هَيَّا بِنَا lyrics

هَيَّا بِنَا

Hayyā binā

Let's go

هَيَّا بِنَا

Hayyā binā

Let's go

يَا مُهْجَةَ الشَّمْسِ هَيَّا بِنَا

Yā muhjata ash-shamsi hayyā binā

Oh, essence of the sun, let's go

نَزُورُ البِحَار

Nazūru al-bihār

We'll visit the seas

نَزُورُ ضِفَافَ نَهْرِ الغَرَام

Nazūru difāfa nahri al-gharām

We'll visit the banks of the river of passion

فَكَمْ قَدْ بَنَيْنَا، هَلْ تَذْكُرِين؟

Fakam qad banaynā, hal tadhkurīn?

How much we have built, do you remember?

تَعَالَيْ نَطُوفُ وَلَا تَقْلَقِين

Ta'ālay naṭūfu walā taqlaqīn

Come, let's wander and don't worry

فَعَيْنَاكِ أَكْبَرُ بَحْرِ البِحَار

Fa'aynāki akbaru baḥri al-bihār

For your eyes are the greatest sea of seas

وَقَلْبِي مَرْكَب

Wa qalbī markab

And my heart is a boat

فَلَنْ تَغْرَقِين

Falan taghraqīn

So you will not drown

وَإِنْ خِفْتِ يَوْمًا قَوْلَ الوُشَاة

Wa in khifti yawman qawla al-wushāh

And if you ever fear the words of the gossips

فَإِنِّي أَمِين

Fa'innī amīn

Then I am trustworthy

يَكُونُون هُنَا قَرِيبِينَ مِنَّا

Yakūnūna hunā qarībīna minnā

They will be here close to us

وَنَحْنُ هُنَاكَ بَعِيدُونَ عَنْهُمْ

Wa naḥnu hunāka ba'īdūna 'anhum

While we are far away from them

وَلَا تَنْظُرِين

Walā tanẓurīn

And don't look

نَكُونُ هُنَاكَ عَلَى شَطِّ نَهْرٍ

Nakūnu hunāka 'alā shaṭṭi nahri

We will be there on the bank of a river

مِنْ حُبِّنَا

Min ḥubbinā

Of our love

إِذَا مَا أَرَدْتِ نَكُونُ هُنَاك

Idhā mā aradti nakūnu hunāk

If you wish, we will be there

فَوْقَ الجَبِين

Fawqa al-jabīn

Above the forehead

هَيَّا بِنَا

Hayyā binā

Let's go

هَيَّا بِنَا

Hayyā binā

Let's go

يَا مُهْجَةَ الشَّمْسِ هَيَّا بِنَا

Yā muhjata ash-shamsi hayyā binā

Oh, essence of the sun, let's go

نَزُورُ البِحَار

Nazūru al-bihār

We'll visit the seas

نَزُورُ ضِفَافَ نَهْرِ الغَرَام

Nazūru difāfa nahri al-gharām

We'll visit the banks of the river of passion

نَتَسَاوَرُ الأَسْرَار

Natasāwaru al-asrār

We'll whisper secrets

هَمْسَةً بِهَمْسَة

Hamsatan bi hamsah

Whisper by whisper

نَتَبَادَلُ الأَدْوَارَ قُبْلَة بِقُبْلَة

Natabādalu al-adwāra qublah bi qublah

We'll exchange roles, kiss by kiss

مِنْ عِشْقِنَا

Min 'ishqinā

From our passion

وَلَا تَجْهَرِين

Walā tajharīn

And don't speak loudly

حَوْلَنَا الزُّهُورُ

Ḥawlanā az-zuhūru

Around us, the flowers

تُغَنِّي أَرِيجاً مِلْءَ العُصُور

Tughannī arījan mil'a al-'uṣūr

Sing a fragrance filling the ages

وَنَحْنُ العُطُور

Wa naḥnu al-'uṭūr

And we are the perfumes

نُفَتِّشُ فِي مَرْتَعِ رَاحَتَيْكِ

Nufattishu fī marta'i rāḥatayki

I search in the pasture of your palms

لَعَلِّي أَجِدُنِي فِي مُقْلَتَيْكِ

La'allī ajidunī fī muqlatayki

Perhaps I'll find myself in your eyes

لَعَلَّ الطُّيُور

La'alla aṭ-ṭuyūr

Perhaps the birds

تَهْجُرُ أَعْشَاشَهَا فَرَحَةً

Tahjuru a'shāshahā faraḥatan

Will abandon their nests in joy

لِكَوْنِ الرَّبِيعِ فِي حَاجِبَيْك

Likawni ar-rabī'i fī ḥājibayk

Because spring is in your eyebrows

فَهَلْ تُنْكِرِين؟

Fahal tunkirīn?

So, can you deny it?

وَبُسْتَانُ صَدْرِكِ قَلْبُ الرَّبِيع

Wa bustānu ṣadriki qalbu ar-rabī'

And the garden of your chest is the heart of spring

أَسْمَعُ فِيهِ قَطْرَ المَطَر

Asma'u fīhi qaṭra al-maṭar

I hear in it the drops of rain

وَحُلْمِيَ الكَبِير

Wa ḥulmiya al-kabīr

And my great dream

هَلْ تَعْرِفِين؟

Hal ta'rifīn?

Do you know?

يُخَالِطُهُ سِحْرُ عَزْفِ الوَتَر .

Yukhāliṭuhu siḥru 'azfi al-watar

It is mixed with the magic of string playing

وَلَحْنُ القُلُوبِ لَهُ قَدْ حَضَرْ

Wa laḥnu al-qulūbi lahu qad ḥaḍar

And the melody of hearts has arrived for it

كَحُلْمِ الرَّضِيع

Kaḥulmi ar-raḍī'

Like a baby's dream

يُرَاوِدُهُ الشَّكُّ عِنْدَ الكِبَر

Yurāwiduhu ash-shakku 'inda al-kibar

Doubt haunts him when he grows old

وَقَلْبِي الصَّغِير وَسِيع وَسِيع.

Wa qalbī aṣ-ṣaghīr wasī'un wasī'

And my small heart is vast, vast

مَتَى سَوْفَ يَكْبَر

Matā sawfa yakbar

When will it grow up?

وَيَغْفُو الجَمِيع؟ وَهَلْ يَسْتَطِيع؟

Wa yaghfū al-jamī'?

And everyone sleeps?

إِذَا مَا الأَمَانِي يَوْمًا تَجَلَّتْ

Idhā mā al-amānī yawman tajallat

If wishes are revealed one day

وَحُلْمُ السِّنِينَ لَهُ قَدْ ظَهَرْ .

Wa ḥulmu as-sinīna lahu qad ẓahar

And the dream of years has appeared for it

لَا يَسْتَطِيع!

Lā yastaṭī'

It cannot!

فَهَذَا فَظِيع.

Fahādhā faẓī'

For this is terrible.

فَهَذَا فَظِيع...

Fahādhā faẓī'...

For this is terrible...
