes the whole time Nagging and nagging

Don't you ever get tired jeez?
You nag me until the sun comes up
I'll say some nice word to you
To change this atmosphere a little

Listen to me without nagging me
Let's be lovers
Tell me I love you
I love you the more the moon sets
Owf! Owf!
Let us sing my darling until the sun comes up

That's enough quit nagging me and telling me stuff
And making me mad and then trying to make me feel better
When you get nervous and jealous
Owf! Owf!
Let us sing my darling until the sun comes up

نوال الزغبي - ما بتتعب دخلك؟

كلّ مرّة منلتقي بيبدأ الحكي
و بيصير يسألني و لا بيسمع جواب
و بدال ما يقلّي يا حلوة شو بكي؟
بيمضى الوقت كلّو عتاب بعتاب

ما بتتعب دخلك و لو؟
تعاتبني لطلوع الضو
إحكيلك شي كلمه حلوه
تشويّ نغيّر هالجو

سمّعني غير العتاب و خلّينا أحباب
و قلّي بحبّك أنا بحبّك كل ما القمر غاب
أوف يابا أوف
و خلّينا نغنّي يا حبيبي حتّى طلوع الضو

بيكفّي حاجي تعاتبني و تجبلي أخبار
و تزعّلني و تراضيني و تعصّب وتغار
أوف يابا أوف
خلّينا نغنّي يا حبيبي حتّى طلوع الضو

Stay, because my soul is in you

Inside of me is a neverending desire
I can't live without your love
Why have the nights taken you so far?
When you my precious are my only love
A night my darling
Stay with me
A night my darling
Without end
A night my darling

ليله حبيبي

Samira Said - We're Throughسميرة سعيد - ما خلاصMa Khalas

Updated media and translation

Samira Said - It's Over We're through, what do you want from me? Get away from me Try to understand the past is over Forget it

We're through, what brought you here again?
Put your mind at ease and forget me
I don't want you anymore

You say "you were once in love with me"
Quite frankly, I don't remember you anymore (meaning she no longer loves him)
So what are you talking about?

We're through, you've missed you chance
Go ahead and dream if you want
What do you want me to do for you?

Oh god, you're begging me
And you're dreaming of me
Why??
No, calm down a little
This is your imagination running wild

Don't let it even cross your mind that I might be returning to you
Look at yourself
Your talk will do no good

You are the one who started this separation
So it's normal that I am being cruel to you now
It's all nothing to me
My eyes see you and don't miss you

سميرة سعيد - ما خلاص

ما خلاص عايز ايه منى ايه
ابعد بقى عنى ايه
حاول تفهمنى الماضى خلاص انساه

ما خلاص ايه جابك تانى ايه
ارتاح وانسانى ايه
واللى هييجى منك والله مانيش عايزاه

بتقول انا كنت زمان بهواك
بصراحه انا مش فاكراك
وبتتكلم عن ايه

ماخلاص راحت يا حبيبى عليك
عايز تحلم خليك
وعايزنى اعملك ايه

يا سلام بتحايل في ايه
وبتحلم بي ليه
لا اهدى شويه
ده خيالك راح لبعيد

وبلاش يخطر على بالك لا
ان انا راجعالك لا
ما تشوف بقى حالك
ده كلامك مش هيفيد

انت اللى بالبعد بادى
ودلوقتى عادى انى اقسى عليك
كل اللى هاين علي تشوفك عيني ولا تحن ليك

Nawal al-Zoghbi - All My Lifeنوال الزغبي - طول عمريToul Omry

Updated media and translation

This song was obviously made during the Latin music craze that brought us Ricky Martin. Nawal's videos tend to emulate whatever is en vogue in pop like that.

