[Intro - Traditional Yemeni Oud Solo]

آآآه يا جوري...

Aaah ya Jouri...

Aaah, oh Jouri...

يا ساكنة وسط الحشا...

Ya sakinah wast al-hasha...

Oh, you who dwells within my core...

يا بعيدة عن عيوني...

Ya ba'idah 'an 'uyuni...

Oh, far from my eyes...

وقريبة من روحي...

Wa qaribah min rouhi...

And close to my soul...

[Verse 1 - Deep Emotional Male Voice]

يا جوري اسمعي صوتي ولو بيني وبينك مسافات

Ya Jouri isma'i sawti wa law bayni wa baynik masafat

Oh Jouri, hear my voice, even if there are distances between us

قلبي معك باقي على عهده ولو فرّقتنا الجهات

Qalbi ma'ak baqi 'ala 'ahdih wa law farraqatna al-jihat

My heart remains with you, true to its promise, even if directions have separated us

أسهر وأعدّ نجوم الليل وأسترجع حلو الذكريات

Ashar wa a'idd nujoom al-layl waastarji' hilw al-dhikrayat

I stay up counting the stars of the night and recall sweet memories

وأقول يا ليت الزمن يرحم قلوبٍ ذاب فيها الآهات

Wa aqool ya layt al-zaman yarham quloob thab fiha al-ahat

And I say, 'If only time would have mercy on hearts dissolved in sighs'

[Pre-Chorus - Gradually Building Emotion]

تدرين كم من ليلةٍ عيني سهيرة؟

Tadreen kam min laylatin 'ayni sahirah?

Do you know how many nights my eye has been sleepless?

وكم أخفيت من الأشواق في صدري؟

Wa kam akhfayt min al-ashwaq fi sadri?

And how much longing I've hidden in my chest?

أضحك مع العالم وقلبي في غيابك

Adhak ma'a al-'alam wa qalbi fi ghiyabik

I laugh with the world, but my heart in your absence is

مشتاق لك يا نور عيني وعمري

Mushtaq lak ya noor 'ayni wa 'umri

Longing for you, oh light of my eyes and my life

[Chorus - Powerful Yemeni Tarab Singing]

يااا جوري... يا جوري... يا نور عيني

Yaaa Jouri... ya Jouri... ya noor 'ayni

Ooooh Jouri... Ooooh Jouri... O light of my eyes

وينك؟ ترى شوقك هدّ حيل سنيني

Waynak? Tara shawqak hadd hayl sineeni

Where are you? Your longing has drained the strength from my years

يااا جوري... يا جوري... يا كل حالي

Yaaa Jouri... ya Jouri... ya kull hali

Ooooh Jouri... Ooooh Jouri... O my everything

من يوم غبتي ما تهنّى لي بالي

Min yawm ghibti ma tahanna li bali

Since the day you left, my mind hasn't found peace

أنا بعيد وقلبي عندك أسير

Ana ba'eed wa qalbi 'indak aseer

I am far, and my heart is captive with you

وأشتاق لك شوق المطر للأرض والبير

Wa ashtaq lak shawq al-matar lil-ard wal-beer

And I long for you like the rain longs for the earth and the well

[Instrumental - Yemeni Oud And Qanbus]

[Verse 2 - Warm Sorrowful Male Voice]

أشوف وجهك في خيالي كلما أقبل ظلام الليل

Ashoof wajhak fi khayali kullama aqbal thalam al-layl

I see your face in my imagination whenever the darkness of night approaches

وأسمع صدى صوتك بقلبي وأعيش الشوق والتفاصيل

Wa asma' sada sawtak biqalbi wa a'eesh al-shawq wal-tafaseel

And I hear the echo of your voice in my heart, living the longing and the details

أخبّي اسمك بين أضلوعي وأخاف البوح والتأويل

Akhabbi ismak bayn adlu'i wa akhaf al-booh wal-ta'weel

I hide your name between my ribs, fearing disclosure and interpretation

وأعيش على ذكرى عيونك يا أغلى من سكن هالليل

Wa a'eesh 'ala dhikra 'uyoonak ya aghla man sakan hal-layl

And I live on the memory of your eyes, oh dearest one who inhabited this night

[Pre-Chorus - Emotional Vocal Ornamentation]

يا ليت هذي المسافة تنتهي

Ya layt hathihi al-masafah tantahi

If only this distance would end

ويا ليت درب البعد يرجع يلتقي

Wa ya layt darb al-bu'd yarji' yaltaqi

And if only the path of separation would meet again

تعبت أقول بخير وأنا من الشوق تعبان

Ta'ibt aqool bikhair wa ana min al-shawq ta'ban

I'm tired of saying I'm fine, while I'm exhausted from longing

وأخفي دموعي والحنين بوسط الوجدان

Wa akhfi dumu'i wal-haneen biwast al-wijdan

And I hide my tears and yearning deep within my soul

[Chorus - Stronger And More Melodic]

