En Rah Minnik Ya Ain

Even If You Go Away From My Eyes

En rah minnik ya ain
Even if you go away from my eyes
hai roh min albi feen
you never go from my heart
*Al alb yahebb marra
The heart loves only once
mahebish marriteen
it doesn't love twice

Wahyat illi garali
I swear what you did to me
ayah min gher mead
without any warning
Lasaharu el layali
I will keep him wake all night
wa harraamu al bead
and never let him get away far
Wa ataffi bi naru nari
I will make him burn from pain equal to mine
wa ghallas minnu tari
and will be happy when I see him go down

**Wala yahimmik ya ain
Don't worry my eyes
hai roh meen albi feen
he can't go away from my heart
Contunue chorus from *

Aiah yiessa aleiya
Don't be so tough with me
Aiah yinsa illi kaan
Never forget what happened between us
Lissa el layali gaya
Still there are nigths to come
wa aktar min zamaan
more than before
We yahertu wah ya welu
I'll make him nervous
winhar elsho' we lelu
both day and night
Continue chorus from **

The last sentence is different:
Al albi yahebb ashara
The heart has ten loves
mahebish bas itneen
It doesn't love only two

I'm very grateful for all my friends, who helped me to translate the lyrics of this song. None of my friends is a professional Arabic-English translator: some of them are fluent in Arabic, some in English and a few - my self included - have some skill in both languages. It's often quite challenging to express both the idea and the literal meaning of the lyrics in a few words, as I consider it most useful to dancers that the translation include both these aspects.