Nawal al-Zoghbi - All My Life All my life I dream, my precious You are the dream of my nights From a glance I changed myself And my heart and my soul are with you I swear to God My life... So long as I'm with you my heart will be full of joy And my eyes...Even if you're far will see you I swear to God I loved you at first sight

Reassure me, be with me
You are the most beautiful story
Our love is without end
Cmon, let's forget that which has past together

نوال الزغبي - طول عمري

طول عمري بحلم ياغالي
إن انت حلم الليالي
من نظرة غيرت حالي
و قلبي و روحي معاك و الله
حياتي.. طول مانا وياك
ليلاتي.. فرح قلبي معاك
و عيني.. لو بعيد شايفاك
عشقتك والله من طلة

طمني خليك معايا
يالي انت أجمل حكاية
ده هوانا من غير نهاية
ويلا تعالا ننسى اللي فات يلا

Nawal al-Zoghbi - They've Always Said Itنوال الزغبي - ياما قالواYama Alou

Updated media and translation

Nawal al-Zoghbi - They've Always Said It They've always said it Go ahead let em say it That our love is like this and our love is like that And we've spread our passion everywhere Let em repeat it More and more This is this is what I feel and what I'm going through My love, you guys, is better than a dream

Get close to my heart that's always sang for you
That dreams of being with you
And keeps on hoping

My soul my life
I'm melting in your love
You and me are one
I'm part of you
And my love is yours

It's hell for me to wait like this, my darling, when I have this in my heart
My feelings could fill this entire world
Come see me
Missing you has melted me and tortured me
And I'm still just as confused

نوال الزغبي - ياما قالوا

ياما قالوا
ما يقولوا
حبينا كده وهوينا كده
و ملينا الدنيا غرام في غرام
ما يعيدوا
و يزيدوا
ده اللي انا حاساه و اللي انا عيشاه
في الحب يا ناس ولافي الاحلام

قرب من قلبي اللي عشانك
ياما غنى و غنى
و بيحلم بلقاك يا حبيبي
و لسه بيتمنى

روحي انا عمري انا
انا دايبة في حبك و هواك
ده انت انا اه يا انا
انا منك وهوايا هواك

على ناري يا حبيبي
بستنى كده و في قلبي كده
أشواق تملى الدنيا بحالها
ح تجيني
تلاقيني
الشوق دوب فيا و عذب
و الحيرة بتفظل على حالها

Wael Kfoury - Get Close to Meوائل كفوري - قرب ليا

Updated media and translation

Sounds like a love song, but in the video its all about him and his kid.

Wael Kfoury - Get Close to Me Darling get close to me So my arms can hold you You know how much I love you And how precious you are to me

Darling may you be by my side
I want nothing but your eyes
I'm afraid of being my myself
If you're away from me for a little

How I love you when you speak
While you draw a smile on your lips
How I love you when you cry and complain
When I'm holding you with me
Darling you are the most wonderful person
My life is more wonderful with you
Your aroma your charm
Your voice your image
Have become part of me, inside me

Oh sweetheart reassure me that you won't leave me
You are my love and the trembling of my heart
And you are the light of my eyes
Oh darling you are precious
You are the moon of the nights
Stay beside me and put my mind at ease
And hold me tenderly

وائل كفوري - قرب ليا

يا حبيبي قرب ليّ
تضمك بايدي
انت بتعرف انا شو بحبك
وقديش غالي عليّ

حبيبي خليك حدي
غير عيونك ما بدي
بخاف الوحدة ابقى لوحدي
لو بتغيب شويه

شو بحبك لما بتحكي
ترسم ع شفافك ضحكة
شو بحبك لما بتبكي بتشكي
وعم بتغلغل فييّ
حبيبي انتا الاحلى
عمري بقربك عم يحلى
عطرك سحرك
صوتك رسمك
صاروا مني وفييّ

يا حبيب قلبي طمني
انك ما بتبعد عني
انت حبي ورعشة قلبي
وانت نور عينيّ
يا حبيبي انتا الغالي
انت قمر الليالي
ظل قبالي وريح بالي
وغمرني بحنية

Nancy Ajram - Take Your Eyes Off Meنانسي عجرم - شيل عيونك عنيSheel Oyoonak Anni

Updated media and translation

This is little Nancy's first big song when she was fifteen or something. The video starts with a group of very young girls trying to avoid the gaze of what appears to be the sight of a sniper rifle (we're later relieved to find that in fact it is just a creepy guy watching Nancy on a security camera). Although she initially tries to shake the lurid gaze, she finally succumbs and says "Look at me, I wanna sing." And a star was born

Nancy Ajram - Take Your Eyes Off Me Take your eyes off me Leave me along I wanna sing My heart is still little You're confusing me One glance from you drives me crazy One glance from you drives me crazy Oh... drives me crazy

