محبوبي راح يا يُمّا
حاكاني بِنومي يا يُمّا
و قلّلي طير السما
علّى فوقي
فوق الشمس علّى و نادالي
راح محبوبي..
يا ربي صلّيت ودّيلو
سلامي ودّيت ناديلو
يُمّا يا ترى وصل حبيبي فوقْ
يُمّا لما بكرة تجي نصليلو
راح محبوبي...

My lover has left, O mother
He talked to me in my sleep, O mother
He told me that the sky’s bird
Has flown off very high above me
Above the sun
And is speaking to me
My love has gone, O mother
He’s no longer here, O mother
I pray to you, O God
To tell him I said hello
I pray that I can speak to him again,
O mother, did he arrive safely?
Next time you are here
Let us pray for him together
He has gone, O mother
My love is no longer here, O mother
