Verse 1:

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?

اللازمة:

Al-lāzima:

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

اللازمة:

Chorus:

يا ترى فاكراني ولا نسيتيني

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

I found it in your life... but it wasn't meant for me

الكوبري (أكتر حتة فيها وجع):

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?

الخاتمة:

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.