Your glances are not calm
They want, but you don't know what you want
Tell them they better not cross the line
Tell them they better not cross the line
Get away from me, I wanna sing
Get away from me, I wanna sing
Oh... I wanna sing

Your eyes' glances are dangerous
And the most dangerous thing is they're beautiful
They cast their spell on me years ago
They cast their spell on me years ago
Look at me, I wanna sing
Look at me, I wanna sing
Oh... I wanna sing

نانسي عجرم - شيل عيونك عني

شيل عيونك عني
تركني اعرف غني
بعدو قلبي صغير
محيرني ومحير
نظرة منك بتجنني
نظرة منك بتجنني
آه... بتجنني

نظراتك مش عم تتهدى
بدا وما بتعرف شو بدك
قلا لازم تلزم حدا
قلا لازم تلزم حدا
وتبعد عني بدي غني
وتبعد عني بدي غني
آه... بدي غني

نظرات عيونك خطرين
واخطر ما فيهن حلوين
سحرن ساحرني من سنين
سحرن ساحرني من سنين
اطلع فيي بدي غني
اطلع فيي بدي غني
آه... بدي غني

Nawal al-Zoghbi - Strange Way of Thinkingنوال الزغبي - غريب الراي

Updated media and translation

I apologize for the video, you'll have to skip through the interview at the beginning to get to the song. It's the writer of the song, and he's talking about how Nawal wanted to make a song in the Gulf dialect and he wrote it etc.

Nawal al-Zoghbi - Strange Way of Thinking You are the cause of my misfortunes, my confusion and my misery Love is for you alone And you have a strange way of thinking

You made me live in confusion
And with worry and jelousy
You hurt my feelings, try being faithful with me

You lighted a fire in me
And you never cared
Have mercy if for once
And win, my darling, my satisfaction

Where has loyalty gone?
Its address is lost
Your injustice to me was enough to mess up my world

Oh the confusion of my eyes
The color of sadness is my color
My wounds are from you
My estrangement and my misfortune

My love, help me
Make a pact with me to love
Who do I complain to besides you?
You're my only wish and desire

نوال الزغبي - غريب الراي

إنت سبب بلواي يا حيرتي وشكواي
الحب ليك وحدك
وانت غريب الراي

عيشتني بحيرة
وبهم وبغيرة
يا جارح احساسي
عيش الوفا وياي

أشعلت بي ناري
وانت ولا داري
ارحم ولو مرة
واكسب حبيبي رضاي

وين الوفا وينه
ضاعت عناوينه
يكفيني من ظلمك
ضاقت علي دنياي

يا حيرة عيوني
لون الحزن لوني
جرحي أنا منك
يا غربتي وبلواي

يا خلي ساعدني
بالحب عاهدني
مين غيرك اشكي له
يا غايتي ومناي

Updated media and lyrics

Ragheb Alama - Make Me Forget the World Make me forget the world Make me forget the world Melt me darling And make me tell you the most beautiful things If there were thousand worlds If there were thousand worlds It wouldn't be possible for me to find a love like this

If I tell you I love you
The word love would be nothing compared to how I feel for you
If I'm away from you for a second
I return to, longing for your eyes
Hold me, stay here with me
Cmon let's live the most beautiful days

It was the most beautiful day in my life
The day I met you, my life
I can't go on without you
Without even thinking
I was melting in your love
You took me from everyone
I felt the most beautiful feelings
And I forgot the world with you darling
Ah

I carry you inside me
And this world as my witness
I'm by your side and I love you
I could never forget you darling
I hope the years go on
And I stay loving you all the way
Oh how I've dreamed to be with you
Ah

راغب علامة - نسيني الدنيا

نسيني الدنيا
نسيني العالم
دوبني حبيبي
وسبني اقولك احلي كلام
لو الف الدنيا

مش ممكن زي غرامك انت الاقي غرام

لو اقولك اني بحبك
الحب شوية عليك
لو ثانية انا ببعد عنك
برجع مشتاق لعنيك
ضمني خليك وياية
دوبني ودوب في هواية
تعال نعيش اجمل ايام

كان اجمل يوم في حياتي
يوم ماقابلتك ياحياتي
ماقدرتش اتحمل من غيرك
ماافكر لحظة
لقيتني بدوب في هواك
خدتني من كل الناس
عشت في اجمل احساس
ونسيت ياحبيبي الدنيا معاك
آه ه ه ه

