[Verse 1]

يا طول ليلي، ما غفى لي جفن

Ya tool layli, ma ghafa li jafn

Oh, how long my night is, my eyelid hasn't closed

أفكر فيك، يا عسى نومي يزين

Ofakkir feek, ya 'asa nawmi yazein

I think of you, oh, may my sleep be good

صورتك ما تفارق عيني، يا زين

Sooratuk ma tfariq 'ayni, ya zein

Your image never leaves my eyes, oh beautiful one

يا ليتني قلت اللي بقلبي، من سنين

Ya laytani qult illi biqalbi, min sneen

Oh, I wish I had said what was in my heart, years ago

[Chorus]

يا حلم العمر، يا أغلى من الروح

Ya hilm al-'umr, ya aghla min ar-rooh

Oh dream of a lifetime, oh more precious than the soul

سرّك بقلبي، ما بين البوح

Sirruk biqalbi, ma bayn al-booh

Your secret is in my heart, not to be revealed

أخاف أقول، وتضيع كل الفروح

Akhaf aqool, wa tadeea' kull al-furooh

I'm afraid to speak, and all joys will be lost

وأعيش عمري، بجروح

Wa a'eesh 'umri, bijrooh

And I'll live my life, with wounds

[Verse 2]

كل ما أشوفك، قلبي يرجف حيل

Kull ma ashoofak, qalbi yarjif hayl

Every time I see you, my heart trembles intensely

أتمنى قربك، لو يطول الليل

Atamanna qurbak, law yatool al-layl

I wish for your closeness, even if the night is long

كلماتي تضيع، والقلب يميل

Kalimati tadeea', wal-qalb yameel

My words get lost, and my heart leans (towards you)

كيف أوصل لك شعوري، يا أصيل

Kayf awsul lak shu'oori, ya aseel

How can I convey my feelings to you, oh noble one

[Chorus]

يا حلم العمر، يا أغلى من الروح

Ya hilm al-'umr, ya aghla min ar-rooh

Oh dream of a lifetime, oh more precious than the soul

سرّك بقلبي، ما بين البوح

Sirruk biqalbi, ma bayn al-booh

Your secret is in my heart, not to be revealed

أخاف أقول، وتضيع كل الفروح

Akhaf aqool, wa tadeea' kull al-furooh

I'm afraid to speak, and all joys will be lost

وأعيش عمري، بجروح

Wa a'eesh 'umri, bijrooh

And I'll live my life, with wounds

[Bridge]

الصمت أحياناً، هو أصعب كلام

As-samt ahyanan, huwa as'ab kalam

Silence sometimes, is the hardest speech

يا ليتني تجرأت، قبل فوات الأوان

Ya laytani tajara't, qabl fawat al-awan

Oh, I wish I had dared, before it was too late

[Chorus]

يا حلم العمر، يا أغلى من الروح

Ya hilm al-'umr, ya aghla min ar-rooh

Oh dream of a lifetime, oh more precious than the soul

سرّك بقلبي، ما بين البوح

Sirruk biqalbi, ma bayn al-booh

Your secret is in my heart, not to be revealed

أخاف أقول، وتضيع كل الفروح

Akhaf aqool, wa tadeea' kull al-furooh

I'm afraid to speak, and all joys will be lost

وأعيش عمري، بجروح

Wa a'eesh 'umri, bijrooh

And I'll live my life, with wounds
