lyrics

Original Arabic Lyrics

عاشق فيّا

الخطّابة قدّام الدّار
يا ما جاو طلبوا يديّا
وأنا وحدي الّي نختار
الّي قلبي يشير عليّا

لا يعنيلي جاه و مال
و لا كنوز مخبّيّة
الّي نحبّو ولد حلال
باع الدّنيا و شاري فيّا

لا تقولولي زين و عين
أسمر و عيونو عسليّة
الّي نحبّو قلبو حنين
مغروم و عاشق فيّا

English Translation

My Adorer

The suitors are by the door.
So many have asked for my hand,
But it's me who will choose whom I adore.
The one whom my heart will forever beside him stand.

I don't seek wealth or fortune,
Neither hidden treasures.
I am seeking the one and only passion,
Who has me on his mind, and not the worldly pleasures.

Beauty and fairness don't impress me.
He's dark with hazel eyes.
The one I love has a tender sensibility.
He's infatuated, he's my adorer it seems.
In his sleepless nights, I rest in his dreams.
