Oh doves, why are you weeping You reminded me of my loved ones My heart is burned and injured since my beloved ones went away	Ya hamam betnawah leih Fakert aleya el habayeb Galbi makwi we madjeroh min yoom ma ghabo el habayeeb	يا حمام بتنوح ليه فكرت عليا الحبابيب قلبي مكوي ومجروح من يوم ما غابوا الحبابيب
They jailed me and took the keys (of the prison) and said that the warden is not here They jailed me and took the keys (of the prison) and said that the warden is not here Not a small window from which I get some air nor see the loved ones through it	Sadjanoni we khadu elmafatih we galo sadjanek ghayeb Sadjanoni we khadu elmafatih we galo sadjanek ghayeb Wala taga tedjib li rih ana hanzor biha elhabayeb	سجنوني وخدوا المفاتيح وقالوا سجانك غايب سجنوني وخدوا المفاتيح وقالوا سجانك غايب ولا طاقة تجيب لي ريح أنا أنظر بيها الحبابيب
You have been far for a year and years You have been far for a year and years Not asking about us, nor sending a letter to us We cannot complain to anyone but you, because you are the dearest	Malikom sana we sneen fil belad metgharabeen Malikom sana we sneen fil belad metgharabeen Wala aleina saeleen wala djawab baeteen Ehna gherkom neshki lmein ennho aezz elhabayeb	ما ليكم سنة وسنين في البلاد متغربين ما ليكم سنة وسنين في البلاد متغربين ولا علينا سائلين ولا جواب باعتين إحنا غيركم نشكي لمين إنه أعز الحبابيب
Oh doves, why are you complaining and spending the night weeping? Oh doves, why are you complaining and spending the night weeping? They told me they are suffering from alienation because of the absence of the loved ones	Ya hammam malak beteshki wa tebat elleil betebki Ya hammam malak beteshki wa tebat elleil betebki Galli ana fil ghorba mekwi min yom ma ghabo elhabayeb	يا حمام مالك بتشكي وتبات الليل بتبكي يا حمام مالك بتشكي وتبات الليل بتبكي قال لي أنا في الغربة مكوي من يوم ما غابوا الحبابيب
Oh doves, why are you weeping You reminded me of my loved ones	Ya hamam betnawah leih Fakert aleya el habayeb	يا حمام بتنوح ليه فكرت عليا الحبابيب
My heart is burned and injured since my beloved ones went away	Galbi makwi we madjeroh min yoom ma ghabo el habayeeb	قلبي مكوي ومجروح من يوم ما غابوا الحبابيب
