Najat Al Saghira’s Masterpiece “Aish Ma’aya”
Live with me
Oh, the love of my life, it’s been an eternity since you and I were together
A precious lifetime could never repay the days that I would sacrifice for you
Live, live with me, my love, live with me
You and love, we are here
No matter how long we live, my beloved, my beloved
One lifetime is not enough, not enough, my love, it’s not enough
Oh my love, who am I? Who are you? Or are we one?
We are souls that love souls, seeking affection in this yearning
Live with me, live with me, away from the world, away from every eye
For love and passion were created for us, my love
I wish to live with you for years in a love that is long-lasting and boundless
I long to be the happiness you find in a world where joy is scarce
Forget everything except the fire of beauty and love
Live, live with me, my love, live with me
You and love, we are here
No matter how long we live, my beloved, my beloved
One lifetime is not enough, not enough, my love, it’s not enough
Oh, the smile of life, a lifetime wishing for a smile
So many times hope thrived in your love, living in bliss over and over
Mohamed Abdel Wahab’s Song “Ana Wal Azab W Hayak”
What is the end between us?
We are living for each other
Oh, you who have forgotten us
I kept the promises of love, never betrayed nor sold its days
I hid my love in my heart and sang its melody
Then I said I would sing
You distanced yourself from me
My youth confused with you
Patient and waiting for you
What is the end between us?
Me and the pain and your love
What is the end between us?
Oh, you who are cruel to me
And I keep feeling this way
Desire overflowing between us
Tolerance not easy for us
Oh, you who have forgotten us
We are living for each other
Oh, you who have forgotten us
Those in love are the unfortunate ones, enduring yet feeling tortured
For love is treacherous, making hearts bewildered, knowing neither it nor mine
Oh, I love you
Brought me to tears
And my youth remained confused with you
Patient and waiting for you
What is the end between us?
Me and the pain and your love
What is the end between us?
You have bewildered my love
You tormented my being
And desire is spilling over
Tolerance not easy for us
Oh, you who have forgotten us
We are living for each other
Oh, you who have forgotten us
My eyes on your eyes, my lashes closed, can you hear my cry of injustice?
Your eyes speak as your lashes greet me while you remain distant
With every glance
Oh, have you ever wondered
And my youth remains confused with you
Patient and waiting for you
What is the end between us?
Me and the pain and your love
What is the end between us?
I see your love as the cause of my quarrel
And desire spilling over between us
Tolerance not easy for us
Oh, you who have forgotten us
We are living for each other
Oh, you who have forgotten us
Abdel Halim Hafez’s Beloved “Ahawak”
I adore you and wish I could forget you
And forget my soul along with you
And if I lose it, it will be a sacrifice for you if you forget me
And forget me, show me that I can forget your indifference
And yearn for my torment with you
And I find my tears when I remember you
Return to me again
With you, the world welcomes me
And its contentment depends on yours
And then it becomes tolerable being deprived of your love
And I find you preoccupied, busy with me
And my eyes find refuge in yours
And their words linger with you as you shield from me
And I will guard you, waking in the night to call you
Sending my soul to awaken you
Awaken, you who occupy my thoughts, and feel my fire
Farid Al-Atrash and Shadia’s Duet “Ya Salam Ala Hubbi Wa Hubbk”
Oh, the joy of my love and your love
A promise written for me to love you
No, I am not the night because of your love
Oh, the joy of my love and your love
This was never my intention to love you
No, I am not the night because of your love
Oh, the joy of my love and your love
My beloved, your love has driven me mad
And longing fills me with wounds
By your life, do not drift from me
And leave me so I can find peace
And you know I am holding on to you
For my heart is preoccupied with your love
Your love has bewildered me
And I am just like you in this
May God give me patience
Most Beautiful Modern Songs
Amr Diab’s Beautiful Song “W Maloh”
What if we lost our way one night, leaving behind everyone?
I, my love, feel a new love; fill me with this feeling
And here, beside me, are the dearest of people
My beloved, let us forget what has past
Come into my embrace and find peace
This night is worth all of life
And who else but you? Without your love, who would I live for?
My beloved, the most beautiful years are coming
And life becomes more precious
My beloved, touch my hands to confirm
The reality of what I feel
How many times I wished to meet you; it’s been a while
Now, why should I dream?
Because I am here with the dearest people
My beloved, let us forget what has past
Come into my embrace and find peace
This night is worth all of life
And who else but you? Without your love, who would I live for?
My beloved, the most beautiful years are coming
And life becomes ever sweeter
Tamer Hosny’s Song “Allah Yebarakli Feek”
My love, because of my love for you, I won’t speak or sing for you
From this day, I will love you with a new love that brings me joy
God bless you, my dearest
God let me have you and bring you this world
Oh God… oh God, protect me, my love, my precious, and keep you close
I am here in front of you, holding everything for you, totally yours
I asked my heart how much it loves you
And my heart told me it has a new love
God bless you, my dearest
God let me have you and bring you this world
Oh God, my love, protect me and keep you close
Amr Mostafa’s Song “Bartaah Ma’ak”
I’m at ease with you; everything has changed within me because of your charm
If it weren’t for your touch in my hands, I would say you are an angel
And your hands are in mine, so why should I let go?
My love, tell me, what is greater than this feeling?
Is there anything greater than you that I could wish for?
I’m at ease with you; everything has changed within me because of your charm
If it weren’t for your touch in my hands, I would say you are an angel
And your hands are in mine, so why should I let go?
My love, tell me, what is greater than this feeling?
Nancy Ajram’s Song “Lamsat Eed”
A touch of hand reassures me, making me forget you were ever far
How does love melt like this?
I swear by three hearts: a heart that loves you, a heart that melts, and a heart that is jealous
Take me in your arms and protect me
Make me feel your existence completely
Believe me, I appreciate the value of my eyes much more when I see you
Promise me, you will stay close forever
Promise me, distance won’t separate us
My soul, my eyes, and my heart were created to love you
If you are not by my side, then I haven’t existed
