Arabic Lyrics
Ragaa’ouni a’einaik el Ayam illi rahou
A’alamouni andam a’ala El-Madhi wi gerahou
Illi shouftouh kabli ma tshoufak a’inaih
Omri dhayea’ yehsibouh izay a’alaya?
Inta Omri illi ibtada b’nourak sabahouh
Ad eyh min omri kablak ray w a’ada
Ya habibi ad eyh min omri raah
Wala shaf elkalb kablak farhah wahdah
Wala dak fi eldounya ghair taa’m el-jiraah.
Ibtadait bilwakti bas ahib omri
Ibtadait bilwakti akhaf la ilomri yijri
Kouli farha eshtakha min kablak khayali
Eltakaha fi nour a’ainaik kalbi w fikri
Ya hayat kalbi ya aghla min hayati
Leih ma kabilni hawak ya habibi badri
Illi shouftouh kabli ma tshoufak a’inaih
Omri dhayea’ yehsibouh izay a’alaya?
Inta Omri illi ibtada b’nourak sabahouh
Ellayali el hilwa wil shouk wil mahabah

Douk maa’ayah elhoub douk habah bhabah min hanan kalbi illi taalshoukouh li hananak
Hat a’inaik tisrah fi dounyethoum a’ineyyah
Hat eydak tiryah lilmoustahm eydaiyah

Howa illi fatna ya habibi elrouh shwayah
Illi shouftouh kabli ma tshoufak a’inaih
Omri dhayea’ yehsibouh izay a’alaya?
Inta Omri illi ibtada b’nourak sabahouh
Ya aghla min ayyami

English Lyrics
Your eyes took me back to my days that are gone
They taught me to regret the past and its wounds.
Whatever I saw before my eyes saw you was a wasted life.
How could they consider that part of my life?
With your light, the dawn of my life started
How much of my life before you was lost
It is a wasted past, my love.
My heart never saw happiness before you
My heart never saw anything in life other than the taste of pain and suffering.
I started only now to love my life
And started to worry that my life would run away from me.
Every happiness I was longing for before you
My dreams they found it in the light of your eyes.
Oh my heart’s life .. You are more precious than my life
Why I didn't meet your love a long time ago?
The beautiful nights and the yearning and the great love
>From a long time ago the heart is holding for you.
Taste the love with me bit by bit from the kindness of my heart that is longing for the kindness of your heart.
Bring your eyes close so that my eyes can get lost in the life of your eyes.
Bring your hands so that my hands will rest in the touch of your hands.
My love, come, and enough.
What we missed is not little, oh love of my soul.
Whatever I saw before my eyes saw you was a wasted life.
How could they consider that part of my life?
You are my life that starts its dawn with your light.
You are more precious than my days.
You are more beautiful than my dreams,
Take me to your sweetness
Take me away from the universe
Far away, far away.
I and you far away, far away. Alone.
With love, our days will awaken
We spend the nights longing for each other
I reconciled with days because of you
I forgave the time because of you
With you I forgot my pains
And I forgot with you my misery.
Your eyes took me back to my days that are gone
They taught me to regret the past and its wounds.
Whatever I saw before my eyes saw you was a wasted life.
How could they consider that part of my life?
You are my life that starts its dawn with your light.
