Oh, you who made my heart rejoice, when I chose you,
Left and departed
And added fire to my heart to her separation.
But I didn’t care. Tell her to leave me alone, and go!
I have a Lord who will make me happy (in my life).
She’s not the only one in this country.
Let her go her own way, she who started the path of abandonment, and wasted (the love between us)
Let her go her own way, my heart has abandoned her
On that day, when my heart and I, fell in love with her
And we complained about the lover’s abandonment, we heard no answer from her
Many times my memory slipped from her mind
And she returned and scolded without reason or meaning!
I was confused, and my mind was completely confused
Nothing would work with her, even if I surrendered my soul
She would never be in harmony with my heart one day
In all her life with me, I never felt the pain of longing (and the joy of love).
Arabic lyrics
بشاره قلبي الي اختاره
راح و ترك داره
و خلاه في ناره بعد
ما همني قولو له يتركني
ربي بيسعدني
ما هو الوحيد بـهـا البلد
قـلـعـتـه هـو اللـي بـاع ومـنـي ضـاع
و قـلـبـي بـاعـه قـلـعـتـه
يـوم انا و قـلـبـي هـوينـا
و اشـتـكـيـنـا مـا سـمـعـنـا حـضـرتـه
كم مره ينساني بـالمرة
و يرجع يتشره
احترت في امره انا
ما يفيده لو روحي بـايده
وياي مو سيدا
و عمره ما حسسني بـاللم
ليليوالي لوا
…ليليوالي لوا