انا شايلك جوه عنيّه
والدنيا دي شاهده عليّه
انا جنبك وبحبك
مش ممكن اقدر انا يا حبيبي انساك
بتمني العمر يطول
وافضل احبك علي طول
ده انا ياما حلمت اكون وياك
آه ه ه ه

Ragheb Alama - Don't Tell Me Laterراغب علامة - ما تقوليش بعدينMatouleesh Baadein

Updated media and translation

From the album Tab Leh (طب ليه)

Ragheb Alama - Don't Tell Me Later I love you Don't tell me later Later doesn't matter to me I want you to forget And for me to forget the universe So long as our two hearts are united I love you Don't tell me later

The letters of your name spell me
I'm a word in your songs
I love you and who can say I'm lying?
So long as my heart recognizes you

Days pass we don't know how many
As if our lifetime was just two hours

And besides you who understands me
From the look in your eyes
And besides you who accepts me
And can put up with my madness

راغب علامة - ما تقوليش بعدين

بحبك
متقوليش بعدين
انا ميهمنيش بعدين
بحبك تنسى
وانسى
الكون مادام اتوحدوا القلبين
بحبك متقوليش بعدين

حروف اسمك بتكتبنى
اكون كلمة فى اغانيكى
بحبك ومين يكدبنى
مادام قلبى اعترف بيكى

تفوت ايام ما نعرف كام
كأن العمر كان ساعتين

ومين غيرك بيفهمنى
من النظرة اللى فعيونى
ومين غيرك بيقبلنى
ويتحملنى بجنونى

Where do I wanna go
I don't want anything but peace and quiet
You're calling me all day
Waiting by the phone
There's nothing better than this life
There isn't any information
I remember every day
I was once young

Don't let anyone be upset
Have a good time, we're all human
Descend upon the sea of desire
Go ahead forget your troubles
We'll dance to music
Sing with me cmon
Let me show you
There is no more beautiful sun-color

Shake shake one two

Left right one two

هزوا هزوا واحد اتنين
شمال يمين واحد اتنين
شمال يمين واحد اتنين

خليك فاهم أنا مش فاهم

إنت جرح بيا كلامك
وأنا عايش ليك ولأحلامك
طيب بكره تشوف قريب
تندم أوي على كل كلامك
أنت مفكر أنك تقدر تيجي عليا
ده أنا بمزاجي بسيبك بس شويه
شايف نفسك طبعا حقك
منت تعبت كتير يا حبيبي
وإنت بتحلم بيا
قلت علي مسابق ظلك وانت ناسيني
بعد ده كله بكل براءه تاني تجيني
أنا لا غصبتك ولا يوم جيت لك
الله يرحم لما زمان شفت الدنيا بعيني

Updated media and translation

Nancy Ajram - Say it Again Say it again Who do you mean, me? Our love, our passion Is that what you're talking about

Oh you forget our love and take with you our nights, our years, and our lives
It's me who was faithful to you, fell in love and adored you
Our love was lost by your hands

What kind of lover are you?
Is this your love?
Wake up
Do you think that with one word from you
That's it I'll forgive you and I'll forget right away?

For passion, it's still early for you
And I'll never think of you again
I was by your side and your heart left me
Looks like your love was just talk

نانسي عجرم - قول تاني كده

قول تاني كده
مين تقصد انا؟
حبنا عشقنا
هو انت بتتكلم عننا

ياناسي هواك وواخد معاك ليالي وسنين عمرنا
ده انا اللي اشتريت ودوبت وهويت
وضاع من ايديك حبنا

انت مين ف الهوي وفي الشوق
هو انت حبك ده ايه
ماتفوق
ولا انت فكرك بكلمه منك
خلاص حسامحك وحنسي قوام

في الغرام لسه بدري عليك
ولاعمري تاني حفكر فيك
ده انا كنت جنبك وسابني قلبك
اتاري حبك كلام في كلام

Updated media and translation

Ragheb Alama is a Lebanese singer. This is one of the most famous songs he's put out since his renaissance.

