Zay El Hawa

[Part 1][Part 1]

Like the wind, my love, like the windZay el hawa ya habibi, zay el hawa
Oh, the breeze, my love, oh, the breezeWe ah mel hawa, ya habibi, ah mel hawa

And my hand in yours, my love, we walkWe khateni men eidee, ya habibi, we mesheena
Under the moon, we sing, we laugh and cryTaht el amar, ghanaina, we seherna wa hakaina
And in the essence of words, silence prevailsWe fe iz el kalaam, siket el kalaam

You guide me, holding the wind in my handWatarenee, masek el hawa be edaya
Oh, the breeze, my love, oh, the breeze, my loveWe ah mel hawa ya habibi, Ah mel hawa ya habibi

[Part 2][Part 2]

And my hand in yours, we walk, and joy dominatesWe khateni we meshena, wel farh ye domina
We forget, my love, who you are and who I amWe neseena ya habibi, meen enta we meen ana
I feel like a fool, living for a million yearsHaset enni hawana, hayeesh milion sanna

And when you're with me, the world is in my handsWe ba-et wenta ma-aya, el donia milk edaya
I command the air, say your command, my eyesAqmor alla hawaya, te oul amraki ya einaya
And in the essence of words, silence prevailsWe fe iz el kalaam, siket el kalaam

You guide me, holding the wind in my handWatarenee, masek el hawa be edaya
Oh, the breeze, my love, oh, the breeze, my loveWe ah mel hawa ya habibi, Ah mel hawa ya habibi

I'm scared, and I walk while scaredKhaief, we mesheet wanaa khaief
My hand, in your hand, I'm scaredEdee, fe edaak wana khaief
Scared of losing the joy in my heartKhaief alla farhet albi
Scared of my longing and my loveKhaief ala shoki we hobee

And one day you told meWe yama oltelak ana
We were in the peak of blissWehnaa fee eiz el hana
I told you, my loveOultilak, ya habibi
Because this joy is eternalLana ad el farha deya
And the sweetness of joy is eternalWe halawt el farha deya
Scared that if there's a day and nightKhaief law fe yom we leyla
I won't lose controlMa la-eksh bein edaya
You come and go, you come and go on meTerooh we tegheeb, tegheeb alaya

And you told me, my love, its timeWe oltelee, ya habibi, sa-et-ha
My world, you filled itDe donietee, entalli malet-ha
And in the essence of words, silence prevailsWe fe iz el kalaam, siket el kalaam
You guide me, holding the wind in my handWatarenee, masek el hawa be edaya
Oh, the breeze, my love, oh, the breeze, my loveWe ah mel hawa ya habibi, Ah mel hawa ya habibi

[Part 5][Part 5]

And you held me, my love, and I flew, flewWe khatenee ya habibi, we roht tayer, tayer
And you embraced me, my love, and my heart soared, soaredWe foteni ya habibi, we albi hayer, hayer
And you told me to return, tomorrow I'll returnWe oltelee ragei, bokra ana ragei
And I surrendered, trusting in my wishesWe fedelt mestani be amani
And filled the house with roses, with passion, with love, with songsWe malee el beit bel ward, bel shoq, bel hob, bel aghani
And you heard, you heard, the sweetest words from my lipsWe shamei ayed, shamei ayed, we ahla kelma fok lesanee
That was my state, my love, when you cameKan da hali ya habibi, lama geet

We sang the sweet melody togetherRadetna el ghenwa el helwa sawa
And our hearts illuminated like candles togetherWe eloubna ma nour el shamaa sawa
And we tasted the sweetness of love. We tasted it togetherWe douqna halawt el hob. Douknaha sawa
And in that moment I met you, my love, my love, like the eternal windWe fe lahza laqetak ya habibi, ya habibi, zay dawamit hawa

The roses wilted, the candles extinguished, my loveRamet el ward, tafeit el shamei ya habibi
The sweet melody, its music faded, my loveWel ghenwa el helwa, malaha el damei ya habibi
And in the essence of safety, that's where safety liesWe fe eiz el aman, daa meneel aman
You guide me, holding the wind in my handWatarini, masek el hawa be edaya
Oh, the breeze, my love, oh, the breeze, my loveWe ah mel hawa ya habibi, Ah mel hawa ya habibi
