حبيبي جاني وهنّاني

حبيبي جاني وهنّاني

ونسيت في قربه أجشاني

ونسيت في قربه أجشاني

My beloved came to me and brought me joy.

My beloved came to me joyfully

And close to him, I forgot my sorrows.

And in his nearness I forgot my sorrows

ما كانش ظنّه أشوفه تاني

ما كانش ظنّه أشوفه تاني

بعد اللي كان من هجراني

بعد اللي كان من هجراني

He had not expected that I would see him again,

I didn't expect to see him again

After all that had come of his forsaking me.

After he had abandoned me

حبّيته بعد ما شفت هواه

حبّيته بعد ما شفت هواه

سبب نعيمي وهنايا

سبب نعيمي وهنايا

I loved him once I saw that his love

I loved him when I saw his love

Was the source of my bliss and joy.

The reason for my bliss and delight

وكنت قبل ما عيش ويّاه

وكنت قبل ما عيش ويّاه

أقاسي في الوحده شقايا

أقاسي في الوحده شقايا

And before I lived with him,

Before living with him

I endured my misery in solitude.

I suffered loneliness and woes

ولمّا حببته سقاني

ولمّا حببته سقاني

من كارس غرامه ورواني

من كارس غرامه ورواني

And when I loved him, he gave me drink

And when I loved him he quenched

From the cup of his passion, and quenched my thirst.

My thirst from the wine of his passion

روحه الجميلة بتسعدني

روحه الجميلة بتسعدني

وحسنّه بيفرح قلي

وحسنّه بيفرح قلي

His beautiful soul makes me happy,

His beautiful soul brings me joy

And his beauty gladdens my heart.

And his beauty delights my heart

ساعة ما شوفه قريب مني

ساعة ما شوفه قريب مني

أحسد فؤادي على حبي

أحسد فؤادي على حبي

The moment I see him close to me,

When I see him near me

I envy my heart for the love I bear.

I envy my heart for its love

ولما يسمع ألحاني

ولما يسمع ألحاني

يعطف عليّ ويهواني

يعطف عليّ ويهواني

And when he hears my melodies,

And when he hears my melodies

He shows me tenderness and loves me.

He shows me affection and gentleness

حبيبي مين زي حبيبي

حبيبي مين زي حبيبي

في حسنه ولّا في كلامه

في حسنه ولّا في كلامه

My beloved—who is like my beloved,

My beloved, who is like my beloved

In his beauty or in his words?

In his beauty or in his words

رضيت به الدنيا نصيبي

رضيت به الدنيا نصيبي

ورضيت بهجره وخصامه

ورضيت بهجره وخصامه

I was content with him as my lot in this world,

I accepted him as my fate in life

And accepted his desertion and his quarrels.

And accepted his abandonment and discord

ويوم ما جاني وهنّاني

ويوم ما جاني وهنّاني

فرّحني بعد ما بكّاني

فرّحني بعد ما بكّاني

And the day he came to me and brought me joy,

And the day he came to me joyfully

He made me happy after making me weep.

He gladdened me after making me cry
