افتكرتك بعد سنين نسيانك
Iftakartik ba'd sneen nisyānak
I remembered you after years of forgetting you
طال بينا البعد وطال هجرانك
Ṭāl bīna al-bu'd wa ṭāl hojrānak
Our distance grew long, and your abandonment prolonged
افتكرت أيامنا وبعد خطواتك
Iftakart ayyāmnā wa ba'd khaṭawātik
I remembered our days and your departing steps
وإزاي قلبي كان بيهون في حضنك
W izzāy qalbī kān bihūn fī ḥuḍnik
And how my heart was at ease in your embrace
فاكر ضحكتك وصوتك في كلامك
Fākir ḍaḥkitik wa ṣawtik fī kalāmik
I remember your laugh and your voice when you spoke
فاكر ليالينا وأحلامنا قدامك
Fākir layālīnā wa aḥlāmnā quddāmak
I remember our nights and our dreams before us
كنا بنرسم بكرة بإيدينا
Kunnā binarsim bokra bi'īdīnā
We used to draw tomorrow with our own hands
مين كان يصدق يوم نفترق عن بعضينا
Mīn kān yiṣaddiq yōm niftariq 'an ba'ḍīnā
Who would have believed we'd ever part from each other?

Chorus:
يا ترى فاكراني ولا نسيتيني
Yā tarā fākirānī wala nisītīnī
I wonder, do you remember me, or have you forgotten me?
ولا الأيام قدرت تاخدك من عيني
Wala al-ayyām qidrit tākhudik min 'aynī
Or have the days managed to take you from my sight?
أنا لسه فاكر كل كلمة ما بينا
Anā lissa fākir kull kalima mā bēnna
I still remember every word between us
حتى الوعود اللي ضاعت من إيدينا
Ḥattā al-wu'ūd illī ḍā'at min īdīnā
Even the promises that slipped from our hands
يا خسارة حلم كان بينا واتنسى
Yā khasāra ḥulm kān bēnna w'ittansā
What a shame for a dream we had that was forgotten
ويا خسارة قلب على الفراق ما نسي
Wa yā khasāra qalb 'ala al-firāq mā nisī
And what a shame for a heart that hasn't forgotten the separation
كل اللي كان نفسي أعيشه معاكي
Kull illī kān nafsī a'īsho ma'āki
Everything I wished to live with you
لقيته في حياتك… بس مش من نصيبي
Laqīto fī ḥayātik… bas mish min naṣībī
I found it in your life... but it wasn't meant for me
الكوبليه التاني:
Al-koblih al-tānī:
Verse 2:
عرفت أخبارك من بعيد بالصدفة
A'raft akhbārik min ba'īd biṣ-ṣudfa
I learned your news from afar by chance
وعرفت إنك عيشتي بعدي في زحمة
Wa 'araft innik 'īshtī ba'dī fī zaḥma
And I learned that you lived a busy life after me
وإن السنين خلت ليكي بيت وعيال
W innas-sneen khallat līki bēt wa 'iyāl
And that the years gave you a home and children
وإنك نسيتي وجعنا وطول الليال
W innik nisītī waj'anā wa ṭūl al-layāl
And that you forgot our pain and the long nights
وعرفت إن عندك بنت زي القمر
Wa 'araft in 'andik bint zayy al-qamar
And I learned you have a daughter, beautiful as the moon
ضحكتها يمكن تشبهك وقت السهر
Ḍaḥkit'ha yumkin tishbihik waqt as-sahar
Her laugh might resemble yours during the evening
وسميتيها الاسم اللي اخترناه سوا
Wa sammētīhā al-ism illī ikhtarnāh sawa
And you named her the name we chose together
الاسم اللي كان حلمنا يوم ما جينا
Al-ism illī kān ḥulmnā yōm mā gīnā
The name that was our dream the day we came
الكوبليه التالت:
Al-koblih al-tālit:
Verse 3:
يوم ما سمعت الاسم قلبي اتوجع
Yōm mā simi't al-ism qalbī itwaja'
The day I heard the name, my heart ached
حسيت وجع سنين البعد جوايا رجع
Ḥassēt waja' sneen al-bu'd gūwāya raja'
I felt the pain of years of separation return inside me
ده كان اسم بنتنا اللي حلمنا بيها
Da kān ism bintinā illī ḥalamnā bīhā
That was the name of our daughter we dreamed of
وكنا بنحلف إننا هنربيها
Wa kunnā binḥalif innana hanrabīhā
And we used to swear we would raise her
يا ترى لما ندهتي عليها أول مرة
Yā tarā lammā nadahtī 'alēhā awwal marra
I wonder, when you called her for the first time
افتكرتيني ولو ثانية في المرة؟
Iftakartīnī walaw thāniya fī al-marra?
Did you remember me, even for a second, at that moment?
ولا الاسم عدى عليكي عادي خلاص
Wala al-ism 'addā 'alēki 'ādī khalaṣ
Or did the name pass by you normally now?
وأنا اللي عشت عمري أسير نفس الإحساس
Wa ana illī 'isht 'umrī asīr nafs al-iḥsās
And I'm the one who lived my life captive to the same feeling

