يا ليلي يا ليلي، تبدّلت أحوالنا
Ya layli ya layli, tabaddalat ahwalna
Oh night, oh night, our situations have changed
كنا ديما مع بعض، واليوم فرّقتنا قرايتنا
Kunna dima ma' ba'd, walyoum farraqatna qaraytna
We used to be always together, and today our studies separated us
هي في عالم الأدب، وأنا في عالم العلوم
Hiya fi 'alam al-adab, wa ana fi 'alam al-'uloom
She's in the world of literature, and I'm in the world of sciences
والضحكة لي كانت تجمعنا، ولات ذكرى كل يوم
Waldahka li kanat tajma'na, walat thikra kull youm
And the laughter that used to bring us together, has become a daily memory
روفيلة يا روفي، وين راح ذاك المود؟
Rovila ya Rofi, wayn rah thak al-mood?
Rovila, oh Rofi, where did that mood go?
كنا نديرو الجو، واليوم تبدّل الكود
Kunna nadeero al-jaw, walyoum tabaddal al-code
We used to make the atmosphere, and today the code has changed
نضحكو بلا سبب، ونهبلو بلا حدود
Nadhaku bila sabab, wa nahbalu bila hudood
We'd laugh for no reason, and go crazy without limits
واليوم كل وحدة وحدها، والوقت يجري ويعود
Walyoum kull wahda wahdaha, walwaqt yajri wa ya'oud
And today each one is alone, and time runs and returns
آه يا دنيا علاه، فرّقتي الأحباب؟
Ah ya dunya 'alah, farraqti al-ahbab?
Ah, oh world, why did you separate loved ones?
قسمتي طريقاتنا، وخلّيتي غير الغياب
Qasamti tareeqatna, wa khallayti ghayr al-ghiyab
You divided our paths, and left nothing but absence
بصح العام الجاي نرجع، ونبدّل الاتجاه
Bassah al-'am al-jay narja', wa nabaddal al-ittijah
But next year I'll come back, and change direction
نجي نقرا مع روفيلة، ونعاودو الأفراح
Naji naqra ma' Rovila, wa na'awidu al-afrah
I'll come to study with Rovila, and we'll bring back the joys
نحبها نحبها، هاذي صاحبتي الغالية
Nuhabaha nuhabaha, hathi sahibati al-ghaliya
I love her, I love her, this precious friend of mine
ضحكتها في بالي، وصداقتنا مش عادية
Dahkatha fi bali, wa sadaqatna mush 'adiya
Her laugh is in my mind, and our friendship is not ordinary
سليمة وروفيلة، حكاية ما عندها نهاية
Salima wa Rovila, hikaya ma 'andaha nihaya
Salima and Rovila, a story without an end
فرّقتنا الدراسة، تجمعنا العام الجاية ❤️
Studies separated us, next year will bring us together ❤️
