[Verse 1]

[المقدمة الموسيقية – كمان حزين وبيانو وعود] · Musical Introduction - sad violin, piano, and oud

يا ليل خبرني عن أحبابنا وين؟

Oh night, tell me, where are our loved ones?

وشلون صارت دارنا عقبهم سكوت؟

And how did our home become silent after them?

كان الفرح يجمع قلوب المحبين

Joy used to gather the hearts of lovers

واليوم ما بين الدموع وبين الصوت

But today, it's between tears and silence

[المقطع الأول – بداية الحكاية] · First Section - The Beginning of the Story

من بيت عزٍّ والمراجل لها عنوان

From a house of honor, where chivalry had a title

طلع ولد يحمل من أحلامه كثير

A son emerged, carrying many dreams

حبّ إنسانة ما تملك من الدنيا أثمان

He loved a woman who owned no worldly treasures

لكن غلاها في عيونه شي كبير

But her preciousness in his eyes was immense

ما كان يدري إن الهوى له امتحان

He didn't know that love was a test

وإن القلوب أحيان تتعب من المصير

And that hearts sometimes tire from fate

وقف أبوه وقال: هذا مو اختيار

His father stood and said: "This is not a choice"

والقلب بين أمره وبين الحب حاير

And the heart was torn between his command and love

[المقطع الثاني – الفراق] · Second Section - The Separation

راحوا بعيد وصار بينهم مسافات

They went far, and distances grew between them

والبيت من عقب الغياب أصبح حزين

And the house, after their absence, became sad

أمٍ تناديه وسط ليل الذكريات

A mother calls him in the night of memories

وتضم ثوبه وتبكي دمعة حنين

And hugs his thobe, crying tears of longing

تسأل: ترى يرجع؟ متى يرجع لنا؟

She asks: "Will he return? When will he return to us?"

يا رب تجمعنا على درب السنين

Oh Lord, unite us on the path of years

والأب في صمته يخفي ألف آه

And the father, in his silence, hides a thousand sighs

لكن كبرياه ما خلّته يلين

But his pride didn't let him soften

[ما قبل اللازمة – تصاعد موسيقي] · Pre-Chorus - musical build-up

يا كثر ما خبّينا في قلوبنا كلام

How much we've hidden words in our hearts

ويا كثر ما ضيّعنا من عمرنا سنين

And how many years of our lives we've wasted

ترى الزمن مهما يطوّل بالخصام

Indeed, no matter how long time prolongs the dispute

يبقى الحنين أقوى من قسوة السنين

Longing remains stronger than the harshness of years

[اللازمة الرئيسية – الكورس الكبير] · Main Chorus - The Grand Chorus

بين الفرح والحزن ضاعت خطاوينا

Between joy and sorrow, our footsteps were lost

وبين الغياب والشوق عشنا حكاوينا

And between absence and longing, we lived our stories

يا دارنا ردّي علينا أمانينا

Oh our home, return our hopes to us

ترى الغلا ما مات لو طالت ليالينا

Indeed, love hasn't died, even if our nights lengthened

أنا ابن هالبيت مهما أبعدتني أيّام

I am the son of this house, no matter how far days took me

وأنا حبيب القلب لو فرّقتنا أحكام

And I am the beloved of the heart, even if decrees separated us

يا أغلى البشر ما بيننا ينتهي

Oh dearest of people, what is between us will not end

دام الوفا باقي بقلوب المحبين

As long as loyalty remains in the hearts of lovers

[المقطع الثالث – الأم والعودة] · Third Section - The Mother and the Return

يا يمّه أنا مشتاق لصوتك كثير

Oh mother, I miss your voice so much

مشتاق لضحكتك ولحضنك والأمان

I miss your laughter, your embrace, and your safety

كم ليلةٍ مرّت وأنا قلبي كسير

How many nights passed with my heart broken

أحسب ليالي البعد وأعدّي الزمان

Counting the nights of separation and the passage of time

واليوم رجعت ودمعتي سبقت خطاي

And today I returned, my tears preceding my steps

وأشوف باب البيت وأسمع صوتك ينادي

And I see the house door and hear your voice calling

يا يمّه لا تبكين، أنا بين إيديك

Oh mother, don't cry, I am in your hands

ما عاد في هالدنيا شي يستاهل بعادي

There's nothing in this world worth my distance anymore

[الجسر الغنائي – الأب والابن] · Vocal Bridge - The Father and Son

يا يبه لو تدري شكثر قلبي تعب

Oh father, if you knew how much my heart suffered

كان اعتذرت وكان قلبي لك يميل

You would have apologized, and my heart would have inclined to you

ما بيننا غير العتب وسوء السبب

Between us is nothing but blame and a bad reason

والعمر يمضي والندم ماله بديل

And life passes, and regret has no alternative

مدّيت لك كفّي وأنا كلي أمل

I extended my hand to you, and I am full of hope

تنسى الليالي وتفتح لقلبي مجال

That you forget the nights and open a space for my heart

قال الأب بصوتٍ هزّ كل المكان:

The father said with a voice that shook the whole place:

سامحني يا ولدي، ترى الشوق طال

Forgive me, my son, indeed the longing was long

[الكورس الأخير – ذروة الأوركسترا والكمان والإيقاع الخليجي] · Final Chorus - Orchestral climax with violin and Khaleeji rhythm

بين الفرح والحزن لقينا خطاوينا

Between joy and sorrow, we found our footsteps

ورجع الفرح لبيوتنا وأمانينا

And joy returned to our homes and our hopes

يا دارنا اليوم اجتمعت أحبابنا

Oh our home, today our loved ones gathered

ورجعت ضحكاتنا تنوّر ليالينا

And our laughter returned to illuminate our nights

يا أغلى البشر ما للوفا أي ثمن

Oh dearest of people, loyalty has no price

ولا للغلا حدود ولا له وطن

And love has no limits and no homeland

لو فرّقتنا الدنيا ألفين عام

Even if the world separated us for two thousand years

تبقى العائلة أغلى من كل الأحلام

Family remains dearer than all dreams

[الخاتمة – صوت هادئ مع البيانو والكمان] · Outro - quiet sound with piano and violin
