[Verse 1]
ظنيت الفراق ساهل، طريق الأحلام
Ḍannīt el-fraq sāhel, ṭarīq el-aḥlām
I thought separation was easy, the path of dreams
غادي نكبر وننسى، نعيش الأيام
I'd grow up and forget, live through the days
لكن الوحدة قهرتني، سكنات فيا
Lākin el-waḥda qahratnī, saknāt fiyya
But loneliness crushed me, it settled within me
الغربة صعيبة يا والديا، واش بيا؟
Exile is hard, my parents, what's wrong with me?
[Chorus]
يا يما، يا با، قلبي موجوع
Oh Mom, oh Dad, my heart is aching
بغيابكم دموعي ما بغات تْرجع
In your absence, my tears don't want to stop
توحشت حنانكم، دعاوي الخير
I missed your tenderness, your good prayers
يا ريتني حداكم، وننسى التفكير
Ya rītnī ḥdākum, w nensā et-tafkīr
I wish I were with you, and forget all worries
[Verse 2]
فين صوتك يا يما، حضنك الدافي
Fīn ṣūtek ya Yemma, ḥuḍnek ed-dāfī
Where is your voice, Mom, your warm embrace?
فين طيابك بنين، لي كان يكفّي
Fīn ṭyābek bnīn, lī kān yekeffī
Where is your delicious cooking, which was always enough?
فين ضحكة با، فين قعدتو معانا
Where is Dad's laugh, where is his sitting with us?
دابا غير حيطاني، كتحكي حزانا
Dāba ghīr ḥīṭānī, ka-teḥkī ḥazānā
Now just my walls, telling our sorrows
[Chorus]
يا يما، يا با، قلبي موجوع
Oh Mom, oh Dad, my heart is aching
بغيابكم دموعي ما بغات تْرجع
In your absence, my tears don't want to stop
توحشت حنانكم، دعاوي الخير
I missed your tenderness, your good prayers
يا ريتني حداكم، وننسى التفكير
Ya rītnī ḥdākum, w nensā et-tafkīr
I wish I were with you, and forget all worries
[Bridge]
كل ليلة كنْدم، على ما فات
Every night I regret, what has passed
ما عرفت قيمتكم، غير من بعد مسافات
I didn't know your worth, until after distances
سامحوني يا والديا، على كل تقصير
Forgive me, my parents, for every shortcoming
ربي يطول عمركم، يا كل الخير
May God prolong your lives, oh all goodness
[Chorus]
يا يما، يا با، قلبي موجوع
Oh Mom, oh Dad, my heart is aching
بغيابكم دموعي ما بغات تْرجع
In your absence, my tears don't want to stop
توحشت حنانكم، دعاوي الخير
I missed your tenderness, your good prayers
يا ريتني حداكم، وننسى التفكير
Ya rītnī ḥdākum, w nensā et-tafkīr
I wish I were with you, and forget all worries
