[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

وأنت الحكاية والهوى وعنواني
Wa anta al-hikayah wal-hawa wa 'unwani
And you are the story, the passion, and my address

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...

Hubbak sakan qalbi wa sirr jurouhi

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