Al-kobri (aktar ḥitta fīhā waja'):
Bridge (the most painful part):
مش زعلان إنك بقيتي أم وبيت
Mish za'lān innik baqītī umm wa bēt
I'm not upset that you became a mother and have a home
ولا إنك عيشتي بعدي واتطمنّيتي
Wala innik 'īshtī ba'dī w'itṭamannētī
Nor that you lived after me and found peace
أنا زعلان على حلم كان لينا إحنا
Anā za'lān 'ala ḥulm kān līnā iḥnā
I'm upset about a dream that was ours alone
وعلى حياة كاملة في خيالنا بنيناها
Wa 'ala ḥayāh kāmla fī khayālnā banēnāhā
And about a whole life we built in our imagination
يمكن نصيبنا ما كتبش نكمل سوا
Yumkin naṣībnā mā katabsh nikammil sawa
Maybe our destiny wasn't to complete it together
ويمكن فراقنا كان آخره الجفا
Wa yumkin firāqnā kān ākhro al-jafā
And maybe our separation ended in estrangement
بس لو في يوم بنتك سألتك عن الاسم
Bas law fī yōm bintik sa'altik 'an al-ism
But if one day your daughter asks you about the name
هتفتكري إن كان لينا حكاية واتقسمت
Hataftikirī in kān līnā ḥikāya w'itqassamit?
Will you remember that we had a story that was divided?

Al-khātima:
Outro:
افتكرتك بعد سنين نسيانك
Iftakartik ba'd sneen nisyānak
I remembered you after years of forgetting you
ولقيتني لسه واقف عند مكانك
Wa laqītnī lissa wāqif 'and makānik
And I found myself still standing in your place
إنتي بقيتي حكاية في عمر غيري
Intī baqītī ḥikāya fī 'umr ghayrī
You became a story in someone else's life
وأنا لسه شايل حلمنا في صدري
Wa ana lissa shāyil ḥulmnā fī ṣadrī
And I'm still carrying our dream in my chest
ربنا يسعد قلبك ويهنيكي
Rabbina yis'id qalbik wa yihannīki
May God make your heart happy and bless you
ويخليلك بنتك ويحميها ليكي
Wa yikhallīlik bintik wa yiḥmīhā līki
And keep your daughter for you and protect her for you
بس لو سألتيني إيه اللي باقي مني؟
Bas law sa'altīnī ēh illī bāqī minnī?
But if you ask me what's left of me?
اسم بنتنا… وذكرى حب ما ماتش جوايا.
Ism bintinā… wa dhikra ḥubb mā mātsh gūwāya.
Our daughter's name... and the memory of a love that didn't die inside me.