Ragheb Alama - My Great Love You are my great love The first and last No one but you my darling My heart is captive to your love

I adore the light of your eyes
Adoring its passion and magic
My soul is in your hands
And my life is your property

I love you so much

So often I've been sleepless at night
With you on my mind and imagination
As I hope for a glance from you
And wait for a word from you
Your love, my darling, taught me the beautiful meaning of patience

Ask my heart and my eyes
They will tell you about me
I can't live apart from you
And I don't have anything in the world apart from you
It's impossible darling
For my heart to soften towards anyone but you

راغب علامة - الحب الكبير

انت الحب الكبير
الاول و الاخير
و لا غيرك يا حبيبي

انا عاشق نور عينيك
عاشق غرامها و سحرها
انا روحي ما بين ايديك
و حياتي انت ملكتها

بحبك كتيييير

ياما سهرت الليالي
و انت فبالي و خيالي

و بتمني نظره منك
بستنى كلمة منك
علمني هواك يا غالي
معنى الصبر الجميل

انا عاشق نور عينيك
عاشق غرامها و سحرها
انا روحي ما بين ايديك
و حياتي انت ملكتها

اسأل قلبي و عيني
يقولولك علي بيا

مقدرش اعيش في بعدك
و ما ليش في الدنيا بعدك
مش ممكن يا حبيبي قلبي لغيرك يلين

Nawal al-Zoghbi - Normalنوال الزغبي - عادي

Updated media and translation

Nawal al-Zoghbi - Normal It's so normal for you To preocuppy me with your love Its so normal for you to hurt me with your love

If you killed me, I would love you
Just cuz I'd be dying with you
It's normal for you to preocuppy me
Its normal for you to hurt me with your love

It doesn't matter, make a promise and break it
I wouldn't blame you and you know that
If you hurt my heart once
It's normal to let the wound bleed

Getting preoccupied with your passion
A moment that I wait and long for
If you search inside me
You'll find yourself in there

نوال الزغبي - عادي

عادي عادي تشغلني تشغلني
في حبك عادي عادي تجرحني تجرحني بهواك

لو تموتني أحبك
بس أموت أنا معاك
عادي تشغلني في حبك
عادي تجرحني بهواك

مو مهم أوعد و إخلف
ما أعاتب و إنت تعرف
لو جرحت القلب مرة
عادي خلي الجرح ينزف

إنشغالي في غرامك
لحظة أنطرها و أبيها
لو تفتش في ضلوعي
تلقى نفسك إنت فيها

Carol Samaha - Precious to Meكارول سماحة - غالي عليّGhali AlayPrécieux pour moi

This video is pretty interesting, although not entirely exceptional in Lebanon. It depicts rural Lebanese (Christian) life as imagined and romanticized, with its subjects picking grapes and smashing them to make wine.

Carol Samaha - Precious to Me From the first moment we met There is something strange It changed my life and sweetened my days My eyes no longer see anyone but you before me Suddenly that which I felt was too much for me to handle And what I had dreamed for so long came true

You're precious to me
Hold me close and look into my eyes
I no longer can live a minute without you
Precious to me, precious to me

Come closer to me
Don't deny me your love
Care for me
Protect me and bring me closer to you
Get close to me, get close to me

I never imagined in my life that there was a person
Whomever he be
Able to keep me up at night with a single word
And that when he was away his voice would remain in my head
Suddenly that which I felt was too much for me to handle
And what I had dreamed for so long came true

كارول سماحة - غالي عليّ


من أول ما تلاقينا أنا وياك
في شي غريب
غير عمري وصار يحلي أيامي
ما عاد عيوني يشوفو غيرك إدامي
فجأة يللي حسيته
أكبر من اللي لاقيته
وتحقق يللي حلمته من زمان

غالي علي
غمرني وخدني لعيونك
ما عاد فيي عيش دقيقة من دونك
غالي عليي غالي عليي

قرب لي
لا تحرمني من حبك
خاف عليي
احميني واتركني بقربك
قرب ليي قرب ليي

ما تصورت بحياتي في انسان
لو مين ماكان
تقدر كلمة منه تسهرني ليالي
ولما يبعد يبقى صوته ببالي
فجأة يللي حسيته
أكبر من اللي لاقيته
وتحقق يللي حلمته من زمان

Carol Samaha - Look at Me كارول سماحة - اتطلع فيهRegarde-moiEttalla fiyeh

Updated media and translation

Carol Samaha is a Lebanese pop singer. See below for random inexplicably inserted vocab words that are indicative of the Lebanese dialect present in this song.

