Those seeing the beautiful one

Send him my greetings

Tell him that he is my soul

Day and night and thereafter

Love is a fire that burns

It scorches the liver

They brought me the best doctor

But his antidotes had no effect

Woe he who has loved

And does not know what he loved

There is love that brings joy and love

That brings illness to the heart

And a love that leaves you lost

And the eyes tear

You cry day and night

And the eye does not subside

There is a love

That does not allow you to eat nor drink

And a love that brings you to song

To dance with your loved one

يا شائفين المليحردوا سلامي له

قولوا له هو روحي ليل ونهار بعده

الحب هو نار حمراء يحرق الأكباد

جابوا لي أكبر مداوي

ودواه ما أفاد

يا ويل من حب

ولا يدري على أيش قد حب

في حب يهنيك وحب

يجيب لك مرض في القلب

وحب يخليك هايم

والعيون تدمع

تبكي صباح والمساء

والعين ما تقنع

في حب يخليك

لا تأكل ولا تشرب

وحب يخليك تغني

مع الحبيب تلعب
