Baed El Layali (Counting The Nights)

Chorus:

Ah, baed el layali.

Oh, i'm counting the nights.

Wel ayam men shoqi eleik.

And the days, because of my love for you.

Wallah ezay yehoon aleik

I swear, how can you stand

Kol shei fel boad?

To do anything while we are separated.

Ah, bashtaqlak ya ghali,

Oh, i long for you, oh prcious one.

Enta fein, bandah aleik.

Where are you? i call for you.

Wallah wahashooni kiteer ineik.

I swear, i miss your eyes so much.

Maqool niseet el waad?

Is it possible that you forgot our pact?

Baan hobi leek,

I showed my love for you,

Fe seneen baad we foraaq.

In years of distance and separation.

We haan albi aleik,

And my heart became expendible to you.

Termi bein nar we azaab.

You threw it in the midst of fire and torture.

Ergaa leya, khalas mosh ader, habibi.

Return to me, i can't stand it any longer, my darling.

Rod be ay kalam law adir, habibi.

Respond with any words if you are able, my darling.

Wallah bahebo, we hafdaal ahebo, habibi.

I swear i love her and i'll keep loving her, my darling.

Arrab alaya, le boadaak akher, habibi.

Come close, and end your distance, my darling.

(chorus)

Faat add eih?

How much time has passed?

Wala yom ideirt ansaak.

But i could not forget you for even a day.

We leih el dona leih,

And why, why has the world,

Ya habibi, baeed wakhdak?

Oh darling, taken you far away?

Ana mosh adder ala nesyanak, habibi.

I can not ever forget you, my darling.

Meen fil donia ha yemla makanak? habibi.

Who in the world can fill your place, my darling?

Wallah bahebo, we hafdaal ahebo, habibi.

I swear i love her and i'll keep loving her, my darling.

Nefsi artah ana bein ahdaanak, habibi.

I wish i could rest within your embrace, my darling