Carol Samaha - Look at Me Look at me, like this Those are not your eyes These are not your caresses my darling Nor are they your hands There's something missing I feel like you're a stranger Like I've lost you, lost you By my side while I search for you

What changed you?
That child, where is he? What is it that made you grow up
Who is the reason?
Where is the love that was as big as the world and couldn't be beaten

Either put me back
Or take me
Or take me

You colored your eyes
And drew on your lips
In order to tell me it's still love
And that you're still the you that you were

You lie to yourself maybe
But you're not going to be able to lie to my heart
I know who you are
You aren't the love nor the thirst that I quenched (i.e. as he once way)
Nor are you the love that resides in my heart

You resemble someone else
And you are an echo of your voice
But you can't resemble yourself my love

كارول سماحة - اتطلع فيي

اتطلع فيي هيك
هودي مش عينيك
هيدي مش لمساتك يا حبيبي
ومش ايديك
في شي عم بيغيب
انا عم حسك غريب
ضايع مني ضايع
حدي وعم دور عليك

شو اللي غيرك
هاك الطفل وينه شو ياللي كبرك
مين السبب
وين الهوا اللي قد الدني وما بينغلب

يا تردني من حالي
ياما تاخذني ليك
ياما تاخذني ليك

لونت عيونك
ورسمت شفافك
تتقلي بعده الحب
بعدك انت اللي كنت
تكذب على حالك يمكن
لكن على قلبي مش راح تقدر تكذب لا
انا بعرف مينك انت

مش انت الهوا
ولا عطش اللي مني ارتوى
ولا انت الحب الساكن بقلبي
عم تشبه حدا
ولصوتك انت صدى
ولا قادر تشبه حالك يا حبي

انظر إليّ = اتطلع فيّ

Carol Samaha - Love You Like My Soul Oh darling, in my moment of weakness Make me stronger Oh darling, in my moment of coldness Warm me May you always be in there before me Don't be far May you always be close to my heart Cuz I don't want anyone but you

I love you like I love my soul, and you are more precious than my soul
If you left my side, my life would go with you

Make me forget the whole world, make me forget
You alone can make me sing
Make me live in a beautiful dreamland
Let me warm my hands in yours for all days

Oh darling your presence beside me reassures me
Your eyes understand me with one glance
I find myself in you no matter what
Not once have you worried me, my mind is at ease

كارول سماحة - حب الروح

آه يا حبيبي بلحظة ضعفي قويني
آه يا حبيبي بلحظة بردي دفيني
خليك على طول قبالي لا تكون بعيد
حبك على قلبي غالي وغيرك ما بريد

حبك حب الروح وأنت أغلى من الروح
لو من حدي تروح أنت عمري بيروح

نسيني العالم كلو نسيني
وحدك عن كل الناس بتغنيني
عيشني بدنيي جديدة أجمل أحلام
خليني دفي أيدي طول الأيام

يا حبيبي وجودك حدي طمني
عيونك من نظرة وحدة بتفهمني
أنا فيك بلاقي حالي بكل الأحوال
ولا مرة شاغل بالي مرتاح البال

Updated media and translation

ٍSherine is an Egyptian pop star. This song has appeared in Egyptian films such as "I want my rights" ('Aayz Haqqi).

Sherine Ahmed - My Patience is Running Out No no no no no no no (la means no just remember that) Chorus: I am not coming to tell you come back, listen Because my patience is running out Everytime you just run away Why should I try to get closer? You're keeping me up at night You took my soul, my years and my mind from me And left me with an ailing heart You are the one whose love dominates me and tortures me And puts me through hell

Because of how much you keep me up all night
And because of how much you leave me in this hell
The cruelness of your eyes scorches me
And you leave me in the middle of the stream
My heart sings and comes to you again because it's confused
And you're never there

You know I used to be melt from your passion, from your words and from you even saying hello
O darling my years that afflicted me (with love) and don't heal me
I will not let you hurt me again
I'm sick of this torment (literally: I'm sick of saying 'ah' in pain)
I've wasted my years with you

