lyrics

Kha brata mookhibli
Ana min kulleh kheeyalee
Mpilee bkhobboh mayrah
Ooh ay la rkhimla L ‘halee

Makh kha therah shehna
Ana azad roopaleeh
La deeleeh bit parkha
Zalim b’noshee shohqalee

Makh kha warda soora bojra goh ganta
hadakh khomyowin khobbakh
b’libee b’hemantah
B’da libbee hemantah

Makh kha thera mikhya
Ana m’golpooh mpeelehwin
bit matin kislakh
b’Libee qeeda roopewin

Qaree-baia w bnoshe
Rikhka, b’shweeta mirryehwin
Talakh khleetee oo qarbin
L’ khoobakh sogul sneeqewin

Makh kha warda soora bojra goh ganta
Hadakh khomyowin khobbakh
B’libee b’hemantah
B’da libbee hemantah

Ta ploot, mara libee
R’hee zalim eh kaporta
La shoqloon khayee khilyeh ohoreh maryoota

--------

I I once loved a girl
With every thought
I fell into a bitter love with her
As she did not return it

As if she were tamed bird
I set her free
I did not know she would fly away
And leave me alone

Like it were a small rose budding in a garden
I’ve tended to my love for you
In my faithful heart

Like a wounded bird
I’m fallen
And i throw myself before you
With a burning heart

Estranged and alone, distant
Sick in bed
Come my sweet and come close
What i need is your dear love

Like it were a small rose budding in a garden
I’ve tended to my love for you
In my faithful heart

“Out!” Says my heart.
“Look at that guilty persecutor.
Do not let your sweet life fall into bitterness”