يااا جوري... يا جوري... يا نور عيني

Yaaa Jouri... ya Jouri... ya noor 'ayni

Ooooh Jouri... Ooooh Jouri... O light of my eyes

وينك؟ ترى شوقك هدّ حيل سنيني

Waynak? Tara shawqak hadd hayl sineeni

Where are you? Your longing has drained the strength from my years

يااا جوري... يا جوري... يا كل حالي

Yaaa Jouri... ya Jouri... ya kull hali

Ooooh Jouri... Ooooh Jouri... O my everything

من يوم غبتي ما تهنّى لي بالي

Min yawm ghibti ma tahanna li bali

Since the day you left, my mind hasn't found peace

أنا بعيد وقلبي عندك أسير

Ana ba'eed wa qalbi 'indak aseer

I am far, and my heart is captive with you

وأشتاق لك شوق المطر للأرض والبير

Wa ashtaq lak shawq al-matar lil-ard wal-beer

And I long for you like the rain longs for the earth and the well

[Bridge - Soft Deep Male Voice]

لو كان بيدي أطير أطير إليك

Law kan biyadi ateer ateer ilayk

If it were in my hands, I would fly, fly to you

وأقطع مسافات العمر وأجيك

Wa aqta' masafat al-'umr wa ajeek

And cut through the distances of life and come to you

وأقول لك يا أغلى من سكن قلبي

Wa aqool lak ya aghla man sakan qalbi

And tell you, oh dearest one who dwelled in my heart

ما غاب حبك يوم عنّي ولا عن دربي

Ma ghab hubbak yawm 'anni wala 'an darbi

Your love has never left me, not for a day, nor from my path

[Instrumental Solo - Emotional Yemeni Oud]

[Final Chorus - Powerful Emotional Climax]

يااا جوري... يا جوري... يا روح روحي

Yaaa Jouri... ya Jouri... ya rooh rouhi

Ooooh Jouri... Ooooh Jouri... O soul of my soul

حبك سكن قلبي وسرّ جروحي

Hubbak sakan qalbi wa sirr jurouhi

Your love has settled in my heart and is the secret of my wounds

يااا جوري... لو طال البعاد وطال

If you are absent from my eyes, you are in my being

وأنت الحكاية والهوى وعنواني

Wa anta al-hikayah wal-hawa wa 'unwani

And you are the story, the passion, and my address

[Outro - Slow Oud And Emotional Vocal]

يا جوري...

Ya Jouri...

Oh Jouri...

يا أول حبي وآخر أشواقي...

Ya awwal hubbi wa akhir ashwaqi...

Oh my first love and my last longing...

لو طال بعدك...

Law tal bu'dak...

Even if your absence prolongs...

قلبي معك باقي...

Qalbi ma'ak baqi...

My heart remains with you...

آآآه... يا جوري...

Lines explained

“وينك؟ ترى شوقك هدّ حيل سنيني”

Waynak? Tara shawqak hadd hayl sineeni

Where are you? Your longing has drained the strength from my years

The phrase 'هدّ حيل سنيني' (hadd hayl sineeni) literally means 'has broken the strength of my years,' conveying that the longing has exhausted him and taken a toll on his life and vitality.

“وأشتاق لك شوق المطر للأرض والبير”

Wa ashtaq lak shawq al-matar lil-ard wal-beer

And I long for you like the rain longs for the earth and the well

This line uses a powerful simile to express the depth of his longing, comparing it to the essential need of rain for the parched earth and wells, highlighting how vital Jouri is to him.

“حبك سكن قلبي وسرّ جروحي”

Hubbak sakan qalbi wa sirr jurouhi

Your love has settled in my heart and is the secret of my wounds

The phrase 'سرّ جروحي' (sirr jurouhi) means 'the secret of my wounds.' This implies that her love, while beautiful, is also intertwined with the pain of separation, or that her love is the hidden reason behind his emotional suffering.

The idea it was sung from

أريد أغنية يمنية صنعانية أصيلة، بطابع طربي رومانسي حزين، وليست أغنية عربية عامة. يؤديها مطرب رجل بصوت يمني عميق ودافئ، فيه شجن وبحة خفيفة وإحساس صادق، مع نطق واضح للهجة اليمنية الصنعانية، وتطريب يمني أصيل ومدّ في نهايات الكلمات. يكون اللحن يمنياً واضحاً من البداية إلى النهاية، بمقام وطريقة تلحين مستوحاة من الطرب الصنعاني، مع زخارف صوتية يمنية وانتقالات لحنية عاطفية. الآلات الأساسية: العود اليمن
