Habbaytek Besaif Lyrics

Bi ejem il berd - In the cold days
we ejem ie shitie - In winter
we rasief bouhairi - when the sidewalk is a lake
we sjarri ghrari - and the street is drowned
tizjie haki'l bint - this girl has come
men beeta a'l ati - from her old house to await him
wie i len derrinie - he who had told her to wait
wa ten dar al tari - but he has gone away
wairoh oe insaha - and forgotten
weteddel bishitie - and she withers away in winter

habbaytek besaif - I have loved you in summertime
habbaytek bishitie - I have loved you in winter
nadartek besaif - I awaited you in summertime
tadartek bishitie - I awaited you in winter
wa ajoenek issaif - your eyes are summer
wa ajoenie shitie - my eyes are winter
oe mel ena ja habibi - and our rendezvous my love
gelfisaif oe gelfi shitie - is beyond summer and beyond winter

mirrit'il gharibi - the strange one passed by atitnie risèli - and gave me a message
ketebaha habibi - my lover had written
bi dem ill hethien - whit his tears
fatahed ti rèseli - I opened the message
horofa dajjaien - whose letters were lost
oe mèrè it ejèm - and days passed
oe gharrabet nesnien - years enstranged us
we horofha risèli - while winter had erased
mehaiha shitie - the letters of a message

habbaytek besaif - I have loved you in summertime
habbaytek bishitie - I have loved you in winter
nadartek besaif - I awaited you in summertime
tadartek bishitie - I awaited you in winter
wa ajoenek issaif - your eyes are summer
wa ajoenie shitie - my eyes are winter
oe mel ena ja habibi - and our rendezvous my love
gelfisaif oe gelfi shitie - is beyond summer and beyond winter

gelfisaif oe gelfi shitie - Is beyond summer and beyond winter