In your abscence darling I used up all my tears
I don't know for whom you're tossing me, hurting me and leaving me
You miss me for like a second and forget me for years
We will never be together again

It's the last time I put up with your love
You forget me and deceive me
And never once darling was I hard on you
While you were cruel and wore me out
How many times did I need you and call you, only to find you unwilling to listen
Have mercy on my tears

شيرين أحمد - صبري قليل

لالالالالالالالالالالالالا لالالالالالالا لالالالالالالالالالالالالا لالالالالالالا
أنا لاجية قولك إرجع اسمع
علشان أنا صبري قليل
كل مرة تهرب قرب على ايه
إنت مسهرني الليل
خت مني روحي عمري عقلي
وسايبني بقلب عليل
ياللي حبك إنت مغلبني معذبني
وموريني الويل

على قد ما بسهر ليلك
على قد ما بتسبني في نار
تكويني بي قسو عيونك
وتسبني في وسط التيار
يرجع قلبي يغنيلك ويجيلك
علشان يحتار
وإنت ولا إنت هينا هآ هآ هآ
دا أنا كنت بدوب في غرامك وكلامك وسلامك يا
ياحبيب عمري اللي رماني ولادواني ولانادني ولا
أنا مش حتألم تاني استناني أناتعباني الآه
ضيعت عمري أنا

أنا في بعادك ياحبيبي أنا خلصت دموع العين
أنا مش عارفة إنت ناسيني وجارحني وسايبني لمين
بتحن علية ثواني وتنساني ياحبيبي سنين
ومافيش مابينا لقى


هو أنا آخرة ما أتحمل في هواك تناساني وتخدعني ولامرة حبيبي صعبت عليك وإنت بتقسى وبتبعني
كم مرة احتجت أنا ليك أناديك ألاقيك رافض تسمعني إرحم دموعي أنا آآآ

Elissa - Waiting for Youإليسا - بستناكBastanak

Updated media and translation

This is the title track from her album "Bastanak"

Elissa - Waiting for You Why should I listen to him Or dream of him and sing for him Suddenly passion brought out words that made me hopeful about him And who knows for sure If he's accepting another love And what else is his love hiding

Why am I OK with the torment of my heart that melted with love for him?
The most beautiful days in our life mean nothing to him
It's such a shame for him to forget what we had and forget me
While I only think of him

I'm waiting for you, hoping to live my whole life with you darling
And I don't know when desire will let you begin to feel love
I haven't forgotten you, and in your abscence I dream that I'm living with you
How did you forget everything between us and sent away your love?

Oh, nights passed and I was patience and what did I get aside from the separation that was written for me and I lived?
He stayed away, and my love's torment is something else
Torment that can't be expressed in words

What does life mean?
With out you I'll go on living it and what will I need?
And if one day I ask 100,000 whats
Even if the years went by I would still miss his eyes and wouldn't forget him

Why is he leaving me and going away and forgetting me when my soul is with him
Nights passed and I was patience and what did I get, after his love?

إليسا - بستناك

ليه اسمع كلامه
و احلم معاه و انشد ليه
فجأة الغرام يطلع كلام عشمني بيه
و مين عارف أكيد
قابل غرام تاني
و ايه تاني هواه مخبيه

ليه أرضى بعذاب قلبي
اللي داب من عشقي ليه
أيام جميلة في عمرنا و هانت عليه
حرام ينسى اللي كان بيننا و ينساني
و انا بس اللي افكر فيه

بستناك و بتمنى اعيش العمر كله حبيبي معاك
و مش عارفة ده امتى الشوق يخلي هواك يتمناك
مش ناسياك وفي بعادك ليالي احلم باني بعيش وياك

نسيت كل اللي بينا ازاي و بعت هواك و بعت هواك

ياه فاتت ليالي صبرت فيها و خدت ايه
غير الفراق اللي أنكتبلي و عشت فيه
و غاب عني و فراق و حبيبي شئ تاني
عذاب مش بالكلام احكيه

ايه معنى الحياة بعدك حاعيشها و احتاج لأيه
لو عالسؤال في اليوم بقول مية ألف إيه
سنين فاتت و لسه عيونه وحشاني و مش بنساه

ليه يفارق و يبعد قال و ينساني و روحي معاه
فاتت ليالي صبرت فيها و خدت ايه من بعد هواه
