في حمى الخمسينَ قلبي

إنْ أنا غنَّيتُ أنَّا

إنْ أنا غنَّيتُ أنَّا

In the fever of my fifties

if I sing, it moans.

وإذا ما رحتُ أبكي

وإذا ما رحتُ أبكي

راحَ قلبي يتغنَّى

And when I begin to weep,

And when I go crying

my heart begins to sing.

My heart goes singing

وسنبقي ما حيينا

وسنبقي ما حيينا

مثلما من قبلُ كنَّا

مثلما من قبلُ كنَّا

And we will remain as long as we live

just as we were before.

As we were before
